Dick Averns, Calgary 2012 AiR Program
Currently
maintaining a practice in Calgary and teaching at ACAD, Dick is actively
involved in exhibiting through public institutions, artist-run centres,
public art projects and via performative events. His interdisciplinary
approach invariably places the audience as a central component to works
that thematically engage with the commodification of space. www.averns.com
