Andrew James Paterson

 

Andrew James Paterson is an inter-media artist active with video, film, writing, performance, curation, and musical performance. Paterson has a history of activity with artist-run culture and self-initiated projects. His videos and films have been exhibited in Seoul, Bangalore, New York, London, Montreal, and other international venues in addition to Toronto. His work has always entertained a performative element, and he has presented performances in tandem with projected film and video in many venues.

Paterson has also functioned as a writer and editor, most notably for YYZ Books with the book Money, Value, Art (2001 co-edited with Sally McKay). His media-art work can be broken into two strands - one consisting of original still images processed in Final Cut Pro , and one involving hand-held black and white super-8 film. These latter works occupy an idiosyncratic space between performance and documentary. Paterson has also been active as a programmer or curator for independent media works and also visual art exhibitions.

Many of Paterson’s work are concerned with the tensions between bodies, technologies, and institutions. His body of work is characterized by a symbiotic relationship between bodies, landscapes, technological initiatives, and abstraction. Paterson has served as a curator or programmer for many organizations: Cinematheque Ontario, the Images Festival, YYZ Artists’ Outlet, Trinity Square Video, Mercer Union, and others. He continues to oscillate between bodies and technologies in his own works, and he now works as a coordinator for the 8 fest festival of small-gauge films.

Andrew James Paterson is the winner of the 2014 Tom Berner Award sponsored by LIFT and Images Festival and “presented annually to an individual who has provided extraordinary support to the cause of independent filmmaking in Toronto."
