Collection: April Hickox
April Hickox is a Canadian lens-based artist, teacher and independent curator who lives on the Toronto Islands. Over the course of 37 years, April has mined the distinctions between personal and public sites through film, video, photography and installation. Her work with objects and the still life is rooted in narrative histories that individuals accumulate throughout their lives and the ability of inanimate objects to shape memory.
April is the Founding Director of Gallery 44 Centre for Contemporary Photography, a founding member of Tenth Muse Studio, and Artscape Toronto. For the past seven years, she has been a member of the curatorial board of Art With Heart, Casey House. Currently, April is an Associate Professor of Photography at the Ontario College of Art and Design University in Toronto. Her notable recent exhibitions include Harbourfront Centre, Winnipeg Art Gallery, MacLaren ArtCentre, Oakville Galleries, Tom Thompson Memorial Art Gallery and the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography.
