JON BATURIN
BA (Victoria), Intermediate Diploma (Vancouver School of Art), Advanced Diploma (Emily Carr), MFA (Glasgow)
Associate Professor: photography, digital media
Department of Visual Arts, York University
Jon Baturin has spent much of the past decade investigating ideological constructs and the formation of dogmatic systems as they relate to notions of truth. He is currently working on a series of collaborative photo-based and sculptural projects which deal with the fragility of the human species and subjective interpretations of both hope and loss.
Professor Baturin's research process is anchored in his collaborational work with international institutions as artist-in-residence. His residencies have included the Glasgow School of Art, Tallinn Art University, Athens School of Art, Banff Centre for the Arts and Tasmania School of Art.
Jon Baturin is a co-founder of Critical Media, an international not-for-profit organization with a mandate to promote and develop challenging international cultural projects in diverse media. Large international museum projects have been presented in major venues in Budapest, hungary; Lubjiana, Slovenia; Auckland, New Zealand; Hobart, Tasmania; and Sydney, Australia as well as several Canadian centres.
Professor Baturin has taught at the University of Saskatchewan, Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design, Ontario College of Art, Concordia University and the University of Lethbridge before joining the faculty in the Department of Visual Arts at York.
