Charles Stankievech
Canada
Charles Stankievech (b. 1978) is a Canadian artist redefining “fieldwork” at the convergence of geopolitics, deep ecologies, and sonic resonances. From the Arctic’s northernmost settlement to the depths of the Pacific Ocean, Stankievech’s practice uncovers the paradoxes of our existence on the planet by engaging with the imperceptible.
His award-winning work has been presented at art institutions such as the Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin; Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Denmark; Canadian Centre for Architecture, Montreal; Kunste Werke, Berlin; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; National Gallery of Canada; TBA21, Vienna; as well as several biennials from Venice to SITE Santa Fe. As a composer he mentored under World Soundscape founder R. Murray Schafer and then Alvin Lucier, leading to the premiere of his work Radiance for Philip Glass’ MATA foundation.
He is currently Associate Professor in the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Toronto.
