Interdisciplinary artist Michael Snow, known in Canada and internationally for his abstract painting, public sculptures and the experimental 1967 film “Wavelength,” has died.
The Toronto-born artist died Thursday, said Tamsen Greene, senior director of New York's Jack Shainman Gallery, which represented Snow. He was 94.
Snow experimented with various media throughout his artistic career, including film, paintings, sculptures, photography and music. Still, for many cinephiles, he may be known best for influencing the name of Wavelengths, the experimental film program at the Toronto International Film Festival.“Quietly, he demolished boundaries,” Bailey said in a statement focused on his contributions to film.
An exhibition of his work at the University of Toronto's Hart House led him to meet George Dunning, a Canadian film producer and director who would go on to make the Beatles' 1968 animated film “Yellow Submarine.” “My introduction to film came that way. I didn't have any particular interest in it and it came from being introduced to the mechanics of it, what it is frame by frame,” Snow said on the TIFF podcast.He would return north to present at the 1967 Montreal Expo a series of silhouette sculptures inspired by his Walking Woman figure, an ongoing series of projects he created throughout the 1960s.
“Wavelength” won the grand prize at the Knokke Experimental Film Festival that year, exposing Snow to new audiences and encouraging him to further explore making experimental films.In 1970, he was featured in a solo exhibition at the Venice Biennale and in 1974, he was a part of the Canadian Creative Music Collective, an improvisation group that founded Toronto's Music Gallery.
