Yvonne Singer is a practising artist with an active national and international exhibition record. Her installation works employ multimedia techniques, often with cryptic texts to articulate cultural issues of disjuncture and perception. She is particularly interested in the intersection of public and private histories.

Exhibitions include Signs of Life; an intimate portrait of someone I don't know (Loop Gallery, Toronto), The Trouble with Translation (tour - Germany, France, Canada), Alphabets (Stewart Hall, Montreal), Crossroad (Visual Art Centre, Clarington), doing time (The Red Head Gallery, Toronto), Staging Memory (Montreal Holocaust Centre), The Veiled Room (ACC Galerie, Weimar, Germany), Images of Girlhood (McCord Museum, Montreal).

She has received several public art commissions and her work is found in many private collections. She has served on the boards of the Koffler Centre for the Arts, Toronto Arts Council and C Magazine.

Professor Singer began teaching at York University on a part-time basis in 1980 and joined the Department of Visual Arts as a full-time faculty member in 1999. She is a former director of York's Graduate Program in Visual Arts.
