Marla Hlady & Christof Migone
We each have long-standing individual artistic practices; we started to collaborate in 2015. Our joint projects combine our pre-existing solo concerns and recurring strategies into works that accent site and sound space. We have performed at Ftarri (Tokyo, Experimental Intermedia (NYC), Arraymusic and Electric Perfume (both in Toronto). We have installed our joint work at ArKO Museum (Seoul), Errant Bodies (Berlin), Glenfiddich Gallery (Scotland), Produit Rien (Montreal), and Christie Contemporary (Toronto).
Marla has an MFA from York University in Toronto and is tenured faculty at the University of Toronto. Christof has an MFA from NSCAD (Halifax) and a PhD in Performance Studies from NYU and is tenured faculty at the University of Western Ontario. Both have international careers, including exhibitions or events in Australia, Korea, Japan, the USA and in 15 European countries. Marla is in the collection of the Art Gallery of Ontario, the National Gallery of Canada, Museum London, Canada Council Art Bank, amongst others. She is represented by Christie Contemporary (Toronto) and has had over 30 solo exhibitions since 1991.
