"About the artist
Ryan Danny Owen (they/him/her) is a non-binary award-winning author, researcher, queer archivist, and interdisciplinary artist based in Mohkinistis/ Treaty 7/ Calgary, Alberta. Their transdisciplinary work reexamines nostalgia, trans identity, longing, sexuality, and kinship by combining archival practices, installation, video, craft, and writing.
Utilizing process-based approaches, automatic response, and long-term relationships with materials to uncover ways of rendering the absent body, loss, and time. Their work deconstructs gay pornographic media as representations of intergenerational queer identity, constructing spaces through a fixation with artifice, manipulation, research, and experimentation.
