Levin Ifko is an artist and writer based in Mohkinstisis/Calgary. His work blends elements of textiles, sculpture, and photography, often to engage with experiences of desire, longing, and connection, as well as his curiosity towards objects and sensory perception. Above all, he believes in art as a way of caring for ourselves and connecting with our communities.
He received a BFA in Media Arts (2022) from the Alberta University of the Arts, where he cultivated his interests in audio, video, and interactive art. Since then, he's been grateful to include his work in exhibitions and gallery projects across Alberta, including at The New Gallery, Stride Gallery, and the Mitchell Art Gallery. In 2024, his first solo exhibition, Tender to the Flame, was shown in Esker Foundation’s Project Space. Lately, he’s been putting most of his energy into reconnecting with his passion for music.
Dedicated to highlighting the work of fellow artists, Ifko regularly writes about the local visual arts scene for the online arts blog Akimbo. He also works in the arts sector for the TREX Travelling Exhibition Program, as an art handler/exhibition prep, and as a collaborator through support in audio/video production, creative direction, and arts program facilitation.
