  • THE COLLECTION Permanent Collections Are Complex, Amazing, and Very Weighted Things
    THE COLLECTION Permanent collections are complex, amazing, and very weighted things. The ways they are formed, presented, and interpreted all speak of choices—choices made one hundred years ago and yesterday. These choices express who we are, and crucially, who we want to be. The Art Gallery of Hamilton is proud of its collection, while at the same time recognizing that there is still work to be done in accounting for the biases, omissions, and—yes—idiosyncrasies of our holdings. Although we aim to have old favourites out on the floor as much as possible, we also have a responsibility to bring lesser-known work to public consideration. Given the challenges of properly balancing these concerns, and knowing that for practical reasons only a small percentage of the collection can be out of the vaults at any given time, what kind of choices inform how we present the collection? This selection is founded on an internal conversation among staff members aimed at demonstrating and testing the dexterity of our holdings. This conversation repeatedly returned to a set of central questions: How does the collection articulate an identity for the Hamilton region as well as for Canada? How can it reflect the shifting perspective of a single artist over time, as well as illustrate the shifting perspectives of many artists tackling a common subject, be it abstraction, landscape, or representation? Who do we see represented? And perhaps most importantly, who is not here? These questions, while directed, are fluid and organic; they change and shift over time and should reflect the times we live in and the things we are talking about as a society.

  • Discovering Carl Beam Political Messages in the Columbus Project
    Discovering Carl Beam Political Messages in The Columbus Project Nadia De Beijer S4836723 Bachelor’s Thesis American Studies Academic year 2016/2017 Radboud University Nijmegen 14 June 2017 Discovering Carl Beam Political Messages in The Columbus Project Abstract The Columbus Project by Carl Beam consists of twelve collage paintings and two sculptures. He made this in observance of the quincentenary celebrations surrounding the discovery of the American continent by Christopher Columbus. The individual art pieces in this project contribute to the collective memory of this event. It is important to know more about who Carl Beam was and why he constructed art like this. After that the messages that can be discovered throughout the art will make more sense. As a Canadian First Nation, his messages allow for a different voice in the remembered history of the American continent. The works are a combination of postmodernism, First Nation history and culture juxtaposed to that of Westerners. In addition to that the works are infused with political messages due to the imagery that is used. The work was received well by the art world in Canada and can still be viewed in many Canadian museums and art galleries today. Acknowledgement I would like to thank a few people for their help during the writing of my thesis. First of all my supervisor Mrs. Dr. Mathilde Roza for acquainting me with Carl Beam and being there to offer advice. Secondly, Stefan van den Berg to help me edit and organize the information clearly. Key words Art, Aboriginal, postmodernism, collective memory, identity, history, Native American and First Nation culture, Carl Beam, Canada, art galleries, politics, imagery, Western culture.

  • Placing Aboriginal Art at the National Gallery of Canada
    Placing Aboriginal Art at the National Gallery of Canada Anne Whitelaw University of Alberta Abstract: In 2003, the National Gallery of Canada opened its new galleries of Canadian and Aboriginal art. Through an analysis of the narrative of the display, this article explores the implications of the introduction of historical Aboriginal objects into the exhibition of Canadian art both for the evaluation of Aboriginal cultural production as art and for the construction of the discourse of Canadian art history. Although there are moments of rupture in the galleries’ narrative, the introduction of Aboriginal objects does little to question the aesthetic assumption of the art museum, which frames all works within its walls in terms of Western conceptions of artistic value. Résumé : En 2003, le Musée des Beaux-Arts du Canada a ouvert ses nouvelles salles d’exposition d’art canadien et autochtone. À partir d’une analyse de la trame narrative dans le processus d’exposition, cet essai explore les con- séquences que peuvent avoir l’introduction d’objets historiques autochtones dans le contexte d’art canadien. Ceci, afin d’évaluer la production autochtone en tant qu’oeuvre d’art et afin de développer un discours canadien en ce qui a trait à l’histoire de l’art. Quoiqu’il y ait des instances de rupture dans ce récit, l’inser- tion d’objets autochtones remet peu en question l’hypothèse esthétique du musée qui situe toutes les oeuvres qui s’y retrouvent dans un contexte de valeur artis- tique occidental. Keywords: Cultural studies; Aboriginal art; Canadian art; Museums In June 2003, the National Gallery of Canada (NGC) re-opened its Historical Canadian Galleries with a new display that included, for the first time in the insti- tution’s 125-year history, the exhibition of Aboriginal objects.

