Biography

Shepherd Steiner is an Associate Professor at the University of Manitoba's School of Art, specializing in literary theory and philosophical aesthetics. His research focuses on the intersection of practice and theory in contemporary art, particularly the ways to interpret the dynamics encountered at the micro level of artwork, which mediate larger political issues. A key area of his investigation involves projection and the ways in which we inhabit and engage with works of art and literary texts. Some of his notable publications include 'Rodney Graham: Phonokinetoscope,' and he has co-edited works such as 'New Criticism: Formalist Literary Theory in America' and 'Cork Caucus: Art, Possibility, Democracy.' His ongoing project includes research on contemporary photographic practices, contributing significantly to the discourse surrounding modernism and contemporary art.
