  Michael Eddy is a Cana­dian artist who since 2004 has been liv­ing abroad—in Japan, Ger­many and cur­rently in China. His work has been ex­hib­ited through­out North Amer­ica, Eu­rope and Asia. With a base in pho­tog­ra­phy, he works across var­i­ous media in­clud­ing per­for­mance, paper, writ­ing and in­stal­la­tion and fre­quently in col­lab­o­ra­tion with oth­ers, the most long term of which is the col­lab­o­ra­tive trio Knowles Eddy Knowles (along with Rob Knowles based in Lon­don and Jon Knowles based in Montréal, no re­la­tion). He is cur­rently work­ing with Home­Shop as a space and as a group of peo­ple work­ing across dis­ci­plines. From 2008–2010 he worked with Vi­t­a­min Cre­ative Space at the shop in Bei­jing, China, pro­gram­ming and co­or­di­nat­ing pro­jects and edit­ing pub­li­ca­tions. These pro­jects have often dealt with the “daily life” of art works. Michael stud­ied at NSCAD in Canada from 2001 to 2004 and at the Staedelschule in Ger­many from 2005 to 2008.
