(2004), and the 2003 Clemenger Contemporary Art Award, National 
Gallery of Victoria. Solo exhibitions include Derek Kreckler: 
Downstairs Performance Space, Sydney (2005); The looking and other 
outcomes Anna Schwartz Gallery, Melbourne (2003); and Blind Ned 
Australian Centre for Contemporary Art, Melbourne (2001). He has 
exhibited internationally in Kwangju, MumbaI, New York and London.
Kreckler was awarded a prestigious twelve month residency at the 
Institute of Contemporary Arts in New York (PS1) and was a 
participant in the Fire and Life project between India and Australia. 
His work for radio, Yurabirong, commissioned by The Listening Room, 
ABC Radio National, has been broadcast many times. In 2000 Kreckler 
was awarded an Australia Council New Media Arts Fellowship. His work 
features in the collections of the Mitchell Research Library, Sydney, 
The Wesfarmers Collection, Art Bank and numerous private collections.
