Artist Registry
The White Columns Curated Artist Registry is an online platform for emerging and under-recognized artists to share images and information about their respective practices. The Registry seeks to create a context for artists who have yet to benefit from wider critical, curatorial or commercial support. To be eligible, artists cannot be affiliated with a commercial gallery in New York City.

RESUME
Lorna Bauer utilizes photography and sculpture to examine humans' relationships to their surroundings. Bauer's projects are characterized as site-related, leading to a final result that responds to a specific place and context and speaks to a material and visual investigation into ideas and experiences generated from the ecologies of lived environments.
Bauer lives and works in Tiohtiá:ke/Mooniyang/Montreal; her work has been featured in numerous solo and collective exhibitions in Canada and abroad: the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal, the Darling Foundry (Montreal), Franz Kaka (Toronto), and Eleftheria Tseliou Gallery (Athens). She has been an artist-in-residence at Despina (Rio de Janeiro), The Récollets (Paris), the Quebec-New York Residency, Banff Centre, and the Atlantic Centre for the Arts. Her works are present in public and private collections, notably at the Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal and the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec. Most recently, Bauer was awarded the Barbara Spohr Memorial Award for contemporary Canadian photography (2019); in 2021, she was a finalist for the Sobey Art Award, representing Quebec, and in 2024, she was awarded the Gattuso Prize. In the spring of 2025, Bauer opened her first European solo exhibition, titled Lotte, at a Kunstverein in Dresden curated by Marie-Charlotte Carrier.
