Marc Losier (b. 1979, Toronto, ON) is a Canadian contemporary artist and educator working in photography and image-making, sound, and installation. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally through exhibitions, public projects, and artist residencies. He lives and works in Elmastukwek/Corner Brook in the Bay of Islands of Newfoundland, where he maintains a research-based practice. Through archival research and site visits, his work develops layered responses to cultural and environmental histories, revealing how global systems and narratives become embedded within local places.
In 2023, he was awarded a Library Research Grant from the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles to undertake a residency in their special collections, and was artist-in-residence at ArtsIceland in Ísafjörður, Iceland in 2023. In 2024, he was invited to undertake a residency at BEAST Art Space in Bornholm, Denmark.
A long time art educator, Losier has previously taught at OCAD University, Toronto Metropolitan University, and the San Francisco Art Institute. In 2016, he joined the Faculty of Visual Arts at Memorial University, where he is Associate Professor of Photography.
He is currently serving as Vice-Chair on the board of directors of the Bonavista Biennale.
