Barbara Sternberg
Canadian artist Barbara Sternberg has been making experimental films and video tapes and installations since the mid-seventies. Though differing stylistically from her films, for which she is better known, her videos deal with similar large themes: how we perceive reality, how we situate ourselves as humans in the world, how we live with the knowledge of death. Sternberg’s videos have been shown in galleries such as Owens Art gallery, Sackville, N.B., at Pleasure Dome and Ontario Cinematheque in Toronto, and recently her work has been featured at Exis Festival in Seoul, S. Korea and WNDX Festival in Winnipeg. She was a founding member of two artist-run centres: Pleasure Dome, Toronto and Struts gallery in Sackville.
Sternberg’s website www.barbarasternberg.com has information on all her films and videos plus articles written by and about her. She lives and works in Toronto.
