Jenny Lion works with film and video in cinematic, participatory, and gallery contexts. Originally trained as a dancer, she frequently collaborates, in groups and with individuals, and often over long periods of time. Her collective and individual video projects have screened widely and received funding from the Jerome and Bush Foundations and Canada Council for the Arts, and her curatorial work has exhibited in North America, Europe, and Asia. Her book on Canadian artists’ video was published by the University of Minnesota Press. She has been a resident at the Center for Land-Use Interpretation, and is currently collaborating with pioneering video artist Wendy Clarke and completing a body of cinematic and installation works shot in the U.S. West.
