A discussion on the progression of Lisa Lipton's multi-disciplinary artist practice in association with her most recent project and experimental feature film - THE IMPOSSIBLE BLUE ROSE. From the perspective of a visual artist, drummer and director, Lisa will review the process of documenting a traveling story and international collaboration, creating through a fearless exploration within unknown territories and landscapes of people.

Maritime-born artist, Lisa Lipton (a.k.a. FRANKIE) is a multidisciplinary visual artist, musician and director who received her B.F.A. from NSCAD University and M.F.A. from the University of Windsor. Her installations exemplify a diversity of interest within the arts combining sculpture, video, costume, paint with performances that involve dance and music. Her projects explore the potential for crossing genres of film, mixed media installation, performance, theatre and music. Her visions are reflective of an interest in directorial and curatorial practices, collaboration and social interaction, as well as working within non-traditional contexts in order to explore the boundaries of performance and filmic production. She has currently completed a major tour throughout North America with her latest drumming project - BLAST BEATS: Phase Three, which will culminate in a multi-media exhibition and her first feature film – THE IMPOSSIBLE BLUE ROSE. The project will be released this October 1, 2016 at the Southern Alberta Art Gallery and in association with MS:T Performative Arts Festival. She has exhibited her work on both a national and international level, and recently served as the Shortlist representative for the Maritime Provinces within the Sobey Art Awards (2015), as well as Longlisted in 2016, 2013 & 2012.
