Sabine Bitter

Vancouver-based artist Sabine Bitter teaches visual art at the School for the Contemporary Arts at Simon Fraser University, and she collaborates with Vienna-based artist Helmut Weber on projects addressing cities, architecture, and the politics of representation and of space. Mainly working in the media of photography and spatial installations their research-oriented practice engages with specific moments and logics of the global-urban change as they take shape in neighborhoods, architecture, and everyday life. Dealing with architecture as a frame for spatial meaning, their ongoing research includes projects like “Educational Modernism” and “Housing the Social”. In 2004, Sabine Bitter, Jeff Derksen and Helmut Weber have formed the urban research collective Urban Subjects. Recently Urban Subjects curated the exhibition “If Time Is Still Alive” with Camera Austria, Graz, and participated in the city laboratory project of Forum Freies Theater Düsseldorf “Place Internationale, The 73 Days of the Commune.”
