Artist Statement
Lisa Myers' art, writing and curatorial research interests include contemporary Indigenous art, the use of food in art practice, and how memories intersect with food experiences. Using food, video, super eight, photographs, sound, and writing as documentation sources, Myers delves into stories and experiments with ways to retell or re-construct narratives. Recently, Lisa used walking as a research method for video and installation works. In addition to being an independent curator and writer, Lisa Myers is an artist, musician and chef. These disciplines inform her various practices. Lisa has curated exhibitions including "You Are Here" (2010) at the Art Gallery of Ontario, and "past now" at the MacLaren Art Centre. Lisa has exhibited her work in a number of group exhibitions in venues including Onsite[at]OCAD (Toronto), Xpace (Toronto), MacLaren Art Centre (Barrie), and the McMichael Canadian Art Collection (Kleinberg). Lisa works between Port Severn and Toronto, Ontario.
