Bio
Norma consists of seven artists of diverse backgrounds who are based in Vancouver, Canada, with four members currently residing in Montréal, Uxbridge (Ontario) and Berlin. Since 2001 Norma has produced installation and performance works that employ absurdity, physical endurance and repetition in an exploration of collective identity and cultural anxiety.
