Long Citation
Vera Frenkel is one of Canada's leading multidisciplinary artists and a new media pioneer, respected both here and abroad. Her installations, videotapes, performances and digital media projects address the forces at work in human migration, the learning and unlearning of cultural memory, and the ever-increasing bureaucratization of experience. Many of her artworks involve collaboration with other artists, both Canadian and international, their narrative contributions woven into projects in both real time and virtual space, exploring where culture and technology meet. Vera Frenkel is among those who have changed the way in which art is practiced in Canada and who have taken art into the larger community to show how our cultural assumptions are constructed.
