Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Vazan, Bill : Canadian artist Bill Vazan was born in Toronto, Ontario in 1933, and has been active as an artist for over 5 decades. He is a multidisciplinary conceptual artist who has been seminal in the field of land art in Canada. Vazan studied at the Danforth Technical School, the Ontario College of Art, and the École des beaux-arts in Paris. He received a fine arts degree from Sir George Williams University (now Concordia University) in Montreal in 1970. He has lived and worked in Montreal since 1957, where he has exhibited, taught, and helped establish artist-run galleries. He has exhibited nationally and internationally since the late 1960s. In 2010 he received the Paul-Émile-Borduas prize for art and design from the province of Quebec. In works that challenge our perceptions of space and time, Vazan explores the relationship between humankind and the cosmos. His works include stone sculptures, site-specific land art installations, videos, and photo-montages of cultural and historical sites around the world.
