The Canadian Art Foundation is pleased to welcome Caoimhe Morgan-Feir as Canadian Art‘s interim online editor effective today, December 10, 2014, through to December 31, 2015.

In 2013, Morgan-Feir won the prestigious Frieze Writer’s Prize, an international award given annually to an outstanding new voice in art criticism. She has had first-hand gallery experience at Union Gallery, the Agnes Etherington Art Centre, Craft Ontario, Gallery 44 and the Power Plant. As a freelance writer, she has written a number of catalogue essays for galleries, as well as features and reviews for Frieze, esse arts + opinions, PUBLIC, MOMUS, Magenta and the Journal of Curatorial Studies.
Until recently, Morgan-Feir was at the helm of KAPSULA, a digital publication for experimental art writing, as founding editor, and she has also worked as a guest editor at Drain and Carbon Paper.
