City of Toronto All Events http://ift.tt/1xtRQyE Suzy Lake has been examining and critiquing ideals of the body, gender and identity since the late 1960s. In her photographs, videos and performances, Lake draws attention to social norms and constraints and aims to diminish the barrier between the viewer and the artwork. Introducing Suzy Lake follows the artist in images from age six to 66, as her political ideals are forged in Detroit's civil rights movement in the late 1960s; as she realizes her first successes in Montreal's artist-led cultural boom of the 1970s, the post-Expo 67, post-Duplessis era; and her years in Toronto since 1978, as she finds her home and hones her artistic vision.
