Kathleen Ritter is a Canadian artist based in Vancouver and Paris. Her works takes an investigative approach to specific histories, institutions, and constructs of power, gender, language and technology. Through a process of resuscitation and recontextualization of archival images, recorded media, and
text, she draws connections between disparate fields, uncovering material from the past as a potential cipher for the present. She was a resident at La Cité Internationale des Arts, Paris, in 2014. Exhibitions have taken place at Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal; Open Studio and G Gallery, Toronto; and Battat Contemporary, Montréal. Her writing on contemporary art has appeared in ESSE, Prefix Photo, Fillip and The Brooklyn Rail as well as in numerous catalogues.
