Bio
Roger Bywater holds an MFA from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Halifax, as well as a diploma in sculpture from the Emily Carr College of Art and Design in Vancouver. Bywater has extensive experience as a curator, dealer, and publisher. During his eight years as director/curator at Art Metropole, Bywater edited numerous publications, while operating its Little Cockroach Press Series, and organizing exhibitions by Hans-Peter Feldmann, Martin Creed, Rodney Graham, and other artists. In 2001, Bywater established the Goodwater Gallery in Toronto with John Goodwin. During a four-year span, this private gallery functioned as a project room to present solo exhibitions by emerging and established artists, who created work specifically for the gallery. Bywater continues to work independently with artists on a project-to-project basis through his imprint, Bywater Bros. Editions, which publishes artists’ books and editions from various artists working in Canada, the United States, and Europe.
