2 | SPRING2015 EXHIBITIONS Elisapee Ishulutaq Until May 31 • Gallery 4 Curated by Darlene Coward Wight

Everyday life in Pangnirtung, Nunavut, is drawn out before you in Elisapee Ishulutaq’s six-metre mural, commissioned by the WAG in 2014. Buildings, games, household jobs, and transportation dot the lively mural depicting spring and winter life. Using oil sticks on paper, Ishulutaq’s summer scene reflects her early life on the land. It includes a qammaq, a semi-permanent dwelling used year-round, with a frame of bones covered with scraped and fur-covered sealskins and insulated with peat moss in the winter. The more modern winter scene on the other side shows people entering and exiting buildings, such as a co-op store and a church, while an airplane and a helicopter take off from the runway in the background. Two themes of past and present revolve around a lake inhabited by humans and animals. The clear blue water connects visually with the sky, framing the mountains of the Cumberland Sound. Darlene Coward Wight, WAG Curator of Inuit Art, travelled to Pangnirtung with art supplies for the project and worked with Ishulutaq for five days in October 2014. The artist worked for two more days to finish the whimsical drawing. Ishulutaq is known for recording the intimate details of everyday life as she has lived it. Her use of multiple perspectives, employing frontal, profile, and bird’s-eye view in the same image, is also characteristic, and these unexpected shifts add interest and liveliness to her scenes. This major work reveals the scope and degree of innovation of Ishulutaq’s work. The artist lived a traditional camp life on the land until 1970 when she and her family moved into the community of Pangnirtung. Her involvement with the arts began in 1970–71 when she participated in an experimental print workshop. In 1973, she was one of the first artists to have designs in the inaugural annual Pangnirtung print collection. She has since created hundreds of drawings, many of which have been used as designs for tapestries created in the Pangnirtung (now Uqqurmiut) Tapestry Studio. In 2014, Ishulutaq was named a Member of the Order of Canada “for her progressive artwork and for her contributions to the cultural and economic health of her community as role model and mentor.” Darlene Coward Wight Darlene Coward

This exhibition features work by Manitoba artist Lionel LeMoine FitzGerald (1890– 1956) that he created during the first decade of his professional career, including figure studies, industrial scenes, and landscapes—paintings, drawings, and prints.

Unlike many of his North American which often displayed canvases by contemporaries, FitzGerald did not study eastern artists like M. A. Suzor-Côté, fine art in Europe.

Olympus brings to Winnipeg over 160 ancient Greek and Roman treasures from the Antikensammlung der Staatliche Museen zu Berlin (Collection of Classical Antiquities of the National Museums in Berlin). As the first major exhibition of classical antiquities in Manitoba in over half a century, these works form part of one of the oldest and most prestigious collections of ancient art in the world, drawn from the Altes Museum (Old Museum), the Neues Museum (New Museum), and the Pergamonmuseum (Pergamon Museum).

UK-based Australian artist Ron Mueck is known for his startlingly realistic yet enigmatic sculptures that portray humans at key stages in life, from birth through middle age, to death. In works that are either monumental in scale or undersized, he explores the human condition and psyche, often conveying feelings of loneliness, vulnerability, and alienation.

Mueck grew up making creatures, puppets, and of craftsmanship, beginning with clay maquettes and costumes in his spare time, experimenting with sculpting in fibreglass, silicone, and resin.
