Me Myself & I features 7 Artists based in Canada who utilize self-portraiture as a central component of their practices. The use of the artists’ own image has a significant place in art-history, with traditional forms of self-portraiture frequently being an important part of an artists’ central body of work, establishing a likeness of the artist for the historical record. Contemporary Artists have reinvigorated the self-portrait and are using it to explore ideas related to the expression of the self; both in terms of how society sees us as individuals and the ways that individuals can construct a self that can be adaptable, performative and change over time.
