Art For Lunch: Rae Staseson

Rae Staseson is an intermedia artist, working in a variety of electronic, digital and live forms. Her videos have been exhibited at such prestigious venues as the Walker Art Center (Minneapolis), Museum of Contemporary Art (Los Angeles), Carillo Gil Museum (Mexico City), Goethe Institute (Montreal) and the National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa), and the Fruitmarket Gallery in Edinburgh, Scotland. Her work has also been screened in museums and galleries in the United Kingdom, France, Taiwan, Hungary, Argentina and Venezuela.
Rae Staseson is an Associate Professor in the Department of Communication Studies at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada where she teaches video practice/theory, visual culture, and media studies courses in both the undergraduate and graduate programs.


For Art For Lunch, Rae Staseson talked about The Laurie Project, a performance documentary that examines how the process of learning and the role of mimicry can be used as research tools to investigate performance art and its intersection with popular culture. I found her work funny and she was full of enthusiasm which seemed to resonate through the room.
