Tanya Mars, winner of a 2008 Governer General’s Award in Visual and Media Arts has been a key figure in Canadian art since she burst on the scne in 1974 with her first groundbreaking exhibition, Dodpieces: Phallic Paraphernalia. Provacative and political, Mars has relentlessly shown us that the way to the jugular is through the funny bone, creating a series of compelling “three-dimensional pictures” that have made her one of Canada’s most acclaimed and important performance artists. This anthology offers a comprehensive look at her career, including extensive photo documentation and a DVD featuring her site-specific work, Tyranny of Bliss (2004).
