Brit Bunkley (born 1955 in New York City) is a New Zealand/U.S. artist whose art practice includes sculpture, installation, public art and video, since the 1990s with an emphasis on 3D digital media. Awards include the National Endowment for the Arts, the CAPS grant, and the Rome Prize Fellowship. His work expresses a keen interest in history, politics and the environment.

Matthew Crookes wrote for the Creative New Zealand funded arts agency, Circuit[1] that “Bunkley’s practice throws up many contradictions: the emphasis on the surface, yet the references are to things and ideas outside the work itself. Pessimism mixed with dry humour. The maker of monuments now deconstructing them. Bunkley has taken the ‘unspoken power’ of monuments and unpacked it, and laid it bare.”[2]

Early life and education

Brit Bunkley was born in New York City. He attended Macalester College and Minneapolis College of Art and Design 1973-1979. He received an MFA from Hunter College in New York in 1984. He immigrated from New York City to New Zealand in 1995 to take up a teaching position as head of sculpture at the Quay School of the Arts Whanganui. He became a New Zealand citizen in 1998.

Public sculptures

His early career in the U.S.A. included a number of permanent public art commissions including Gate Mask in New York City of which Michael Brenson wrote in the New York Times:[3] “Rubbing together a new suburban façade that seems to be rising and an old façade that seems to be sinking into the ground creates sparks with social and political colorations.” The sculpture was moved from Manhattan to the Islip Art Museum. Islip, NY in 1984.[4] Other works included a sculpture commission at City College, NYC, a New York M.T.A. Arts for Transit Commission,[5] Long Island Railroad, Bay Shore Station, Bay Shore, N.Y.[6] and the front entrance of the Minnesota History Center,[7] St. Paul, Minnesota both completed in 1992. In 2012 he completed the commission, Hear My Train a’ Comin’ [8] in Whanganui, NZ. He has recently completed a number of temporary public art projects with Andrea Gardner including Peaceable Kingdom Whanganui in Whanganui, New Zealand, 2020.[9]

Digital and video art

Bunkley began making experimental digital and video art in the 1990s as a response to his new place of residence in NZ. In a 2003 interview, he said “Because of my relative isolation from sources of commissioned work, I jumped head first into the 3D digital realm which has proven not only a technical challenge but opened up creative possibilities that I never knew existed.”[10] His first solo exhibition of 3D digital art, Monuments and Icons, was at the Sarjeant Gallery in Wanganui, New Zealand in 1998.

Bunkley organized and participated in the digital sculpture exhibition at Wellington's Adam Art Gallery, Intersculpt 2001[11] He exhibited video 3D animations at Te Papa (the Museum of NZ), Wellington, NZ for the 2002 exhibition st@rt up : new interactive media and animation. In 2002 he was invited as an artist-in-residence ("working artist") for SIGGRAPH: 2002's art gallery in San Antonio, Texas. He exhibited digital 3D video as part of Ciberart-Bilbao 2004 in Bilbao, Spain. Bunkley, along with Ian Gwilt, organized and exhibited in the 3D digital sculpture and 3D animation exhibition, MadeKnown at the UTS Gallery in Sydney Australia in 2005.[12]

Art critic Mark Amery, in a 2013 Circuit Podcast, said that Bunkley's “video work is in more film and video festivals around the world, be it Moscow or Oslo, than any other New Zealand artist that Circuit can think of.”[13] Bunkley has screened and exhibited his video artwork at numerous exhibitions and festivals including:
