ArtistBiography
Michael de Courcy (1944) studied at the École des Beaux Arts in Montréal and the Vancouver School of Art (now Emily Carr University of Art + Design). He has exhibited both nationally and internationally and is represented in many public and private collections, including those of the Vancouver Art Gallery and the National Gallery of Canada. He has lectured and given workshops at cultural institutions including the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, the University of British Columbia, and Emily Carr University of Art + Design. In the late 1960s, during his formative years as an artist, de Courcy was a core member of the Vancouver artists collective known as the Intermedia Society. Intermedia was an association of Vancouver artists who worked in a variety of media and collaborated on staged events to support a community that explored new models and formats. This experimental work included expanded film, correspondence art (where the postcard figured), and other innovations. Although Intermedia ceased to exist by 1972, its influence is felt widely in Canada and beyond.SFU Galleries, 2022
