Margaret Honda Takes Vancouver Residency With 'Film Posters' Solo and Color Correction Screening
The School for the Contemporary Arts at Simon Fraser University has named Los Angeles artist and filmmaker Margaret Honda its Fall 2026 Audain Visual Artist in Residence. The October 13 to 27 residency brings a solo exhibition of her text-only "Film Posters," a public artist talk and a screening of her 2015 film "Color Correction."
Simon Fraser University's School for the Contemporary Arts has announced Margaret Honda as its Fall 2026 Audain Visual Artist in Residence. The Los Angeles-based artist and filmmaker will be in Vancouver from October 13 to 27, with a program that spans an exhibition, a public lecture and a film screening. The center of the residency is the solo exhibition "Margaret Honda: Film Posters," on view at the Audain Gallery from October 21 to December 5. The posters belong to an ongoing project Honda began in 2014, when she started screening her own films. Conceived as stand-alone artworks rather than advertisements, they carry no images and almost no information beyond the plain facts: title, director, date, location and running time. This will be her first solo exhibition in Canada. Honda will also give a public artist talk on October 15 at the school's 611 Alexander studio, and on October 22 The Cinematheque will screen her 2015 film "Color Correction" in a presentation developed with the residency program so the work can be seen under proper cinema conditions. Her practice moves between sculpture, drawing and film, organized around questions of context, materiality and production systems, often threaded with biographical elements. The appointment continues a strong run for the artist. Her work has been shown solo at Galerie Molitor in Berlin, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh and the KW Institute for Contemporary Art in Berlin, and she took part in the 2026 edition of the Whitney Biennial. She received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2022, and her work sits in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Carnegie Museum of Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles and France's national contemporary art collection.
