2005 Recipient<\/span><\/span><\/p>

” Being involved with young artists (at Concordia)\u00a0at an early stage in their careers, I am impressed with the generosity, curiosity and understanding of\u00a0private donors who give their support through fellowships and acquisitions. “<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>

What are you currently doing?<\/span><\/span><\/p>

I teach at Concordia University in the Studio arts department, Photo program.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>I have been teaching since 1986 and am starting a 3-year gradual retirement, for 2019. I will never stop doing my artist work !<\/span><\/p>

My recent exhibitions in Montreal featured the work I did in Mumbai, India, during a 4-month residency. Titled\u00a0Near You<\/a>\u00a0No Cold<\/a>, the two parallel exhibitions included approximately 60 photographs and a 20 min. video.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

In 2013, I have put together a research group with emerging artists and grad students, called\u00a0Outre-Vie \/ Afterlife<\/a>. We meet regularly to exchange our research and our ideas. We explore the many lives of photographs : images have afterlives when they are reused, appropriated, re-contextualized, juxtaposed, etc; images contain, reproduce, evoke memory; they have their own life and generate fiction.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>Our group just had a show in VU, an artist-run centre in Quebec city.<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

What did receiving the\u00a0Paul deHueck and Norman Walford Career Achievement Award in Art\u00a0Photography\u00a0mean to you?<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

It was a great honor and a recognition. And it was such a happy surprise !\u00a0<\/span>I had just been working really hard on many projects when the good news arrived.<\/span>
\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>

What does private arts philanthropy mean to you as a working artist?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

I believe this was the first time that\u00a0I was granted such an award and it made me feel good about the work\u00a0I do.\u00a0 Being involved with young artists at an early stage in their careers,\u00a0I often meet with private donors who give us their support in the form of fellowships and acquisitions and I am always impressed with their generosity, curiosity, and understanding.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
