Johanna Householder

Johanna Householder works at the intersection of popular and unpopular culture, making performance art, audio, video, film and choreography. Her interest in how ideas move through bodies has led her often collaborative practice. She has performed across Canada and at international venues for 40 years. One of the founders of the 7a*11d International Festival of Performance Art, she co-edited two books with Tanya Mars: Caught in the Act: an anthology of performance art by Canadian women (2004), and More Caught in the Act (2016). Her current work concerns the vexations of the anthropocene. She has taken refuge in T:Karonto on Treaty 13 territory.

    This project by Canadian artists Johanna Householder & Judith Price comprises seven intimate and diaristic video works created over Zoom during COVID-19 lockdowns, shot between Pacific and Eastern time zones. They are "an attempt to restore touch and peripheral vision to a world condensed into a 2880 x 1800 [pixel] slab of metals and electrons." This is a new installation of the project first shown in 2022 at the Dunlop Art Gallery.
