Dr. Risa Horowitz is a visual and media artist and associate professor of visual arts (photo-based and extended media practices) at the University of Regina in Saskatchewan, Canada. She is currently Head of the Department of Visual Arts.
Her practice blurs boundaries between expert-amateur, hobby-work, and leisure-productivity, as she explores definitions and values of practice-based research. Much of her work has involved collecting and durational practices that pay attention to time and its representation.
Horowitz has lived and worked in seven Canadian provinces as an artist, educator, writer, and gallery programmer. Her work has been exhibited across Canada and abroad. She has received numerous visual and media arts grants and awards, and her works are held in the collections of Global Affairs Canada, the Saskatchewan Arts Board, the Canada Council Art Bank, and numerous private and corporate collections. She has taught photography, digital imaging, and critical issues for studio artists at York University and Grenfell College. At the University of Regina she teaches photo-based media and extended/conceptual practices at the undergraduate and graduate levels, as well as graduate level Visual Arts seminars and Interdisciplinary research-creation methodologies.
