about

Sam Hamilton is an award winning inter-disciplinary artist from K’rd, Aotearoa New Zealand currently living in the US.

Over the last decade and a half, Hamilton has worked substantially across, and through, a range of mediums and critical concerns that have converged to form a highly modular and hybridized practice that incorporates film and video, photography, sound, composition and music, writing, performance, installation and sculpture.
He has worked and collaborated on projects as broad as composing for the Lemi Ponifasio / MAU Dance Company to researching bio-acoustics and relational art in the Amazon jungles of Brazil, Peru and Colombia; from working inside active island volcanoes to an abandoned high school in central Athens; from performing in the Australian Outback Desert to Manhattan contemporary art spaces; from developing commissioned works for sculpture parks to creating photo series, pop records, situationist sound walks, video installations, several short experimental film works and a recent feature length art film shot on 16mm film in the South Pacific ocean.

He is the recipient of the Art Foundations New Generation Artist Award; multiple grants from CNZ, Wallace Arts Trust, CIRCUIT, Creative Communities and SOUNZ; The Starving Artist Award, several artist residencies in the Netherlands, Brazil, Berlin, the US and Greece.

Musically he has worked with a range of artists including but not limited to Tall Dwarfs, Phil Dadson, Dean Roberts & Chris O'Connor as The Absolutionists, Mark Sadgrove a.k.a. mhfs as City Peoples Farmers Music , Jan Anderzen of Tomutonttu, Andrew Scott of Metal Rouge, New Gum Sarn and History of Snakes. He has produced a range of works including 2x LP's, 7" and 8" records, CD's, limited edition CDr's on his own inprint Tumblingstrain and other NZ and Japanese experimental music labels.
