Under Construction 2025 09 08

Kristan Horton has a multi-disciplinary practice that includes sculpture, drawing, photography and video. Using layered processes of construction, both material and virtual, he has produced several long-term projects linked conceptually by their serial and episodic structure. Grounded in rigorous studio research, Horton brings his subjects to life through innovative and experimental approaches to various mediums. He studied at Guelph University and the Ontario College of Art and Design. He has had an international exhibition career since the late 1990s exhibiting at White Columns, NY; Munchner Kammerspiele, Münich; Glassbox, Paris; ZKM, Karlsruhe; Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art, Helsinki; Inter Communications Center, Tokyo; York University Art Gallery; The Contemporary Art Gallery, Vancouver; Buffalo AKG Art Museum, Buffalo; Salzburger Kunstverein, Austria; Musee d'art contemporain de Montreal, Quebec; Alberta Art Gallery, Alberta; SVETOVA 1, Prague, Czech Republic; Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto and The National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa.
