  • Bill Reid Gallery ​Re-Opens A​Nd Commemorates 100Th Anniversary of One of Canada's Most Renowned Indigenous Artists In
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 9, 2020 Bill Reid Gallery Re-opens and Commemorates 100th Anniversary ​ ​ of One of Canada’s Most Renowned Indigenous Artists in – To Speak With a Golden Voice – Exhibition brings fresh perspective to Bill Reid’s legacy with rarely seen artworks and new commissions by Northwest Coast artists inspired by his life and practice VANCOUVER, BC — Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art re-opens the gallery and celebrates the ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ milestone centennial birthday of Bill Reid (1920–1998) with an exhibition about his extraordinary life and legacy, To Speak With a Golden Voice, from July 16, 2020 to April 11, 2021. Guest curated by Gwaai ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Edenshaw — considered to be Reid’s last apprentice — the group exhibition includes rarely seen treasures by ​ Reid and works from artists such as Robert Davidson and Beau Dick. Tracing the iconic Haida artist’s lasting ​ ​ ​ ​ influence, two new artworks by contemporary artist Cori Savard (Haida) and singer-songwriter Kinnie Starr ​ ​ ​ (Mohawk/Dutch/German//Irish) will be created for this highly anticipated exhibition. “Bill Reid was a master goldsmith, sculptor, community activist, and mentor whose lasting legacy and influence has been cemented by his fusion of Haida traditions with his own modernist aesthetic,” says Edenshaw. “Just about every Northwest Coast artist working today has a connection or link to Reid. Before he became ​ ​ renowned for his artwork, he was a CBC radio announcer recognized for his memorable voice — in fact, one of Reid’s many Haida names was Kihlguulins, or ‘golden voice.’ His role as a public figure helped him become ​ ​ a pivotal force in the resurgence of Northwest Coast art, introducing the world to its importance and empowering generations of artists.” Reid was born in Victoria, BC, to a Haida mother and an American father with Scottish-German roots.

  • Robert Davidson Portfolio
    Robert Davidson (b.1946) ARTIST BIOGRAPHY Robert Davidson, of Haida and Tlingit descent, is one of Canada’s most respected contemporary artists and central to the renaissance of Northwest Pacific indigenous art. He has championed the rich art tradition of his native Haida Gwaii, consistently searching ‘for the “soul” he saw in the art of his Haida elders’. As he works in both classical form and contemporary minimalism, Davidson negotiates a delicate edge between the ancestral and the individual, infusing traditional forms with an evolutionary spirit. Awards include National Aboriginal Achievement Award for Art and Culture, Order of British Columbia, Order of Canada, Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal, British Columbia Aboriginal Art Lifetime Achievement Award, Governor General’s Award, and the commemorative medal marking the 60th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s accession to the throne as Queen of Canada and honouring significant achievements by Canadians. Robert Davidson CV EDUCATION: In 1966 Davidson became apprenticed to the master Haida carver Bill Reid and in 1967 he began studies at the Vancouver School of Art.

  • Place in the Poetry of Wallace Stevens and Robert Bringhurst
    The “Cure of the Ground”: Place in the Poetry of Wallace Stevens and Robert Bringhurst by Kirsten Hilde Alm B.Sc., University of Saskatchewan, 2001 M.A., Trinity Western University, 2011 A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY In the Department of English © Kirsten Hilde Alm, 2016 University of Victoria All rights reserved. This dissertation may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopying or other means, without the permission of the author. ii The “Cure of the Ground”: Place in the Poetry of Wallace Stevens and Robert Bringhurst by Kirsten Hilde Alm B.Sc., University of Saskatchewan, 2001 M.A., Trinity Western University, 2011 Supervisory Committee Dr. Nicholas Bradley, Supervisor Department of English Dr. Iain Macleod Higgins, Departmental Member Department of English Dr. Margaret Cameron, Outside Member Department of Philosophy iii Abstract This study analyzes the Canadian poet, typographer, and translator Robert Bringhurst’s (b. 1946) extensive engagement with the poetry, poetics and metaphysical concerns of the American modernist poet Wallace Stevens (1879-1955). It asserts that Bringhurst’s poetry responds to Stevens’ poetry and poetics to a degree that has not previously been recognized. Although Bringhurst’s mature poetry—his works from the mid-1970s and after—departs from the obvious imitation of the elder poet’s writing that is present in his early poems, it continues to engage some of Stevens’ central concerns, namely the fertility of the liminal moment and/or space and a meditative contemplation of the physical world that frequently challenges anthropocentric narcissism.

  • Letter to the Editor* Response to Aaron Glassʼ 2009 Review Essay
    Letter to the Editor* Response to Aaron Glassʼ 2009 Review Essay on The Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art Martine J. Reid This letter to the editor is offered as a personal response to Aaron Glass’ 2009 Review Essay focused on the Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art, a museum project with which I have been involved. In connection with Glass (2009), this response will address specifically: 1) the curatorial intent in the permanent exhibition of Bill Reid’s precious metal works, namely the division of Reid’s creative journey into three phases and 2) my use of Alfred Gell’s reference to the “techniques of enchantment” in the text panel. Past and current research on the Bill Reid Catalogue Raisonné (BRCR) has informed the curatorial intent for the exhibition Restoring Enchantment: Gold and Silver Masterworks by Bill Reid. I had originally titled the exhibition Deeply Carved: Gold and Silver Masterworks by Bill Reid, but I changed it to its definitive title after reconsidering the writings of Gell, which were seducing as they seemed to relate appropriately to Reid’s concept of the “well-made object.” A catalogue essay, which would have clarified some of Glass’ relevant points, had been planned but time and financial constraints did not permit its publication. When I was asked less than three months prior to the opening of the Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art (BRGNWCA) to be the curator of the permanent exhibition featuring Reid’s jewelry, my response to the daunting challenge was to choose a theme and format that would best make use of the Bill Reid Collection (BRC) and would articulate my knowledge of Reid’s works within the larger spectrum of his artistic development and practice.

  • Translating Orality in Robert Bringhurst's a Story
    VOICE IN TEXT: TRANSLATING ORALITY IN ROBERT BRINGHURST’S A STORY AS SHARP AS A KNIFE, HARRY ROBINSON’S WRITE IT ON YOUR HEART, AND WAR PARTY’S THE REIGN by Paul Watkins A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (English) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) June 2010 © Paul Watkins, 2010 Abstract Voice in Text investigates the process of translation that occurs when transmitting oral stories into a written framework with the intention to bridge the gaps that exist between oral traditions and technological scholarship. This thesis explores the potential motives behind Robert Bringhurst’s retranslation of John Swanton’s Haida texts, Wendy Wickwire’s transcription of Harry Robinson’s stories onto the page, and War Party’s use of Hip Hop as an expression of Native identity. Translating (one culture into another and the spoken into the written) can be used as a tactic to reinscribe cultural priorities and also to enact resistance. A storyteller’s allowance of the transcription and translation of their stories can be read as a plea for a listening that functions cross-culturally, a listening in which we can gradually learn to hear the storyteller’s voice in a written context. I apply theories of hybridity and intersubjective approaches to listening in my investigation to uncover how the translator and storyteller engage in a cross-cultural mode of transformation. Because of the highly sensitive nature of translating First Nations literature into a European poetic context, as both Bringhurst and Wickwire do, I explore some of the debates surrounding cultural appropriation, as well as show how potential divergences between written and oral practices interact to question what constitutes a respectful rendering of another culture.
