Angela Grauerholz

Angela Grauerholz is a German-born Canadian photographer, graphic designer and educator.She came to Canada in 1976 and, with the help of a grant from the Canada Council, completed a MFA degree in photography at Concordia University. During the 1980s, she operated a graphic design studio, working on magazines, catalogues and books. In 1988, she began teaching graphic design at the Université du Québec à Montréal; in 2008, she became director of the Centre of Design there. She was one of the founders of the Artexte Information Centre in 1980. She has digitized much of her own work as well as her personal archive of images from newspapers and other sources. Grauerholz also holds the title of Professor Emerita at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM). Her photographic work is distinguished by a hazy quality produced using long exposures and overlapping images. Her images of commonplace subjects take on a feeling of timelessness. Grauerholz continued to experiment, later incorporating the use of multiple images and sculpture into her installations. Grauerholz' later work explores themes of unconscious experience and the passage of time. Notable projects, including her series of 16 notable women in the Montreal arts scene shot between 1984 and 1985, often eschew classic formal photographic 'rules' in favour of stylized portraiture. Grauerholz tends to prefer a multi-image series format, as opposed to singular images.
