Fawn Daphne Plessner produces visual and text based artwork and public art interventions that draw on investigative journalistic strategies and techniques. Her artwork explores the aesthetics of a number of interweaving themes such as notions of 'ownership' (of land) and the aesthetic/affective dimension of (un)treatied relationships, the politics of 'rural/urban' imaginaries, migration and mobility and political membership (kinship) extending to non-Human beings.
She studied painting at Emily Carr, UBC (Art History) and the Akademie der Bildenden Kunste, Munich, Germany (under the artist Robin Page, an early member of the Fluxus movement). She holds a BA (Hons) Philosophy, Birkbeck College, University of London (UK) and a PhD in Art + Politics, Goldsmiths College, University of London, (UK). Her Doctoral research assesses the phenomena of 'citizen art' as a new field of art practice, with a focus on how artists perform new modes of (non-statist) citizenship through 'acts of citizenship' (Isin).
She has won a number of research grants (UAL Research Grants (UK); Arts & Humanities Research Board (UK); Canada Council for the Arts et al.). From the 1990s to 2008, her work focused on painting, with solo and group exhibitions held in private galleries and museums throughout the UK and Europe (paintings exhibited at The Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool; Chester Beatty, Dublin; Staatliches Museum, Regensburg; Aberystwyth Arts Centre et al.; artist publications: Whitechapel Gallery, London; MOMA, NY, et al.). Her work is also in a number of private collections in the UK, Ireland and Germany. Current collaborative art and research projects are 'Clouded Title' (with Emily Artinian, Street/Road Artists Space, Pennsylvania, USA) and 'The Aesthetics of Trees, Fish and Deer' (with Doug LaFortune, Tsawout First Nation).
