The Work of a Bridge Maker

Location: Ryerson University, Image Arts Building, 122 Bond Street, Room IMA 307

In conjunction with her major video exhibition Moving to Stand Still organized by the Koffler Gallery, Israeli artist Sigalit Landau speaks about her artistic practice that spans a diverse range of media, including drawing, sculpture, video, performance, and installation.

Sometimes creating immersive environments, her complex works address social, humanitarian and ecological issues, exploring topics such as homelessness, exile, and the relationships between victim and victimizer, between decay and growth. Landau’s process is ultimately that of a bridge maker, looking to connect the past with the future, the west with the east, the private with the collective, the mundane object to the epic narratives.
