    New Feminine Spaces of Representational Inquiry: the Works of Nina Levitt and Angela Grauerholz

    NEW FEMININE SPACES OF REPRESENTATIONAL INQUIRY: THE WORKS OF NINA LEVITT AND ANGELA GRAUERHOLZ Andromachi Gagas How do we translate conceptual-language-based art digitally while retaining its original relational function, or how do we situate a public intervention and social redress in virtual space dynamically rather than as inert photographic documentation, are issues we are trying to envision in these digital and virtual forms of exhibitions. I believe that this ambivalence of space is a notion that is a reflection of the postmodernist period in which the artists of the CCCA were producing the artworks displayed on their respective pages. Postmodernism was a questioning of our knowledge system and the “incredulity towards meta-narrative” such as was stated by Jean- Francois Lyotard in the 1979 publication of The Postmodern Condition: A Report on Knowledge.1 The striking down of the master narrative allowed for the petits recits of individual singular experience. And this expansion in the space of experience produced artworks that dwelt in a multi-dimensional space that re-enacted an idea or a memory, or produced artworks that directly disrupted the structures of authority of the totalizing narrative of the order of knowledge. Artists Nina Levitt (b. 1955) and Angela Grauerholz (b. 1952) address these spatial issues of experience and their works intervene and come to create new spaces where the rift in the master narrative can be widened even further. These artists, through their works, create new feminine spaces of representational inquiry. Levitt has created a new feminine space by abducting the white walls of a gallery and rendering them alive and actively engaged in the discourse of female representation.

    The Estate of Ted Russell

    “... I think there is merit in just ’being.’ Somehow or other the greatest gift we have is the gift of our own consciousness, and that is worth savouring. Just to be in a place that’s so silent that you can hear the blood going through your arteries and be aware of your own existence, that you are matter that knows it is matter, and that this is the ultimate miracle.” – Christopher Pratt, artist 584 This painting entitled We Filled ‘Em To The Gunnells by Sheila Hollander shows what life possibly may have been like in XXX circa XXX. Fig. 3.4 Artist profiles 585 Artist profile Fig. 1 Angela Andrew Angela Andrew – Tea Doll Designer Innu tea dolls have been created by Nitassinan Innu of Quebec and Labrador for over a hundred years. (The earliest collected examples of tea dolls date back to the 1880s.) But today, Angela Andrew of Sheshatshiu is one of the few craftspeople keeping the tradition alive. She makes as many as 100 tea dolls a year – many of which are sold to art collectors. Angela learned the art of making tea dolls from Maggie Antoine, a woman from her father’s community of Davis Inlet. She learned her sewing skills from her parents, who originally lived a life of hunting and trapping in the bush. Angela played with tea dolls as a child. She explains that when her family travelled across Labrador, following the caribou and other game, everyone in the family helped pack and carry their belongings ‑ even the smallest children. Because of this, older women made dolls for the little girls and stuffed them with as much as a kilogram (two pounds) of loose tea leaves.

Once he noticed an acquaintance’s house in the next target. The general telephoned his acquaintance and informed him that he was giving him five minutes to collect his ‘albums’, because he had decided to blow the house up. When he said ‘albums’, the murderer meant the albums of family photographs. The general, who had been destroying the city for months, knew precisely how to annihilate memory.
  • Angela Grauerholz

    Angela Grauerholz

    Angela Grauerholz BIOGRAPHY Born in Hamburg, Germany, in 1952, Angela Grauerholz has lived and worked in Montreal since 1976. A graduate of the Kunstschule Alsterdamm, Hamburg, in graphic design, she studied literature and linguistics at the University of Hamburg and holds a Master’s degree in Fine Arts (photography) from Concordia University, Montreal. In 1980, she was a co-founder of ARTEXTE, centre d’information en art contemporain, still today an important archive for Canadian art, where she worked until 1986. Simultaneously, until the late 1980s, she was very active as a graphic designer specializing in catalogue and book design. Since 1988, she has been teaching at the École de design, Université du Québec à Montréal, where she was the director of the Centre de Design from 2008 to 2012. Having influenced and taught many generations of graphic designers in Quebec, she has received numerous awards for her design work, such as the Award of Excellence (Best of Best) from the American Federation of Arts, New York, for the book Lisette Model, published by the National Gallery of Canada in 1990, and has worked for many distinguished artists and art institutions across Canada. In 2006, Grauerholz was awarded Quebec’s Prix Paul-Émile-Borduas for her accomplishments in the arts. In 2014 she received the Canada Council’s Governor General Award in Visual and Media Arts, followed by the Scotiabank Photography Award in 2015. Grauerholz’s photographic work has been exhibited and collected nationally and internationally.