  • Jane Ash Poitras
    Jane Ash Poitras Kinsman Robinson Galleries 108 Cumberland Street Toronto, ON, M5R 1A6 [email protected] kinsmanrobinson.com 2 3 Jane Ash Poitras 4 New Paintings KINSMAN ROBINSON GALLERIES November 7–27, 2015 Weaving Dreams, 2015, Mixed media on canvas, 36 x 24 inches Introduction Dr. Jane Ash Poitras RCA has received numerous awards in recognition of her achievements as an internationally acclaimed visual artist and lecturer who has influenced a new generation of artists and students. A celebrated Canadian artist, she has significantly influenced the development of a new visual vocabulary for First Nations perspectives in contemporary art. Her unique style combines representational strategies of postmodern art—collage, layering, overpainting and incorporation of found objects—with a deep commitment to the politics and issues common to indigenous peoples. Jane’s journey of discovery and creation has opened new doors to enlightenment as she combines her many diverse interests in pursuit of her distinctive artistic vision. Over the years, Jane has pursued many different routes of discovery, each reflected in the art she has produced. Those journeys of exploration have taken her not only into plumbing her Aboriginal roots (beginning by reconnecting with her birth family and her Mikisew Cree First Nation), but into such diverse topics as pharmacology, ethnobotany, Sanscrit and other linguistics, and literary creations supplementing the creation of visual works of art. The range and diversity of the interests that inspire and inform her artistic creations have resulted in a number of distinctive series of artworks that, over time, reflect the paths she has taken on her journey of discovery.

  • Artistic Responses in the Legacy of the Residential School Experience
    In a State of Metamorphosis: Artistic Responses in the Legacy of the Residential School Experience by Suzanne Faye Marie Debassige A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in Art and Visual Culture Guelph, Ontario, Canada Suzanne Faye Marie Debassige, February, 2013. ABSTRACT IN A STATE OF METAMORPHOSIS: ARTISTIC RESPONSES IN THE LEGACY OF THE RESIDENTIAL SCHOOL EXPERIENCE Suzanne Faye Marie Debassige Advisor: University of Guelph, 2013 Dr. D. Marner This thesis explores artworks created by established Canadian Aboriginal artists in response to the Residential School experience. The prototype Residential School was the Carlisle Indian Residential School in Pennsylvania founded by Captain Richard Henry Pratt who, although he liked Indians, had little use for Indian culture (Adams 51). Pratt’s vision was to reform “the Indian,” which stated his goal was to “kill the Indian and save the man” (Adams 52) through a comprehensive education and training program designed to make the Indian a citizen. In Canada, the Canadian government adopted an “aggressive civilization” policy similar to that of the Carlisle Indian Residential School, upon graduation “the Indian” would have learned the English language, individualism, Christianity, and trades to function as a citizen. However, in Canada the driving force behind Residential Schools was not intended to reform “the Indian”, but rather to outright exterminate Aboriginal culture through acts of genocide. The intentions behind assimilation were clearly stated by the Deputy Superintended of Indian Affairs, Duncan Campbell Scott, “I want to get rid of the Indian problem…. Our objective is to continue until there is not a single Indian in Canada that has been absorbed into the body politic and there is no Indian Question and no Indian Department” (AFH, Healing 3).

    Art Gallery of Ontario YEAR IN REVIEW 2018 – 2019 Highlights of the Year April 1, 2018 – March 31, 2019 2018–19 was a year flled with a variety of engaging exhibitions, programs and activities at the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO). The AGO continued to deliver on its mission to bring people together with art. The guiding principles of Art, Audience and Learning provide the foundation for our exhibitions, programs and activities. The AGO has a notable history of developing and hosting successful exhibitions that attract visitors from broad geographic and demographic bases, while contributing to the reputation of Ontario as a cultural centre on an international scale. The museum continued to share the remarkable AGO Collection with the public, with about 3,900 works on display. The Indigenous and Canadian galleries documented lives and times in our city, province and nation through art, with a growing inclusion of Indigenous works to provide new perspectives on our past and present. Contemporary galleries showcased works by Canadian and international artists. Visitors were able to experience European masterworks dating from the early Middle Ages through to the 20th century. The growing photography collection at the AGO showcased the early pioneers in the feld from the mid-1800s to contemporary artists. AGO programming included a robust schedule of exhibitions all year-long, highlighted by: Last spring, over 165,000 people were wowed by Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors and the huge demand for tickets was unprecedented. Visitors loved Kusama and the AGO wanted to give everyone the opportunity to see her work in Toronto permanently.
