Courtesy of Madrona Gallery. Dear Readers, Thank you for your continued support of the arts in the Pacific Northwest. For over 30 years, Preview has helped art and museum aficionados connect with artists’ works and featured exhibitions in Alberta, BC, Washington and Oregon. Since it is vital to continue to support the arts during the COVID-19 crisis, we have published our April-May issue online. Galleries and museums have responded to the situation by temporarily closing their doors and postponing events, while our leading visual arts writers have continued to contribute their insightful reviews of exhibitions and programs. We at Preview have done our best to provide accurate information at the time of publishing; however, I strongly suggest you visit venue websites for updated schedules. This issue is an important beacon for the visual arts. We appreciate that no virtual experience can equal a personal visit to a gallery, museum or artist’s studio. But until such visits are again possible, Preview can guide your search for art that inspires you at this time of self-isolation. I should also mention that our magazine functions not only as a gallery guide and cultural advocate in the Pacific Northwest; since 1986, it has been recognized by Library and Archives Canada as “a historical record of art produced in this area. Public and museum libraries collect and retain copies of Preview for their permanent archives.” The arts on both sides of the border need our support now more than ever. Please share this online issue with your friends, family and community.

Of mixed settler/Inuvialuit heritage, Ingniq often creates work that reflects both aspects of her cultural identity as well as broader social issues related to Indigenous people today. Often working with reclaimed or rescued materials in her art- making, Ingniq takes an intuitive and mindful approach to art. In part, this is a reactionary, conscious choice regarding the amount of rampant waste in this capitalist/consumerist society, as well as a symbolic gesture adding to the reclamation of identity. The need to create work like this is to focus on evolving activism that seeks to generate dialogue and awareness about the current and historical aspects influencing Indigenous people, as well as other groups of marginalized individuals and problems to generate opportunities for more inclusive and supportive societies.

  • Contemporary Inuit Drawing
    Cracking the Glass Ceiling: Contemporary Inuit Drawing Nancy Campbell A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN ART HISTORY, YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO. January 2017 © Nancy Campbell, 2017 Abstract The importance of the artist’s voice in art historical scholarship is essential as we emerge from post-colonial and feminist cultural theory and its impact on curation, art history, and visual culture. Inuit art has moved from its origins as an art representing an imaginary Canadian identity and a yearning for a romantic pristine North to a practice that presents Inuit identity in their new reality. This socially conscious contemporary work that touches on the environment, religion, pop culture, and alcoholism proves that Inuit artists can respond and are responding to the changing realities in the North. On the other side of the coin, the categories that have held Inuit art to its origins must be reconsidered and integrated into the categories of contemporary art, Indigenous or otherwise, in museums that consider work produced in the past twenty years to be contemporary as such. Holding Inuit artists to a not-so-distant past is limiting for the artists producing art today and locks them in a history that may or may not affect their work directly. This dissertation examines this critical shift in contemporary Inuit art, specifically drawing, over the past twenty years, known as the contemporary period. The second chapter is a review of the community of Kinngait and the role of the West Baffin Eskimo Cooperative in the dissemination of arts and crafts.

  • Shuvinai Ashoona's Singular Style and Bold Artistic Experimentation
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Shuvinai Ashoona’s singular style and bold artistic experimentation, including collaborations with Shary Boyle, has overturned stereotypical notions of Inuit art. Today she is an internationally renowned artist. The Art Canada Institute announces the publication of its free online art book about innovative Inuit artist Shuvinai Ashoona. LEFT: Shuvinai Ashoona, Happy Mother, 2013, coloured pencil, graphite and ink on paper, 123 x 127.5 cm, Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. RIGHT: Photograph of Shuvinai Ashoona, c. March 2, 2005. Photograph by William Ritchie. TORONTO, ON – In the tiny hamlet of Kinngait, Nunavut, Shuvinai Ashoona (b. 1961) is a pearl—an artist protected from the world at large, who relishes the daily routine and support of working at Kinngait Studios. She is the granddaughter of iconic Inuit artist Pitseolak Ashoona and the daughter of renowned sculptor Kiugak Ashoona. In the mid- 1990s Shuvinai began producing detailed drawings that were made into lithographs, etchings, and stonecut prints. Her early works were primarily monochromatic depictions of natural landscapes and traditions of the North, but by the late 1990s, her attentions shifted to depictions of fantastical creatures, dream-like landscapes, and aerial- perspective representations of a global community, expressed in vivid colour. Shuvinai is an artist of superlative talent, her work characterized by full and elabo- rate depictions of the natural landscape and social networks of the North. Shuvinai Ashoona: Life & Work celebrates the influences of an artist whose rich graphic imagery conveys an intricate and textured interior world. Her distinctive style situates her in a category apart from other contemporary artists.

  • Biographicalroster
    Talbot Arts Biographical Roster of Board of Directors and Executive Director Fiscal Year 2021 NANCY S. LARSON, PRESIDENT Nancy Stoughton Larson was born in Evanston, Illinois, and raised in Milwaukee. The arts were always important in the Stoughton household--symphony, theater and museums. She studied both piano and clarinet during her school years and was also an apprentice for a professional summer stock theater company. She earned a degree in nursing from the University of Wisconsin at Madison and worked in that field for 20 years, ending as a director of nursing services. The one constant during that time was her love of music, and when her husband, Bruce, was transferred from the Northwest to the East Coast, she decided to make a career change. Nancy earned a BA in music history and literature and a MS in music education from Towson University, where she afterward taught for 12 years as an adjunct faculty member. One of her most popular teaching assignments was Women in Western Music, and she also taught the History of Baltimore through the Arts and an Introduction to Music History. The Larsons moved to Easton in 2013 and she has since been involved with Chesapeake Music, primarily as co-chair of the International Chamber Music Competition Committee. She is delighted with this involvement as it allows her to support marvelous, talented young musicians as they make their way in the very competitive field of classical music. She is well aware of this challenge as son Eric has traveled this road and is now a member of the Houston Symphony.
