Chris
Binkowski,
widely known
as Bucko, is a
celebrated
artist,
writer,
composer,
performer and
activist who
defies
convention and
constantly
reshapes the
artistic
landscape in
Ottawa and
beyond. This
immersive
exhibition
highlights his
multifaceted
career,
showcasing
acrylic and
digital
paintings,
video art,
soundscapes,
music and
costumes,
alongside his
collaborative
works.
Performing
under the
moniker Bucko
Art Machine,
he has
made his mark
as a
songwriter and
musician and
has
collaborated
with many
influential
artists over
the years,
including
Marisa
Gallemit,
Shania
Leblanc, VJ
Cinetik, Eliza
Niemi and Nick
Schofield, with
public
performances
at venues and
events such
as Tangled
Art
+ Disability,
the Art
Gallery of
Guelph, Pique,
SAW and
the Digital
Arts Resource
Centre. With
an insatiable
drive for
innovation,
Bucko
continually
discovers new
ways to engage
with
audiences,
sharing his
creative
vision across
a wide range
of media.
Bucko’s
multidisciplinary
works
communicate
profound
emotions,
personal
narratives and
universal
themes of
resilience,
struggle and
joy. Through
his practice,
Bucko bridges
the gap
between
disability and
boundless
artistic
expression,
offering
viewers a
transformative
and deeply
moving
experience.
While he may
not identify
as a poet,
titles of
works such
as every
day i spin
around the
joys and get
squeezed like
toothpaste by
all the
troubles and
shocks that
come by
between or the
thrill and
glamour all
stopped with
the beat
disappearing stand
out as
poignant and
beautifully
crafted
elegies in
their own
right.
Living
with Duchenne
muscular
dystrophy,
Bucko explores
inventive ways
to create art
and music
despite
limited
mobility,
utilizing
digital
technologies
and adaptive
instruments to
bring his
vibrant ideas
to life. One
of the main
challenges of
living with a
disability is
facing
exclusion and
isolation. Bucko’s
art practice
has always
been motivated
by the need to
communicate on
a personal
level and to
access
community.
In
addition to
his artistic
achievements,
Bucko has
demonstrated
exceptional
commitment to
community
engagement and
accessibility
advocacy. He
served as a
lead
coordinator
for StopGap
Ottawa, an
organization
that builds
custom ramps
for local
businesses and
cultural
institutions,
improving
accessibility
for people
with mobility
challenges.
Bucko also
co-founded the
Accessibility
Team for
Ottawa’s
Bluesfest and
CityFolk music
festivals,
where he
continues to
provide
consultation,
fostering
inclusivity in
the local
cultural
scene. His
advocacy work
extends to
his past role
on the Board
of Directors
for BEING
Studio in
Ottawa, a
creative space
for artists
with
disabilities.
He was also a
keynote
speaker at
BEING’s Artist
Connect
symposium,
where he
shared his
insights on
disability arts
and community
building. His
work
celebrates
resilience,
creativity and
the power of
collaboration,
making him an
important voice
in both the
art world and
the
accessibility
movement.
