Daniel Barrow
Barrow works in projection performance, installation, video, sculpture, printmaking and drawing to present cinematic narratives. Since 1993, he has adapted comic book narratives to "manual" forms of animation by projecting and manipulating drawings on overhead projectors. Barrow’s performances and installations aim to collide imagery from the cultural and digital past with emotional, usually melancholic, content; in doing so, he returns to a former or nostalgic experience of stimulus. All of his work expands upon dualistic, universal themes: good vs. evil, shame vs. pride, experience vs. innocence, and awareness of the present moment vs. an increasingly bleak, and rapidly advancing future.
Winnipeg-born, Montreal-based artist Daniel Barrow has exhibited widely in Canada and abroad. He has performed at The Walker Art Center (Minneapolis), PS1 Contemporary Art Center (New York), The Museum of Contemporary Art (LosAngeles), The International Film Festival Rotterdam, The Portland Institute for Contemporary Art’s TBA festival, and the British Film Institute’s London Film Festival.
Barrow is the winner of the 2010 Sobey Art Award – Canada's largest prize for young Canadian artists – and the 2013 Glenfiddich Artist-In-Residence Prize. His work is included in the collections of the National Gallery of Canada and the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia.
