Resonance is a new series of artists talks organized by the Photo and New Media and Sound Departments of Emily Carr University. The first session will feature the internationally renowned artist Evann Siebens who is based in Vancouver.
Evann Siebens (1971, Canada) makes media, performance and photos with movement. Her lens-based practice negotiates the human body as an archival site and the politics of the female gaze. A trained dancer, she danced with the National Ballet of Canada and the Bonn Ballett before studying film production at New York University.
Recent exhibitions and screenings include: WAAP (Vancouver, 2019), Belkin Gallery (Vancouver 2018), and Vancouver Art Gallery Exterior - Facade Fest (Vancouver 2017). Her documentary work previously screened at the Museum of Modern Art and was broadcast on PBS. Evann recently screened a film at Lincoln Center in New York City and won the ‘Outstanding Overall Work’ prize at the Light Moves Festival in Limerick, Ireland. Her work from ‘A Performance Affair’ in Brussels, Belgium was featured on the front page of the International New York Times in 2019. Evann will be performing at the Witte de With in Rotterdam in February 2020 as part of Moveable Types. She is represented by Wil Aballe Art Projects in Vancouver, Canada.
The talk will be organized by Birthe Piontek (PHOT) and Peter Bussigel (NMSA).
