Andreas Rutkauskas was born in Winnipeg, Canada in 1980. He currently resides in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia. His projects involve photography and video, often focusing on landscapes that have undergone changes due to a range of technologies; examples include surveillance along the Canada/U.S. border, cycles of industrialization & deindustrialization in Canada’s oil patch, and most recently, the aftermath and regeneration following wildfires in Western Canada.
Rutkauskas is the inaugural recipient of a residency with the Fondation Grantham pour l’art et l’environnement, which is forthcoming in December, 2020. In 2018, he was a Research Fellow with the Canadian Photography Institute, and he was a finalist for the Gabriele Basilico International Prize in Architecture and Landscape in 2016. His work has been exhibited in artist-run centres, public art galleries and museums across Canada, as well as internationally.
