In over forty years of creating cultural objects, Tim Whiten has sought to navigate the territory of the human condition with the intent of inviting experiences and encouraging “sensing” over “reading”. Whiten’s work extends from two- to three-dimensional forms and includes ritual performances, real-time systems, site-specific and mixed media installations. His work is held in numerous private, corporate, and public collections, such as the National Gallery of Canada, the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Art Gallery of Hamilton, the Tom Thomson Art Gallery, the Art Gallery of Windsor, the Robert McLaughlin Gallery, the Mackenzie Art Gallery, and the Achenbach Foundation for the Graphic Arts, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco (both the de Young and the Legion of Honor). Photo: Margherita Matera
