Christine Swintak (AKA SWINTAK)

SWINTAK is a multidisciplinary artist and educator. Her large-scale site-generated projects have included moving almost an entire house by hand without the aid of machinery, creating the most banal rollercoaster ever made in the head office of an energy drink corporation, building a full-size ship through collective improvisation, running an election party campaign for the Irish underworld, transforming a city dumpster into a luxury boutique hotel, attempting to give a shed consciousness, and producing a series of impossible project proposals. SWINTAK has exhibited at galleries, festivals and museums nationally, and internationally in Taipei, Poland, the United States, and Ireland. She is the Co-Founder of Don Blanche, an experimental off-grid artist residency in rural Ontario and an Assistant Professor at the School of the Arts at McMaster University (Ontario).
