Collection: Lou Sheppard

Lou Sheppard’s work is responsive, investigating the material and discursive contexts of a site and their affect on bodies and environments. His research is evidenced through graphic notations, scripts and scores which are then performed in collaboration with other artists and in community gatherings. He has participated in numerous residencies, including the International Studio Curatorial Program, La Cité des Arts, and as faculty at The Banff Centre. Lou’s work has been included in the Toronto Biennial and the Antarctic Biennial and he is currently completing a public art commission for the Broadway Subway Project in Vancouver. Lou has had solo exhibitions at the Art Gallery of York University (ON), Saint Mary’s University Art Gallery (NS), Access Gallery (BC), Diagonale Centre for Arts and Fibres (PQ) and has participated in dual and group exhibitions at Dalhousie University (NS), Simon Fraser University (BC) and Titanik Gallery (Finland) among others. Lou is a settler on the traditional and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq in Mi’kma’ki/Nova Scotia.
