General Research Interests:

Patrick Mahon's work as an artist includes print-based projects that engage with historical and contemporary aspects of 'print culture' and involves responding to gallery and museum collections through artistic and curatorial gestures. Mahon also works as a writer and curator, focusing on issues relating to print culture, post-colonialism, and aesthetics. The SSHRC Research/Creation collaboration, "Art and Cold Cash" was launched at MOCCA in Toronto, Canada, and at the Greater Toronto Airport in 2006-07. Other A&CC exhibition venues include the Winnipeg Art Gallery in 2009. Patrick Mahon was in residence for three months at the International Studio and Curatorial Program in New York in 2007.
