His comic series, Wendy, chronicles the continuing misadventures of a young artist in a satirical version of the contemporary art world.
Walter Scott has exhibited work at Remai Modern, Saskatoon; Francois Ghebaly Gallery, Los Angeles; and Musée d’art contemporain de Montreal, among others.

Matilda Aslizadeh
Matilda Aslizadeh deploys a dense visual language positioned between photography, video, sculpture and animation to evoke the complexity and saturation of contemporary media landscapes. Her video installations draw on a large array of visual influences – both esoteric and popular – to rethink narrative structures that persist in Western culture and its global impact. Her current project interrogates the agency of the economy under neoliberalism through the lens of a horror film.
Matilda Aslizadeh has exhibited work at Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto Canada; Art Souterrain, Montreal; and Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival and Awards.
