The Western Front

Western Front is pleased to welcome Toronto-based artist Deirdre Logue, as Media Art artist-in-residence. Deirdre Logue’s film, video and installation work focuses on self-presentational discourse, the body as material, confessional autobiography and the passage of ‘real’ time. Logue’s work often take the form of collections of small performance, accumulated over many years, such as the widely exhibited works “Enlightened Nonsense” (2000) and “Why Always Instead of Just Sometimes” (2006). Since 2006, Logue has been working almost exclusively with short film and video created for multi-channel presentations.

During her time at Western Front Logue will be conducting research towards a new body of work. While still working primarily with performances for the camera, Logue will be researching expanded notions of image making and installation through experimental engagement with various technologies and materials.
