ARTIST BIO
Born and raised downtown Toronto, Vanessa Rieger graduated from OCADU in 2009
with a degree in Drawing and Painting. Combining her skills in fine art, wood working,
set design, analog video and performance, this helped her develop a multidisciplinary
art practice that gives her audience an immersed A/V experience. Some of her creative
inspirations include haunted houses, sci-fi movies, practical special effects, VHS and
cyber punk. Currently she works as a professional arts technician, gallery installer and
Teacher’s Assistant for Integrated Media at OCADU.
Rieger currently lives and works between Toronto and Picton Ontario, where she has a
woodshop and studio space.
Rieger is passionate about the arts community and studio practice. In 2009, she helped
found the board of directors at White House Studio Project located in Kensington
Market downtown Toronto and acted as Project Manager for 3 years. She sat on the
Board of Directors for Whippersnapper gallery in 2012. In 2013 she founded/initiated
the Artist Work Exchange Program at Artscape Gibraltar Point on Toronto Island.
Rieger was an active member of the Analog Preservation Network from 2013-14 and is
currently in a collaborative arts project with Brandon A. Dalmer called “Videomancy”
which specializes in live sculptural video projections.
