Peter Buggenhout (°1963, Dendermonde) lives and works in Ghent. About fifteen years ago, he stopped painting and divested himself of the limitations of canvas. Since then, he has been creating installations made of abject materials. His work is detached from every form of representation. This approach makes his sculptures autonomous.
Buggenhout has exhibited at internationally renowned art platforms such as MoMA/PS1 (New York), the Taipei Biennial, Maison Rouge (Paris), Palais de Tokyo (Paris), Barbara Gladstone (New York), Frankfurter Kunstverein, Kunstverein Hannover, Art Unlimited Basel, De Pont Tilburg, Herzliya Biennial Israel, the Saatchi Gallery (London). In Belgium, his work has been featured at Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens Deurle, Be-Part Waregem, TRACK in Ghent, Bruges and De Centrale in Brussels. He is represented by gallery Konrad Fischer Düsseldorf-Berlin and Laurent Godin Paris.
