Peter Horvath

1961–

Peter Horvath (b. 1961; Toronto, Canada) embraced digital technologies at the birth of the web, creating audio/video narratives through selective editing of film footage and the use of his early collages. His more recent work focuses on deconstructing and recontextualizing imagery through assemblage, drawing from personal and found materials. Horvath’s work is included in private and museum collections, including the McEvoy Family Collection and the Art Gallery of Hamilton, Canada. He is the recipient of commissions from Rhizome at the New Museum, New York in 2005, and Turbulence.org (1996–2016) in 2004. Horvath exhibits in museums and galleries around the world, including Galerie de Bellefeuille, Montreal and Toronto; and Clarendon Fine Art, London and Westport, Connecticut; the Rise Art Prize Exhibition, London (2018); and Stephen Bulger Gallery, Toronto; Museo Tamayo Arte Contemporáneo, Mexico City; the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec, Canada; and FILE Electronic Language International Festival, Brazil.
