  • 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.

    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.

  • 2017-2018 Annual Report
    AR 2017/18 COVER: New this year, monthly stroller-friendly tours give parents and caregivers an opportunity for conversation in the galleries, while connecting kids with art, like this happy little guy. PHOTO BY Breanne Lucky. Message from the Chair of the Board Traveling to the Embassy of Canada to the United States in Washington, D.C. to launch Ningiukulu Teevee: Kinngait Stories was a true highlight this past year. The WAG is a cultural advocate that uses art to connect, inspire, and inform, and this was very clear as we celebrated Inuit art in the U.S. capital. Graphic artist Ningiukulu Teevee spoke about finding inspiration in traditional stories and the changes she sees around her in contemporary Cape Dorset. It was such a pleasure to meet and hear from her, and see her artwork up close. Looking towards the 2020 opening of the WAG Inuit Art Centre, we continue to build bridges between Canada’s North and South through art and stories. The excitement was mounting that night and keeps on rising! As members and supporters of the WAG, YOU made a year of amazing art possible for our community. Thank you! Dr. Ernest Cholakis CHAIR, BOARD OF DIRECTORS L-R: Dr. Anastasia Kelekis-Cholakis, artist Ningiukulu Teevee, Dr. Ernest Cholakis, Dr. Darlene Coward Wight, Hazel Borys and Dr. Stephen Borys.

    PITSEOLAK ASHOONA Life & Work by Christine Lalonde 1 PITSEOLAK ASHOONA Life & Work by Christine Lalonde Contents 03 Biography 16 Key Works 39 Significance & Critical Issues 52 Style & Technique 61 Where to See 68 Notes 75 Glossary 79 Sources & Resources 91 About the Author 92 Copyright & Credits 2 PITSEOLAK ASHOONA Life & Work by Christine Lalonde Pitseolak Ashoona had “an unusual life, being born in a skin tent and living to hear on the radio that two men landed on the moon,” as she recounts in Pictures Out of My Life. Born in the first decade of the twentieth century, she lived in semi-nomadic hunting camps throughout southern Qikiqtaaluk (Baffin Island) until the late 1950s when she moved to the Kinngait (Cape Dorset) area, settling in the town soon thereafter. In Cape Dorset she taught herself to draw and was an active contributor to the annual print collection. By the 1970s she was a world-famous artist, with work exhibited across North America and in Europe. She died in 1983, still at the height of her powers. 3 PITSEOLAK ASHOONA Life & Work by Christine Lalonde EARLY YEARS In Pictures Out of My Life, an illustrated book of edited interviews with the artist, Pitseolak Ashoona recounts that she did not know the year of her birth. Based on various documents and stories handed down in the family, she is believed to have been born in the spring sometime between 1904 and 1908 at a camp on the southeast coast of Tujakjuak (Nottingham Island), in the Hudson Strait.1 Her parents were Ottochie and Timungiak; Ottochie was the adopted son of Kavavow, whose family originated in Nunavik but was expanding across the strait.

  • Interconnected Worlds: Kinngait Drawings in the North and South
    Interconnected Worlds: Kinngait Drawings in the North and South by Amy Rebecca Prouty A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Art History Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2016, Amy Rebecca Prouty 2 Abstract The critical success of Annie Pootoogook’s drawings has often been credited with precipitating a major shift within Inuit art towards more hybridized subject matter that led to the critical recognition of graphic artists such as Shuvinai Ashoona, Tim Pitsiulak, Itee Pootoogook, and Jutai Toonoo. Despite being characterized as a stylistic break within Inuit art history, I argue that these drawings display a sense of continuity with older generations of artists in Kinngait. My examination of factors in the contemporary art world indicates that the popularity of Inuit drawing was due to marketing by agents in the southern art world as well as the shift from modernism to the contemporary period. Such shifts altered the demands for authenticity in Inuit art and now privilege hybridized subject matter. I propose that the contemporary art world overlooks the complex ways in which Inuit have responded to modernity and use drawings to aid resiliency. 3 Acknowledgements I would like to acknowledge the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council whose funding made this research possible. I also owe an enormous amount of gratitude to my thesis supervisor, Ruth Phillips, who tirelessly edited my writing and guided me through a challenging topic. I would like to thank my committee members, Sandra Dyck and Christine Lalonde, for their invaluable feedback on this project.
