Liz Magor I Have Wasted My Life
Andrew Kreps 22 Cortlandt Alley, Tue–Sat, 10 am–6 pm Tel. (212)741-8849 Gallery New York, NY 10013 andrewkreps.com Fax. (212)741-8163 Liz Magor I Have Wasted My Life May 21 - July 3 Opening Reception: Friday, May 21, 4 - 7 pm Andrew Kreps Gallery is pleased to announce I Have Wasted My Life, an exhibition of new works by Liz Magor at 22 Cortlandt Alley. On the wall, a new sculpture titled Perennial is formed from a duffle coat, which in the 1960s and 1970s had become a de-facto uniform for student protestors, including those part of the nascent environmental movement in Vancouver, where Greenpeace was founded in 1971. A near artifact from this time, the coat carries with it the accumulated wear from these actions. The artist’s own interventions seek to repair the garment, though in lieu of erasure, Magor marks the damage using paint, ink, and sculptural material. Simultaneously, Magor adds vestiges of the coat’s past activity, such as two cookies cast in gypsum placed in its pocket to resuscitate it to its prior use. Magor often positions humble objects at the center of her sculptures, the stuff that plays fleeting roles in our lives as repositories for memories and affection before being replaced. Three found workbenches, positioned throughout the galleries, become stages for these objects, suggesting sites for their rehabilitation. On each, a meticulously molded and cast toy animal rests between an array of accumulated items that range from the deeply personal, such as small collections of rocks, shells, and dried flowers, to those that are ubiquitous, such as Ikea Lack furniture, which is produced in a way that it is no longer contained to one place, or time. -

Astral Bodies Shuvinai Ashoona Karen Azoulay Shary Boyle Spring Hurlbut Pamela Norrish
Mercer Union, a centre for contemporary art 1286 Bloor Street West, Toronto, ON M6H 1N9 Canada T 416-536-1519 F 416-536-2955 www.mercerunion.org Astral Bodies Shuvinai Ashoona Karen Azoulay Shary Boyle Spring Hurlbut Pamela Norrish 25 November 2016 – 4 February 2017 The group exhibition Astral Bodies brings together works that imagine spaces beyond the physical – emotional, mythological, cosmological – tracing efforts to understand the nature of divinity and how we fit into the universe. Featured practices connect to ideas of being, animism, and the power of making the imagination take form. In works that span drawing, sculpture, and video, these artists court intoxicating historical visions that haunt modern imagination in our perpetual quest for knowledge and enlightenment. Here, the night sky recreated with candle flame, hypnotic swirls of human ash, and daydreams on eternity evoke personal positions in relation to the vastness of the world. They also offer fantastical reflections on the juncture between reason and dreams, existing at the meeting point of perception, awareness and philosophy. In the context of Astral Bodies, this assembly of viewpoints results in an exploration of contemporary Western pathologies, contradictions, and anxieties about what lies beyond our immediate reality. Curated by York Lethbridge Artist Biographies Shuvinai Ashoona was born in Cape Dorset in 1961, the daughter of artists Kiawak Ashoona and Sorosilutu. She began drawing in 1996, and was first included in the Cape Dorset annual print collection in 1997. Ashoona’s work has appeared in exhibitions including: Three Women, Three Generations, McMichael Canadian Collection (1999); Toronto’s Nuit Blanche (2008); Justina Barnicke Gallery, Toronto (2009); The 18th Biennale of Sydney and Sakahans, National Gallery of Canada (both 2013), and SITElines 2014: Unsettled Landscapes, Sante Fe, New Mexico. -

ASHOONA, Shuvinai
SUVINAI ASHOONA (SUVENAI) Date of Birth: August 5, 1961 Male/Female: Female E7-1954 Place of Birth: Cape Dorset Mother: Sorosolutu Ashoona Father: Kiawak Ashoona Shuvenai was born in Cape Dorset in August, 1961. She is the daughter of Kiawak Ashoona and Sorosilutu, both well known for their contributions to the arts in Cape Dorset. Shuvenai began drawing in 1993. She works with pen and ink, coloured pencils and oil sticks and her sensibility for the landscape around the community of cape Dorset is particularly impressive. Her recent work is very personal and often meticulously detailed. Shuvenai’s work was first included in the Cape Dorset annual print collection in 1997 with two small dry-point etchings entitled Interior (97-33) and Settlement (97-34). Since then, she has become a committed and prolific graphic artist, working daily in the Kinngait Studios Shuvenai’s work has attracted the attention of several notable private galleries as well as public institutions. She was featured along with her aunt, Napachie Pootoogook, and her grandmother, the late Pitseolak Ashoona, in the McMichael Canadian Collection’s 1999 exhibition entitled “Three Women, Three Generations”. More Recently she was profiled along with Kavavau Manumee of Cape Dorset and Mick Sikkuak of Gjoa Haven in the Spring 2008 issue of Border Crossings, a Winnipeg-based arts magazine. In an unusual contemporary collaboration, Suvinai recently worked with Saskatchewan-based artist, John Noestheden, on a "sky-mural" that was exhibited at the 2008 Basel Art Fair and was shown again at Toronto’s 2008 "Nuit Blanche". It later traveled to the 18th Biennale of Sydney in 2012 and in 2013 it was part of ‘Sakahans’ an exhibition of international Indigenous art at the National Gallery of Canada. -
