Note:

Tom Dean was born in Markdale, Ontario in 1947. He moved to Montreal in the late 1960s, to study visual art at Sir George Williams University (now Concordia University), and became a well-known figure in the city's alternative scene. He was a founding member of Véhicule Art Inc., a renowned and self-managed centre of avant-garde activity. Dean has produced works in several media, including text, video, digital art, sculpture and print. He is widely respected for his elaborate multidisciplinary performances, which often include dissonant associations of material. He was chosen to represent Canada at the Venice Biennial in 1999 and received the Governor General's Visual and Media Art Award in 2001. His works have been exhibited across North America and Europe and are included in several major museum collections, including the National Gallery of Canada, the Art Gallery of Ontario and the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.
