  • ART=WORK at Eastern Edge Gallery
    Hello Minister French, Thank you for receiving this very important package from the Newfoundland and Labrador arts community. On Tuesday April 9th we held an important community meeting entitled ART=WORK at Eastern Edge Gallery. There we gathered 90+ amazing voices from our sector which included artists from all fields, arts workers from many organizations, curators, administrators, managers, volunteers, advocates, business leaders, and residents. We were brought together through our shared disappointment of the recent provincial cuts to our sector. We see this document as a beginning of a new conversation with you to make clear the impact of provincial investment in the arts which is proven time and time again to be a good and solid investment. When you invest in the arts, every dollar runs into 22 (according to source). But beyond this economic investment, you also invest in our people’s well-being, our history. Your investment assists the presentation of our stories on the world stage reflecting our distinct local culture in a time of increased globalization and pressure. All this, while providing a high quality of life for our citizens here at home. For what is a community without its culture? These cuts come at a time when new possibilities for growth have appeared. We believe that these cuts have depressed opportunities for growth while also making our sector highly unstable. We cannot do more with less. We need to be a part of the consultation process. As you may or may not be aware, many of those let go in our sector were one-of a kind individuals in the province with highly specific knowledge that cannot be easily replaced by frontline staff.

  • Imago Mundi Great and North
    Imago Mundi Great and 1 North More than 750 contemporary artists from across Canada, including Inuit and Indigenous artists from North America Onsite Gallery 10.24 10.24 12.16.2018 Imago Mundi is a unique, global artistic endeavour – a democratic, collective map-in-the-making of human cultures. This groundbreaking project was conceived by Luciano Benetton – founder, along with his siblings, of the leading fashion brand – and Imago realized by 110 curators worldwide. I am delighted to be the project’s curator for Central and Eastern Mundi Canada, and lead curator of the Canadian premiere of the exhibition entitled Imago Mundi – Great and Great and North at Onsite Gallery, OCAD University, Toronto. This exhibition groups the four Imago Mundi North projects completed in Canada. My participation was preceded by the work of my colleague, Jennifer Karch Verzè, starting in 2013, when she undertook the monumental task of curating contemporary artists from Western Canada, Inuit artists, and Indigenous artists from Canada and the United States. Karch Verzè’s mission of assembling a collection of traditional and contemporary Inuit artists from northern Labrador to Cape Dorset on Baffin Island was made possible thanks to the collaboration of the Inuit Art Foundation. 02 03 The work realized by this initiative is an outstanding example of how traditional forms and contemporary modes of expression create a rich and provocative synergy. In Western Canada, Verzè’s selection shows a preference for the figurative, depicting trees, birds, clouds and the imprints of animals, sharing a great closeness to nature and a reverence for magnificent landscapes ranging from the boundless plains to the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean.

NON-FICTION Canada’s Irish Pioneers: their story by Lucille H. Campey A vivid and detailed account of the Irish immigrants who settled in early Canada, Canada's Irish Pioneers is Lucille Campey's third book on Irish immigration to Canada. It incorporates material from her two previous books relating to Atlantic Canada and Ontario and Quebec and describes their settlements in the Prairies and British Columbia. Information is also given on the financial assistance provided by landlords to their tenants during the famine years and by the custodians of workhouses later on. Canada's Irish Pioneers is the first, fully-documented account, produced in recent times, of the great migration of Irish people to Canada. It is packed full of data on sea crossings and settlements, and the phenomenal geographical progress which the Irish made across Canada can be viewed in twenty six maps. The Irish were ambitious people with big dreams who were desperate to escape from the poverty in their homeland. This saga is all about the thrusting, brave and well-organized immigrants who prospered Self-published, 2020 Essays on the Legal History of Newfoundland and Labrador before Confederation edited by Melvin Baker, Jerry Bannister and Christopher P.

  • Goose Lane Editions Fall 2018
    INDICIA to come Goose Lane Editions Fall 2018 gooselane.com Where to begin? With a heartbeat. A word. An image. Fall 2018. A season of provocation, of entertainment, of complete absorption. A season of ideas. And of emotion. “This is where the heart of feminism beats.” — Annie Lennox on Powered by Love This fall our selection of new titles includes books destined for everyone’s reading list: a provocative (and yes, decidedly controversial) book on the myths of mammography by investigative journalist Renée Pellerin; a memoir of a river by one of Canada’s best nature writers, Wayne Curtis; and the first of two volumes on the Great Trail by hiker extraordinaire Michael Haynes. “Blunt, honest and well-researched.” — Flurt on F-Bomb Readers will be entranced by fabled lawman Strother Purcell in Ian Weir’s deadpan revisionist western and pulled into the undertow of history in Paul Carlucci’s ravaged high-rise of the north. In icehouse poetry, renowned poet Patricia Young and first-book author Dominque Bernier-Cormier will encourage readers to cast their gaze on a pungent, pulsating universe. Full stop. And then, with much ado, we’ll unveil a dazzling array of illustrated books, including three distinctive books of photography. ...Everything Remains Raw records the evolution of the Toronto hip hop scene through graffiti, magazine shoots, and behind-the-scenes documentary photographs. The Lost City documents the vanished neighbourhoods of Saint John razed by the progress of “urban development” in arresting, black-and-white photographs by Ian MacEachern. In One Wave, Ned Pratt transforms the Newfoundland landscape into distillations of form and colour — without a hint of nostalgia.

This plan has been built on the goals and priorities The Rooms has identified over the past 15 years and has set the strategic priorities for the 2017-20 planning cycle. The 2017-20 Strategic Plan capitalized on the success The Rooms Corporation (the Corporation) has achieved during its first fifteen years – with renewed emphasis to connect emotionally with its visitors, members and the people of Newfoundland and Labrador. Committed to increasing the number of people and program-based experiences, in support of government priorities, The Rooms introduced a new cultural immersion program commencing in Spring 2017. The Corporation developed a range of new programs based on the province’s unique culture incorporating provincial collections to increase engagement with residents and nonresident visitors. The Rooms has augmented its world-class permanent exhibits, as well as its constantly changing array of art exhibitions, with lively and engaging experiences that begin the moment visitors enter the building – thereby delivering deeper, broader, increased public engagement.
