Curated by Dan Adler
Liz Magor’s Humidor (brown) 6/6, 2004 was on loan to the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal for the exhibition Liz Magor. Co-curated by MACM curator Lesley Johnstone and art historian Dan Adler, the exhibition ran from June 23 to September 5, 2016.
This exhibition promises a non-chronological survey of sculptural and installation works from one of Canada’s most important and intriguing conceptual artists of her generation. Highlighting a career that has spanned over forty years, this exhibition juxtaposes recent pieces with works from earlier in Magor’s career and draw attention to the thematic and emotional range of her practice. Liz Magor lives and works in Vancouver, BC. She was recently awarded the Gershon Iskowitz Prize (2014), and is the recipient of the Audain Prize for Lifetime Achievement (2009) and the Governor General’s Award in Visual and Media Arts (2001).
