Kim Tomczak is a multidisciplinary artist primarily known for his work in performance, photography, video and photo/text work. Since 1983, he has worked exclusively in collaboration with Lisa Steele. They have received numerous grants and awards including the Bell Canada prize for excellence in Video Art, a Toronto Arts Award and in 2005, a Governor General’s Award for lifetime achievement in Visual & Media Arts.
Major public art commissions awarded to the two include Love Squared, screened on the video board at Yonge & Dundas in Toronto and Watertable, a light and sound installation that marks the original shoreline of Lake Ontario.
Tomczak is a co-founder of Vtape, a Toronto media arts centre and teaches at the University of Toronto in the Department of Art.
Most recently, Steele + Tomczak have been exhibited in Instanbul at Akbank Sanat (Metamorphoz) and Sophia, Bulgaria at the Central Bath (Opening the Closed Shops). In February 2009, their 4-channel video installation work "Becoming…" was featured in the Berlin Film Festival, Forum Expanded. Fall 2009 exhibitions include: a major installation, Speak City, featured in TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival), photo-text works from 2003-9 The funniest thing... at Diaz Contemporary, Toronto, photo series from the 1970s at VMAC Gallery. A major survey of their photo and video work opened at the Wharf Centre d'art Contemporain de Basse-Normandie in January 2010. In June 2010, their video installation work is included in Empire of Dreams at MOCCA in Toronto.
