Matthew Buckingham

Since the mid-1990s, Matthew Buckingham (born in 1963 in Nevada, Iowa) has been challenging the relationship we have with history. Surprised by the understanding we have of it, and the objectivity value we allot it, the artist re-interprets historical facts, the better to question the significance and meaning of documents and imagery, as well as inscribing them in accordance with different perspectives.
Matthew Buckingham's work has been shown in several solo and group exhibitions: Hamburger Bahnhof Museum für Gegenwart, Berlin (2007); Lunds Konsthall (2006) ; Kunstverein und Kunstmuseum St Gallen (2006); Liverpool Biennial International (2006); Lisson Gallery, London (2005); Museum Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig, Vienna (2003); PS1 Contemporary Art Center, New York (2002); Murray Guy, New York (2001)...
