    ONE HUNDRED WORDS FOR CONQUEST ONE HUNDRED WORDS FOR CONQUEST: CURATING ARCTIC SOVEREIGNTY AT THE WINNIPEG ART GALLERY By MARGARET BOYCE, B.A., M.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University © Copyright by Margaret Boyce, June 2019 McMaster University DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2019) Hamilton, Ontario (English and Cultural Studies) TITLE: One Hundred Words for Conquest: Curating Arctic Sovereignty at the Winnipeg Art Gallery AUTHOR: Margaret Boyce, B.A. (McMaster University), M.A. (McMaster University) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Amber Dean NUMBER OF PAGES: vii, 264 ii LAY ABSTRACT In this dissertation, I look at a series of catalogues for Inuit art exhibitions held at the Winnipeg Art Gallery (WAG), spanning from 1967 to 2017. I argue that the discursive conventions of settler-Canadian art appreciation, especially those geared towards Inuit creative production, have resonances with the political strategies that Canada uses to prove effective occupation—a term from international law—of the Arctic. My research intervenes in this context by showing how art appreciation encourages modes of effective occupation that are not obviously political, insofar as these modes operate in the realm of affect. The resulting work models some strategies for critiquing forms of settler benevolence that are unique to the art world, and offers a template for how to approach exhibition catalogues as a genre—both of which are underdeveloped areas of scholarship. iii ABSTRACT This dissertation examines a series of catalogues for Inuit art exhibitions held at the Winnipeg Art Gallery (WAG), spanning from 1967 to 2017.

Ce tableau ne vise pas tellement à réprouver les enseignements du Christ, mais davantage à blâmer ceux qui ont transmis son message, là où commence la rupture avec la bonté et la sainteté. Il y a eu de bonnes personnes qui se sont occupées des enfants là où des violences ont été commises sous le couvert Cheminement du Canada vers la vérité et la réconciliation la vérité vers Canada du Cheminement de la chrétienté.

RUBEN soapstone (21x9x6 inch) 2006 Sold ABRAHAM ANGHIK RUBEN (1951) Order of Canada Abraham Anghik Ruben was born in 1951, near Paulatuk, Northwest Territories. His family was engaged in hunting and fishing along the western Arctic coast. At the age of eight, he was sent away to residential school and for the next 11 years was separated from his family and culture except for two months each summer. Much to the sadness of his parents, he was soon unable to speak his native Inuktitut fluently. Upon leaving the residential school system at the age of 18, he found himself in a cultural "no man's land". He had always had a strong interest in art, which became the avenue through which he was able to reconnect with his cultural roots. In November of 1971, he met Ronald Senungetuk, Associate Professor of Design at the University of Alaska's SHARE Native Arts Centre, and was able to apprentice under him the following year.In his style and choice of (http://www.facebook.com materials, Anghik is an innovator, and his work reflects the complexity and craftsmanship of a contemporary /sharer.php?s=100&p[title]=Falconer& master.

    Communities of Access: Examining Emerging Geographies of Inuit Art in Canada Through the Lens of the Winnipeg Art Gallery’s Inuit Art Centre and Kenojuak Cultural Centre and Print Shop by Chrys Avgi Apostolatos A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Art History and Visual Culture Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Chrys Avgi Apostolatos, August, 2019 ABSTRACT COMMUNITIES OF ACCESS: EXAMINING EMERGING GEOGRAPHIES OF INUIT ART IN CANADA THROUGH THE LENS OF THE WINNIPEG ART GALLERY’S INUIT ART CENTRE AND KENOJUAK CULTURAL CENTRE AND PRINT SHOP Chrys Avgi Apostolatos Advisor: University of Guelph, 2019 Dr. Sally Hickson This thesis investigates how access to Inuit art and culture is changing through the development of new museum practices in the north and south of Canada, analyzing two new sites that are central to these emerging geographies. Opening in 2020, the Winnipeg Art Gallery’s Inuit Art Centre is the first large-scale exhibition space in the world that focuses on Inuit art and culture. Located in Cape Dorset, the Kenojuak Cultural Centre and Print Shop (2018), serves as a cultural centre for the production/exhibition of Inuit art in the north. Looking at the development of these two institutions within the historiography of Inuit cultural stewardship and Canadian institutional culture, I examine, through a thematic examination of print, news articles and social media posts, how new geographic centres of Inuit art are changing accessibility to Inuit culture, particularly in relation to the communities that produce it. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I would like to thank my advisor Dr.

  • Northern Light Forging the Future of Inuit Art
    ART CANADA INSTITUTE INSTITUT DE L’ART CANADIEN APRIL 16, 2021 QAUMAJUQ’S BRIGHT NORTHERN LIGHT FORGING THE FUTURE OF INUIT ART Dr. Stephen Borys, director and CEO of the Winnipeg Art Gallery, on the making of the world’s largest museum of Inuit art Last month, the Winnipeg Art Gallery (WAG) opened Qaumajuq (see details on pronunciation below), the world’s largest museum of Inuit art. A groundbreaking moment for Canada and Inuit visual culture, the 40,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art addition to the gallery houses its unrivalled collection of nearly 14,000 works of Inuit art. Although the concept for Qaumajuq at the WAG stretches back to the 1950s when the gallery first acquired Inuit art, an Inuit art centre became a priority for Dr. Stephen Borys when he assumed the role of director and CEO in 2008. I recently caught up with Borys to discuss Qaumajuq and the highlights of this extraordinary new addition to our country’s cultural landscape, including its architectural design, Inuktitut name, and the landmark inaugural exhibition INUA. Sara Angel Founder and Executive Director, Art Canada Institute ARCTIC INSPIRATION Qaumajuq, the Inuit art centre at the Winnipeg Art Gallery Stephen Borys, director and CEO of the Winnipeg Art Gallery, stands in Qaumajuq’s inaugural exhibition INUA Designed by the Los-Angeles-based Michael Maltzan and built over the course of nearly three years, Qaumajuq features an undulating white stone façade that mimics the shape of an iceberg. Its smooth, expansive surfaces evoke the vastness of the Arctic landscape as well as the Inuit carvings housed within the building.

These Bencampments consisted of ten or so families subsisting on hunting for caribou, moose, muskox, game birds and waterfowl. His fatherWilliam Ruben,whose Inuinnaqtun name was Esoktak,was a great hunter and trapper, able to supplement his family income in order to buy goods at the Paulatuk [formerly Letty Harbour] trading post in the Northwest Territories run by the Roman Catholic Missions in the 1930s.
