Annie MacDonell is a visual artist whose practice includes film, photography, sculpture, installation and sound. She began her studies in photography at Ryerson University, earning her BFA in 2000, then went on to graduate studies at Le Fresnoy, Studio National des Arts Contemporains, in France.

Annie MacDonell currently lives in Toronto. Her recent work deals with exhausted ideas and images, landscape, repetition and the conventions of display as they exist in relation to art, the cinema, and the space of the gallery. In the winter of 2010 she showed new images and a large-scale sculptural piece as part of “To What Earth Does This Sweet Cold Belong?”, a group show curated by Jon Davies for the Power Plant. Currently, she has a solo show at the Art Gallery of Windsor, titled “The Abyss and the Horizon”.
