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 />
