Cultural Events - February to June 2010 - University of Ulster

Tanya Mars has been active in the Canadian alternative
art scene since the early 1970s. Her dramatic, humorous
and satirical works – ranging from performance through to
sculpture and video – have influenced an entire generation
of artists over some 30 years. She is a member of the
curatorial collective that organizes Toronto’s International
7a*11d Festival of Performance Art. She helped found
Powerhouse in Montreal in 1973, one of the first feminist
art collectives in Canada. She edited Parallelogramme from
1976 to 1989 and co-edited (with Johanna Householder)
the definitive Caught in the Act: An Anthology of
Performance Art by Canadian Women (2005). She has
taught and given workshops at the Nova Scotia College
of Art and Design (NSCAD University) and currently
teaches at the University of Toronto Scarborough.
