Prairie North Creative Residency is pleased to announce the facilitators for our upcoming residency in June of 2009: Adrian Stimson and Monica Tap.
Adrian Stimson
Adrian A. Stimson is a member of the Siksika (Blackfoot) Nation in southern Alberta. After obtaining a BFA with distinction from the Alberta College of Art & Design, he moved to Saskatoon, where he completed his MFA at the University of Saskatchewan. He is an interdisciplinary artist whose research has included identity, metaphysics, two spirit people, ecology, spirit and healing modalities within artists’ practice.
Monica Tap
Monica Tap is an artist whose many activities involve exploring questions of time and representation in painting. Her practice opens up a space between landscape and abstraction, and navigates the terrain between painting and other media. Her current work is based on Quicktime videos of the landscape captured from buses, cars and trains. Over the past ten years her canvases, which are conceptual and systematic investigations into the codes of pictorial illusionism and perception, have been exhibited in Canada; New York and London, England.
