Guided By Voices is curated by Jason Schiedel and Paul Walde.

Artist Biography

Wyn Geleynse is a multimedia artist living and working in London, Ontario. Born in Rotterdam, Netherlands in 1947, Gelynse moved to Canada as a child and was raised in London, Ontario. Since 1969, he has exhibited extensively both in Canada and Europe.

Considered one of Canada’s pioneer film and video projection artists, Gelynse’s career spans a period of nearly 40 years. His work raises questions about self and identity, commenting on the human condition with a subtle blend of irony and humanity. Interested in the notion of film projection as a metaphor for projecting one’s thoughts and desires, Geleynse worked primarily with installation-based projections in the past. More recently, he has focused on DVD projection works such as Gordijin, 2003/2004, a single channel DVD video projection.
