Michael Snow is a national cultural treasure. No other living Canadian artist has made as profound a contribution to international visual culture and Canadian artistic identity. Since the fifties, he has worked with objects, images and sound separately and together. His discussion at the Dasha Shenkman Lecture in Contemporary Art will focus on their identities.
The annual Shenkman Lecture was established in 2007 and is made possible through the support of Dasha Shenkman (OBE), a Canadian art collector and philanthropist who lives in the United Kingdom.
Please also plan to join us for the MFA open studios before and after the lecture:
3–5pm and 7:30–9pm
Blackwood Hall, Firehall, & Alexander Hall
University of Guelph, Guelph, Ontario
The MFA students in the School of Fine Art and Music at the University of Guelph are pleased to welcome the public to their annual open studios, offering a rare inside look at the development of new work within the hothouse environment of an art program and a chance to chat with artists about their work in progress.
