Robyn Moody currently lives and works in Calgary, Alberta, where he is a sessional instructor in the department of Media Arts and Digital Technology at the Alberta College of Art and Design.  Born in Lethbridge, Alberta, Moody received a BFA in Fine Arts from the University of Lethbridge in 2000, and an MFA from NSCAD University in 2006. He takes a whimsical and multifaceted approach to artmaking, incorporating electronics, mechanics, film, performance, installation, sculpture, or whatever a project requires, including inventing techniques and tools for a work's construction.

 

In the past decade, Moody has shown his work regularly across Canada and in Europe, including group exhibitions at Kling and Bang (Reykjavik), Southern Alberta Art Gallery (Lethbridge), and La Fabbrica del Vapore (Milan); collaborative exhibitions at the Robert McLaughlin gallery (Oshawa) and mediamatic (Amsterdam); and solo exhibitions at PM galerie (Berlin) and Articule (Montréal). Earlier this year he was nominated for the Sobey Art Award.  Upcoming exhibitions include the Kitchener Waterloo art gallery (Kitchener), the Tom Thomson gallery (Owen Sound) and the Hardanger Kunst Senter (Ålvik, Norway).
