Bio:

Glenn Lewis is an artist and educator based in Vancouver, Canada, and a recipient of the Governor General’s Award in Visual and Media Arts. With an artistic background rooted in traditional pottery and sculpture, Lewis also employs photography, film, video and performance to question the dialect between conventional objects and art, social obligation and natural instinct, and function and wonder. His wide-ranging practice engages concept, fiction, myth, and community. A pivotal figure in Canadian contemporary art, Lewis was a co-founder of Western Front and an early member of Intermedia.
