Peter Barrickman, a multidisciplinary artist with a focus in painting, Barrickman makes work in tandem with a diaristic archiving practice. Formally and stylistically multi-voiced, he looks at structures which constitute place and the treasures or curses of the temporal. The artist’s working methods have been heavily influenced by collaborative and social art making projects including music, film/video and performance.

Barrickman’s work has been shown at numerous venues internationally, including at La Panaderia in Mexico City, Karma International in Zurich, The Tate Modern in London, Hyde Park Art Center in Chicago, The Museum of Contemporary Art in Detroit, Cité des Arts International in Paris and The Whitney Museum of American Art.
