Kathleen Ritter (born 1974)[1] is an artist, curator, and writer based in Vancouver and Paris[2] who focuses on contemporary art.

Career

Ritter graduated from the Emily Carr University of Art + Design with a BFA in 1998 and obtained an MFA from the University of Western Ontario in 2005.[3] In 2013, Ritter was an artist in residence at La Cité Internationale des Arts[2] in Paris and worked at the Vancouver Art Gallery as Associate Curator.[3] She was a visiting artist in residency at Open Studio, Toronto, in the spring of 2017.[4] Ritter also works as a part of the advisory council for Prefix ICA [5] At the Vancouver Art Gallery, Ritter curated shows including How Soon Is Now (2009)[6] and Beat Nation (2012).[7][8][9] Ritter has been featured in exhibitions including Transference (2018),[10] Camoufleurs (2018),[11] Some Spontaneous Particulars (2017 - 2018),[12] In Broad Daylight (2017),[13][14] and In Search of Expo 67 (2017).[15] Some have seen overlaps in Ritter's curatorial and artistic practices, as Saelan Twerdy identifies; "Along with the tendency of her works to point outside themselves at other bodies of information, this focus on ambiguity and opacity betrays Ritter’s curatorial sensibility. Even more than art practice itself, the discourse of curating has been saturated with a notion of aesthetic politics that enshrines ambiguity as a form of radicalism."[16]
