Gary Hulton is an artist and architect using photography, environmental art and architecture as means to negotiate the context of human life in a particular place and time—our time, the present—from which echoes of the past and murmurs of the future may be encountered.

Gary studied photography, sculpture and installation with Siah Armajani at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, receiving his BFA in 1978. He received his Masters of Architecture degree in 1989 from the Southern California Institute of Architecture in Los Angeles (SCI-Arc). While in Los Angeles, Gary worked for two years in the office of Frank Gehry. He received an A.I.A. Honor Award for the design of the Brown House, in Afton, Minnesota. In 1992, he moved to Paris on a residency in sculpture, which he received from the American Center in Paris.

While in Paris, he became the director of the Zabriskie Gallery, worked as an independent photography curator and consultant, and created the Vue-Points Photography Workshop, which is an educational outreach program of the Foundation for the Exhibition of Photography, a non-profit organization based in Paris and Minneapolis (www.fep-paris.org).

Working simultaneously in photography, sculpture and architecture, Gary’s  work has been shown by institutions such as the Whitney Museum of American Art, in New York, the Musée des Beaux Arts in Calais and at the Maison de la Villette in Paris. He has completed a number of large, international projects in France, Eastern Europe, Asia and the US. Gary has also maintained an active teaching career at institutions such as Otis School of Art and Design in Los Angeles, The Chautauqua Institution in New York, and the Ecole Supérieure d’Architecture de Casablanca in Morocco.

He lives and works in France, Argentina and the US.
