Max in Space — 12 Conversations With The Artist Max Dean

Max Dean is a preeminent Canadian artist whose multidisciplinary work has startled, engaged and intrigued for decades. This documentary in the form of 12 conversations in 12 spaces over the course of one year follows Dean from studio to exhibition spaces and even into Lake Ontario to capture a year in the life of an artist who is constantly creating using new forms. Under the shadow of a long-term battle against cancer, he reflects eloquently on a lifetime of creative industry, ranging from the renowned robotic chair to photography and installations. As Dean ruminates on process and demonstrates the discipline inherent to his life as an artist, he offers a kind of Master class for students — while also reminding all of us what it means to create.
