About

Vida Simon is a visual artist who has presented her work in a wide range of contexts – galleries, performance festivals, residencies, and site-responsive projects in public and private spaces. Her work has been shown across Canada, as well as in the US, Mexico, Italy, Finland, and most recently in Estonia. Vida’s installation/performance work combines various forms including drawing, writing, hand-crafted objects, sound, and movement. While her work is visually-based, she tries to create situations that undo representation, through integrating the spectator’s participation, obscuring visibility, or revealing processes that are normally kept “behind the scenes.” Drawing live often plays a central role in her performances. Vida lives in Montreal.
