Representing a fifteen-year period of artistic production that ranges from kinetic sculpture to video installation to text-based artworks, this segment of the survey features two significant large installati</span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">ons (<em>solving man ray’s obstruction</em> and <em>the floor’s the limit</em>) alongside several new works created specifically for the exhibition (<em>nudging marcel</em> and <em>salt, sugar, sweet, sour</em>). While many of her recent works draw heavily on the influence of 20th century masters, including Man Ray, Marcel Duchamp and Pablo Picasso, they question the orthodoxy of the Modernist hierarchy by using appropriation, movement and wordplay to challenge our perceptions of gender and meaning. Andison’s work engages the body and mind equally through her complex engineering of elegant minimalist constructions.</span><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9px;"><br style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 9px;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Lois Andison</strong> is a Canadian artist who has exhibited nationally and internationally in Toronto, Montréal, Lethbridge, Mexico City, Boston, Buffalo and New York.
