Bambitchell

Bambitchell is the artistic collaboration between Toronto-based artists Sharlene Bamboat and Alexis Mitchell. Working collaboratively since 2009, their research-based practice takes the form of performance, video and installation.

They often work with national archives, state documents, and historical narratives to rigorously, yet playfully disrupt systems and codes of power. Their work has been exhibited at festivals and galleries internationally — most recently in a solo exhibition at Mercer Union (Toronto), and in the international premiere of their film Bugs and Beasts Before the Law at the International Film Festival Rotterdam. They have an upcoming solo exhibition at the Henry Art Gallery in Seattle in Fall 2020.

Georgia Dickie was born in Toronto, where she now lives and works. She graduated with a B.F.A. from the Ontario College of Art and Design University. She makes sculptural work out of found objects, reassembling these materials into new arrangements, based on a logic of eschewing and rebalancing their assigned functions.

In February 2015, she was the Canada Council for the Arts artist-in-residence at Acme Studios in London, U.K. She has participated in solo and group exhibitions internationally, including Oakville Galleries (Toronto), Rolando Anselmi (Berlin), Jeffrey Stark (New York), Night Gallery (Los Angeles), Cooper Cole (Toronto), Springsteen Gallery (Baltimore), Art Museum of the University of Toronto, The Power Plant (Toronto), and the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art (Toronto).
