Nathalie Hunter’s work as a painter is structured by<br />

the will to integrate it in daily life and reality. This<br />

will takes its departure from the idea that, because<br />

of its significant history and because it has been<br />

declared dead more often than alive, painting might<br />

appear quite odd today. Going from the idea that we<br />

must study the past in order to liberate ourselves<br />

from it, Hunter considers what might happen if<br />

habitual categories such as intention, subject<br />

or even perception were systematically – or randomly – displaced. By using<br />

extant technical systems like the internet to construct meetings, conversations<br />

and interactions, Hunter is ‘enframing’ the process of painting as a collective,<br />

communicative event (challenging the idea that painting is a solitary activity).<br />

She designs and deploys a heterogeneous register of digital and interactive<br />

technologies, digital communication systems that allow her to engage and<br />

interact with individuals and communities, inviting them to action. The trace of<br />

this event becomes the painting. With her work Hunter opens a new space for<br />

painting. Her work brings about an abnegation of the artefact as a complete,<br />

referential, or self-sufficient thing. (Thomas Zummer)<br />
