"Throughout his artistic career, the Canadian artist Michael Snow (1928–2023) was known for his innovative and experimental approach to art, working across the mediums of film, photography, painting, sculpture, and music. Born in Toronto, Snow received his artistic education at the Ontario College of Art, where he studied design while also developing his skills in painting and music. After completing his studies, he traveled to Europe and returned to Toronto in 1953, where he had his first solo exhibition. While working at Graphics Film at the time, Snow developed an interest in film and married artist and filmmaker Joyce Wieland. Snow and Wieland went to New York in the early 1960s, when he started working on the Walking Woman series, a long-term project in which he used various artistic mediums, including sculpture, photography, and performance, to explore the representation of a woman walking. That was also the time when Snow produced his now most-known experimental films, including Wavelength (1966–67), which became Snow’s signature work, and which I had a chance to watch for the first time at Anthology Film Archives in 2011."
