Prof. Andrew Ackerman

Andrew Ackerman’s practice is situated in sculpture and extended media, employing a variety of material-based approaches ranging from modelling and casting to wood and metal fabrication. He also maintains a collaborative and interdisciplinary installation practice that explores spatial, tactile, visual, and embodied experiences.

Andrew has exhibited both nationally and internationally at venues such as the Alberta Craft Council (Edmonton, AB), the Santa Paula Museum of Fine Art (Santa Paula, CA), and the Czong Institute for Contemporary Art (Gimpo-Si, Gyeonnggi, South Korea). Recent collaborative installations include Keeping Time at Martha Street Studio (Winnipeg, MB), as well as Embodied Terrains and im•pulse, two site-specific works completed for the Ice Follies Biennial Exhibition of Contemporary and Community-Engaged Art (Shabogesic Beach, North Bay, ON).

Andrew is an Associate Professor in the Fine Arts/Visual Arts program at Nipissing University, where he teaches courses in sculpture, interdisciplinary studio practice, drawing, painting, and anatomy. He holds a BFA from York University and an MFA from the New York Academy of Art.
