Tune in for a live broadcast, where Lee Henderson will spin a chronology of military-themed punk, metal, and glam rock in conjunction with his exhibition An Abridged Sonic History of Global Conflict.
Lee Henderson is a contemporary artist whose practice includes video, photography, installation, sculpture, performance, and text. His work moves in constant contemplation of death, in senses grand and minute, somewhere between the persistence of collective histories and the brevity of individual lives. Henderson has studied art in Canada and Germany, holding a BFA from the Alberta College of Art and Design (2003) and an MFA from the University of Regina (2005). Recent and upcoming projects include the CONTACT Feature Exhibition To Step From Shadow Into the Warmth of the Sun at Gallery 44 Centre for Contemporary Photography (Toronto, 2018); A Hand That Points Aligns the Air at Open Studio (Toronto, 2017); and solo exhibitions at The Judith & Norman Alix Art Gallery (Sarnia, 2020), Gallery 101 (Ottawa, 2018), and Latitude 53 Contemporary Visual Culture (Edmonton, 2016). Henderson represented Canada as the 2017 Glenfiddich Artist in Residence, and is a winner of the Gattuso Prize for his 2016 CONTACT exhibition Never Letting Us Take Breath. He teaches photography and new media at two Toronto universities, OCAD and Ryerson.
