About

Sylvia Grace Borda (b. Vancouver, Canada)

Since 2002, Sylvia Grace Borda has realized several solo exhibitions for galleries in Europe and the Americas, and has participated in many group exhibitions. In 2004-2005, she won a Cities of Culture Millennium Award enabling the development and publication of a large photographic folio of 1000 images of Scotland’s First New Town, East Kilbride.

Recently, she was selected for the Zoo Art Sculptural Biennale (2012, Italy), where her installation CAMERA was presented following its Canadian premiere. She will next create a series of video vignettes examining landscape as part of a commission to launch the 2013 Surrey Art Gallery Urban Screen Programme.

Sylvia is an Associate Researcher with Emily Carr University of Art and Design (Canada) and the University of Stirling (Scotland), where she is focusing on new methods of photographic recording through aerial imaging technology. She is a graduate from the University of British Columbia Studio Arts Programme (MFA 2001)

Мои интересы

Since 2009 to present, Sylvia has worked full-time on the development of community engaged and public art projects. She was well regarded for developing FLORA WATCH (2010), a studio programme investigating local flora in Northern Ireland, which led to over 150 youth being trained to investigate and respond to the natural environment within the urban-scape. This program led to a national conference being hosted by Visual Arts Ireland discussing the long-term benefits of Sylvia’s work in community engagement and arts development.

Following this project, Sylvia led the proposal for the development of a large-scale camera obscura art-dwelling (2010-11) to be built as part of a national reconciliation program between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. This programme was part of a larger scheme Sylvia won through EU Peace III funds, which also included the delivery of a series of artist mentoring classes for artists in Counties Cavan, Monaghan, and Fermanagh.

Teaching and planning Conceptual strategy based art:

Sylvia Grace Borda is an artist and Research Associate at Emily Carr University of Art and Design, Vancouver. Sylvia studied both at the University of British Columbia (UBC 1991-1996; 1999-2001 MFA) and Emily Carr University of Art and Design (ECUAD 1993-95 BFA).Her ability to think laterally across media in regard to how conceptual strategies can be introduced into art, photography and installation were heavily influenced by her then tutors at UBC Jeff Wall, Ian Wallace and Ken Lum.

By delivering studio theory classes at UBC and ECUAD as a lecturer between 2001-2007, Sylvia gained first hand experience in further interpreting new approaches to how conceptual art could be adopted by younger artists in the development of their own practice. Between 2007-2009, Sylvia led the MA in interdisciplinary arts at Queen’s University Belfast, and taught her students how to be able to inscribe their artworks with both associative tiers of contextual and conceptual information. Work and a curatorial programme developed by Sylvia and her students went onto win as part of a submission through Queen’s University Belfast the Times Higher Award for Art and Innovation in 2008. This award would parallel a prize being offered by the General Governor’s for exceptional arts practice delivery in higher education.
