"If democracy is to be a machine of hope, it must retain one strange characteristic - its wheels and cogs will need to be lubricated not with oil, but with sand." - Krzysztof Wodiczko
Rina Liddle is a visual artist, researcher and educator. At the core of her practice is the belief that art making is a polyvocal practice. Her work often takes the form of installations and interventions that deal with ideas regarding public space, and include digital media, photography, sculptural elements and collaborations. The material forms that she chooses are, for her, a means to renegotiate and make visible the conditions of the social body. Or something like that. do you know what I mean? Subtle traces of the absurd in sociological methodologies are discernable in her work.
Liddle has a BFA from Emily Carr University and a MA from Goldsmiths College University of London. She has shown internationally in London, Los Angeles, Posnan (Poland) and Jyvaskyla (Finland) and currently resides in Vancouver.
Rina Liddle is holding "Office Hours" on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 4pm - 10pm, for the duration of her project. Workshops will be held in specialized focus groups, for research purposes.
