The artifice of many of her works reveals an interest in how certain images pass for the authentic in spite of their obvious fakeness. With a certain irony, she explores these notions of the real and the fake at the same time that she raises social concerns.
Since the early 1970s Liz Magor has produced numerous sculptural and photo- based works that have sensitively addressed issues of place and refuge, creation and transformation, production and reproduction, identity and the material yet fragile condition of the human body.
Liz Magor studied at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, from 1966-68, at the Parsons School of Design, New York, from 1968-70, and at the Vancouver School of Art from 1970-71. Since 1980 Magor has also held a number of teaching appointments at the Ontario College of Art and Design, University of Victoria, University of British Columbia, Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design, Banff Centre, Nova Scotia College of Art and Design and Mount Allison University.
Liz Magor lives and works in Vancouver, British Columbia.
