Berlin-based New Zealand artist Ruth Buchanan presents a lecture, The Curtain, The Poodle, The Bodybuilder: Notes on Movement. Buchanan has a BFA from Elam School of Fine Art, Auckland (2002), and an MA (Fine Art) from Piet Zwart Institute, Rotterdam (2007). She was a fine-arts researcher at Jan van Eyck Academie, Maastricht (2008–9). Her process begins in the archive, where encounters with particular sites, formats of display, structures for grouping material, or spaces where the processing of material is channelled into spatial and literary propositions. Her recent exhibitions include Looking As or Is Metronome, Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin; Ruth Buchanan/Ayse Erkmen, Hopkinson Mossman, Auckland; Version Control, Arnolfini, Bristol; On Performance, Kunsthaus Bregenz; and Several Attentions, The Showroom, London.
