October 11, 2014 to January 4, 2015 In the early 1970s seven professional First Nations artists decided to join together and create a new Group of Seven for Canada – sometimes called the Indian Group of Seven. They wanted to win an audience for their work and challenge stereotypes about First Nations people working as contemporary artists. Now the MacKenzie Art Gallery in Regina has organized a touring exhibition of their works, and the Kelowna Art Gallery is most honoured and pleased to be one venue for the show. The seven artists are: Jackson Beardy (1944-1984) Daphne Odjig (b. 1919) Eddy Cobiness (1933-1996) Carl Ray (1942-1978) Alex Janvier (b. 1935) Joseph Sanchez (b. 1948) Norval Morrisseau (1932-2007) The artist among the seven most familiar to Okanagan audiences will be the award-winning Canadian painter Daphne Odjig, who has lived and worked in Penticton for a number of years, and has achieved a national reputation for her work. The show will contain about sixty works of art in total. Most date from the 1970s and 80s, which is the time the group was functioning. It is curated by Michelle LaVallee, Associate Curator at the MacKenzie Art Gallery, who is of Ojibway descent. The show will be accompanied by a major publication. The exhibition was organized by the MacKenzie Art Gallery with support from the Museums Assistance Program, Department of Canadian Heritage. Opening Reception Friday, October 17, 7 to 9 pm Opening remarks at 7 pm. Conversation with the Artists Saturday, October 18, 1 to 3 pm Join exhibition curator Michelle LaVallee from the MacKenzie Art The Kelowna Art Gallery would like to acknowledge the generous support of: Gallery, and artists Alex Janvier and Joseph Sanchez, in conversation about 7: Professional Native Indian Artists Inc. Workshop with artist Joseph Sanchez, see details on page 14. 4 5 Gary Spearin: iNifiNiTi October 4, 2014 to January 11, 2015 Ontario-based artist Gary Spearin began his iNifiNiTi project in 2007, and it continues to grow. iNifiNiTi is a large series of twenty-four-by- twenty-inch-sized oil-on-canvas paintings. Each one is more-or-less abstract in nature, but may contain shapes, repeated lines or patterns, which create images that appear close to recognizable things, brains, bird nests, intestines, and such. Each time the artist installs the work in its grid format he changes the arrangement and number of the components. Simply put, the paintings are meditations on time: our experience and perception of time. Each painting is titled with a date, but not the date on which it was painted, confounding a straightforward reading. Spearin also marshalls the tropes of expressionism – strong colour, paint-laden brushstrokes, etc. – but cuts them loose from service to emotional or psychological meaning, so they become free agents. Thus, for the most part, Spearin’s paintings resist specific interpretation and categorization. Long-time visitors to the Kelowna Art Gallery might recall that Gary Spearin showed his NAME PAINTINGS here in 2004, an exhibition produced in collaboration with the Robert McLaughlin Gallery in Oshawa, Ontario, and the Art Gallery of the Esplanade Arts and Heritage Centre, in Medicine Hat, Alberta. His iNifiNiTi paintings evolved from the NAME PAINTINGS, extending some of the artist’s desire to involve the viewer in the process of meaning making, rather than presenting them with a fait accompli. Spearin holds a BFA from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Halifax, from 1981, and an MFA from the University of Guelph, in Guelph, Ontario, from 1997. Opening Reception Friday, October 3, 7 to 9 pm Opening remarks at 7 pm. Artist will be in attendance.

  • Analyse D'œuvres Du Style Artistique Woodland
    TRACES DE PEINTURE ARTIDAVI_VF1_Fiche1 Analyse d’œuvres du style artistique Woodland Norval Morrisseau est considéré comme le père du style artistique Woodland. Au cours des années 1970, il s’est affilié à une coopérative d’artistes, desquels certains ont adopté des aspects de ce langage artistique du style Woodland. Par la suite, il y a eu une relève formée d’une nouvelle génération de peintres qui ont trouvé leur inspiration dans ce style, et ce courant se poursuit encore aujourd’hui. Dans cet exercice, tu exploreras des œuvres de ces deux groupes d’artistes : ceux qui étaient à l’origine, et ceux de la relève. Citation de Daphne Odjig : « Nous sommes un peuple vivant et une culture vivante. Je suis convaincue que notre destin est de progresser, d’expérimenter et de développer de nouveaux modes d’expression, comme le font tous les peuples. Je n’ai pas l’intention de rester figée dans le passé. Je n’suis pas une pièce de musée. » Source : Les dessins et peintures de Daphne Odjig : Une exposition rétrospective, Bonnie Devine, Robert Houle et Duke Redbird, 2007. Consigne Tu analyseras deux œuvres, une de chaque groupe. Les œuvres du premier groupe sont celles d’artistes qui ont côtoyé Norval Morrisseau et comme lui, ont adopté un langage artistique similaire. Leurs couleurs plutôt ternes avec l’ocre très présent rappellent celles des pictogrammes et peintures rupestres sur les rochers dans la région des Grands Lacs où ce style est né. Bien que ces œuvres présentent des ressemblances, le style de plusieurs de ces artistes se transformera dans une forme personnelle, surtout à partir des années 1980, quand on verra émerger l’usage de couleurs éclatantes.

  • Windspeaker February 1996
    --.11., QUOTABLE QUOTE "National Chief Mercredi's actions and statements are an insult to the chiefs." - Manitoba Grand Chief Phil Fontaine '2 00 where applicable PUBLICATION MAIL REGISTRATION k2177 13 No. IO FEBRUARY 1996 Canada's National Aboriginal News Publication Volume POSTAGE PAID AT EDMONTON Thumbs up for treaties VANCOUVER Negotiation is the only acceptable and civilized way for Native people and the government to deal with the complex issues of Abo- riginal title and rights in the province of British Columbia, said Chief Joe Mathias. He was responding to a new study, conducted by ARA Con- sulting Group of Vancouver, which found land claim treaties have a positive effect in regards to economic opportunity, community development and improved relations between Aboriginal and non- Aboriginal people. "The strength of this report is that it provides an independent and balanced perspective of the issues, challenges and opportuni- ties of treaty- making," said Mathias. "It is a critically important and timely document, one we expect will generate constructive public debate in the months ahead." The study found that modern day treaties have not caused the kind of disruption and disharmony their critics contend they do, but neither do they offer instant solutions. A summary report pre- pared by Ken Coates of the University of Northern British Colum- bia said the resolution of long- standing disagreements, through negotiation rather than through legal or politically imposed con- ditions, will liberate people from the contentious and difficult de- bates of the past. "These often heated discussions - about colonialism, disloca- tion, sovereignty, ownership, and the legitimacy of Native land claims - generate a great deal of rhetoric and anger but rarely pro- vide lasting solutions," concludes the summary.
