Andrew Forster
Andrew Forster lives and works in Montreal. His work crosses over between installation, performance, dance, new-media and projects for public space. He studied visual art at York University, Toronto, NSCAD, Halifax, and the Jan Van Eyck Academie, Maastricht, the Netherlands. Early work consisting predominantly of forgeries and deliberate biographical falsifications was encapsulated in an exhibition entitled Museum Stories at the Power Plant, Toronto. Recent work includes: a production of Samuel Beckett's That Time (with Michael Fernandes); the winning design in a competition for a new entrance to Place des Arts, Montreal (with architects Atelier Big City); a performance for 75 people entitled En masse, (with choreographer Suzanne Miller); and Cinéma, an outdoor multi-media performance for an audience seated indoors at the Société des arts technologiques, Montréal. His critical writing about performance, photography and visual art has appeared in several publications and catalogues (see 'publications'). In 2003 Forster established the production company Push [Montréal] as an umbrella for collaborative and cross-disciplinary work. Since 2005 he has taught in the Department of Design and Computation Arts at Concordia University, Montreal. [click 'Andrew Forster' again for CV]
