Michael Fullerton


Michael Fullerton explores the transmission and reception of information in its broadest sense. His materials and methods often refer to the tools and technologies of communication, such as newsprint or analogue recording, while his subject matter relates to the institutions and individuals involved. For Fullerton, a process such as painting is comparable to a recording mechanism for which the artist claims ultimate responsibility. Once a subject has been selected a host of aesthetic choices shape the image and convey artistic intent. But Fullerton questions whether aesthetic decisions can translate into political effect. Collectively, his works reveal the mediated nature of all forms of information and the role and responsibilities of the interpreter.
