Camilla Singh | Artist Talk | Contemporary Art Society of Vancouver | May 21
The Contemporary Art Society of Vancouver is pleased to invite you to a lecture with artist/curator Camilla Singh.
Thursday May 21st | 7 pm | Emily Carr University
Born in England, Camilla Singh is a visual artist and curator, currently working in Toronto and exhibiting internationally. She was the Curator at the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art, (MOCCA) since 2002. She arrived at MOCCA with an intensive background of orchestrating contemporary art projects after receiving an M.F.A. from the Dutch Art Institute in the Netherlands. Her curatorial projects at MOCCA often featured live areas hosting performances, concerts and sites of change within the gallery exhibition space. In 2007, as curator of Toronto's Nuit Blanche (Zone 'C') she presented Supernatural City, consisting of ten major outdoor contemporary art installations viewed by 800,000 people over the course of 12 hours, from dusk to dawn.
Singh is an active member and co-founder of the New Remote art collective, a group of artists from Canada, the Netherlands and Serbia, who travel the world by invitation producing spontaneous, site-specific installations. New Remote projects employ simple communication technologies to connect with geographically remote collaborators. The outcome of these works is often charged with the politics, culture and social conventions of the sites in which they are produced.
She has worked in conceptual art, including audio, video, sculpture, photography, and performance. Her latest work is aesthetically seductive while interweaving hard pornographic images with images from the interiors of churches and cathedrals. Singh turned critics' heads with her work "Gentle Soothing Action," a multimedia installation which included a video of her showering.
