Robert Duchesnay is a multimedia artist educated in Montreal and London, England. He is mostly known for his documentary artwork concentrating on Buckminster Fuller’s architectural legacy and was instrumental in saving two outstanding Fuller structures: the Montreal Expo 67 geodesic dome and the Dymaxion Dwelling Machine (circa 1946) in Wichita, Kansas. Robert, is also known for his unique and compelling photo documentation, done in 1984, of the Joseph Beuys classroom/studio at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf. In addition to these documentary art works he also produced and exhibited a series of photographs in the 1990’s titled: Rituals of the Anti-Social referencing a theatre of the absurd, a humorous and often cynical look at society and it’s failed attempts at meaningful communication. In 2013, the artist exhibits a photo series titled The Vienna Cult 48. Two years in the making, this series of images is closely based on the film noir classic ‘The Third Man’, it is nothing less than the reimagination and the reenactement of this iconic film noir, photographed on location in Vienna and at selected locations in Montreal that emulated as closely as possible the scenes of war time devastation. Currently Duchesnay is working on a documentary project dedicated to the rediscovery in 1990–92, of Buckminster Fuller’s first landmark building prototype: the Dymaxion Dwelling Machine. Robert Duchesnay is the recipient of project and travel grants from the Canada Council for the Arts. His artwork has been exhibited in the United States, Canada and Europe and his photographs can be found both in private and public (museum) collections in North America and Europe. His photographs have also been published in a variety of cultural and academic essays.
