Margaux Williamson was born in Pittsburgh and lives in Toronto. She has had solo painting exhibitions in Toronto, New York and Los Angeles and premiered her first movie project at the Toronto International Film Festival. A variation on that project, a feature length movie called Teenager Hamlet, will be distributed as a DVD in the fall of 2010. She has written about movies since 2010 on her blog, MOVIE IS MY FAVOURITE WORD, and has recently joined forces with the Globe and Mail’s Carl Wilson and Eye Weekly’s Chris Randle, to form a collective blog called Back To The World. She collaborates with other friends: as an art director and curator for a Toronto lecture series hosted by Misha Glouberman called Trampoline Hall, with the poet and musician Ryan Kamstra on music performances (the most recent Youtube video that she made for one of Ryan’s songs, dancing to the end of poverty was mentioned by the New York Times as a terrific thing to have seen on any screen), and with the writer Sheila Heti (they most recently founded The Production Front - a title that contains various projects and other artists. She is working on a painting series currently titled, “the world is down here”.
