Hazel Meyer is an artist who works with installation, performance, and text to investigate the relationships between sexuality, feminism, and material culture. Her work recovers the queer aesthetics, politics, and bodies often effaced within histories of infrastructure, athletics, and illness. Drawing on archival research, she designs immersive installations that bring various troublemakers—lesbians-feminists, gender outlaws, leather-dykes—into a performative space that centres desire, queerness, and sweat.
Recent activations of her work have taken place at La Ferme du Buisson (FR) 2019, Glasgow International Art Biennial (SCT) 2018, Dunlop Art Gallery (CA) 2020, Progress Festival (CA) 2020, The Bentway (CA) 2022, Porn Film Festival Berlin (DE) 2019, and Contemporary Copenhagen (DK) 2021. Hazel presently lives and works on the stolen and unceded territory of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations with their frequent collaborator and partner Cait McKinney.
Twilight Hour is a speaker series hosted by the Painting and Sculpture + Expanded Practices programs in the Audain Faculty of Art at Emily Carr University of Art + Design and organized by Elizabeth McIntosh and Emily Hermant.
