A recent graduate of OCADUs Criticism and Curatorial Practice BFA program, Sagan MacIsaac is poised more than most for life beyond the borders of post-secondary education. Her thesis project, Inside/Outside Art School, questions the teaching methods of art school and suggests a more experiential and self directed mandate. MacIsaac recommends continuing education through dialogue with inspirational and like-minded people, tearing down the traditional teacher/student dynamic and allowing for a reciprocal flow of information.
Having spent the last few years interning with other artists and facilitating their projects, Sagan is taking some time to focus on her own ideas and directions. Along with a collaborative project with Margaux Williamson called Make Red Productions, which will continue with the ideas explored in her thesis, she is working on abstract watercolour painting and developing her feminist all-girl band "Pleather." Having worked alongside Sagan, I am confident that with her big ideas, paired with a rooted sensibility, she'll realize all her ambitions.
Sagan will be speaking on Monday, November 5 as part of the upcoming Trampoline Hall lecture series.
