David Teeple

Teeple’s practice spans more than four decades and moves across photography, sculpture, installation, drawing, video, and sound. Throughout this body of work runs a sustained inquiry into perception, material presence, spatial experience, and the unstable relationship between observation and reality. His practice is shaped by direct engagement with physical and sensory phenomena, natural systems, structure, impermanence, and states of heightened attention, producing works that are at once rigorous, sensorial, and contemplative.

Project Stillpoint grows from this long trajectory, as a site for the realization of large scale works and a broader field of exchange around them. It brings together decades of disciplined research, experimentation, and making, in a permanent setting where installation, landscape, perception, and dialogue can unfold in relation to one another. Grounded in Teeple’s practice, the project establishes a framework within which artists, scientists, and other critical thinkers may engage through residencies, guest installations, conversations, and gatherings, contributing to an evolving field of work shaped by shared inquiry and direct experience.

Teeple has developed his work through an independent, research-based practice. His works have been collected by institutions including the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, the University Museum of Contemporary Art, UMass, the Springfield Museum of Fine Art, the ResMed Collection in Sydney, and the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation. Until now, working outside conventional gallery structures, he has sustained a long-term investigation into perception, material, and spatial experience, producing an extensive, and largely unseen body of work that has evolved through direct making, experimentation, and site-based installation.
