Stephanie Loveless is a Montreal-born artist who works with sound, video, film and voice. She makes soft-speakers out of paper cups, performance prescriptions for audience-identified ailments, and performance pieces that attempt to channel the voices of plants, animals and musical divas.
In her work, she explores intimacy and the yearning to communicate across differences. She is also profoundly inspired by social sculpture -- from small interpersonal actions to large-scale urban re-imaginings. Her sound, video and performance work has been presented widely in festivals, galleries, museums and artist-run centers in North America, South America, Europe and the Middle East. She has received grants from the Canada Council for the Arts, the British Columbia Arts Council and el Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico; awards from Kodak, the International Festival of Cinema and Technology, and the Malcolm S. Morse Foundation; and has completed residencies at el Centro Mexicano para la Musica y las Artes Sonoras (Morelia, Mexico) and the Coleman Center for the Arts (York, Alabama). She currently lives and works in both Montreal, Quebec, and Brooklyn, NY.
