Ron Terada

Ron Terada lives and works in Vancouver where he is an alumnus from the Emily Carr University of Art and Design. His art practice is grounded in a text-based tradition of Conceptual art that interrogates the sign systems of art and everyday life, while approaching the realm of popular culture as an expanse of material, free for the taking and ripe with possibility. Terada's recent body of work TL; DR transposes current news headlines of the tech world onto canvas as a means to suspend the language of our digital age of distraction. Terada's solo exhibitions include the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; Hayward Gallery, London; and the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto, with group showings at the Kunsthalle Wien, Vienna; Kadist Art Foundation, Paris; and With de With, Rotterdam, to name a few. He is represented by Catriona Jeffries, Vancouver.
