Margaret Lapp is an emerging art historian and interdisciplinary scholar. She recently completed her MA in Art History at Concordia University where her thesis focused on advancing the history of women artists in Canada, the archives of performance art as an ongoing performance process, and the effects of new media on artists at the end of the twentieth century. Drawing on archival and decolonial methodologies, as well as queer phenomenology, feminism, new materialism and spatial theory, Margaret’s research examines the material, processual and spatial conditions of art and artmaking.
