• Student exhibition: Popular culture represents social values, attitudes and lifestyles and is often taken for granted although it forms the everyday culture in which we participate. This exhibition, produced by students in Anthropology, provides four separate sculptural statements that focus on one aspect of popular culture - the interaction between the consumer and the mass media. Each installation of Popology - Catch the Wave; The Event; Alice in Consumerland and decor-me-beautiful - explores one faucet of this relationship.

• The Kwakwaka’wakw artist Henry Speck, or Udzi’stalis (1908 – 1971), became a “newly discovered phenomenon” in 1964 when his paintings of masked dancers, coastal creatures, and sea monsters were shown at Vancouver’s New Design Gallery. Chief Speck, from Turnour Island, British Columbia, was a community leader, teacher, and cultural practitioner. By the 1930s he was also becoming known for his modern paintings, rendered in vibrant colours and textures. His work caught the attention of the Austrian artist and theorist, Wolfgang Paalen, and was declared by the Haida artist Bill Reid to be “far beyond anything attempted before in Kwakiutl art.” Experience Henry Speck’s paintings through originals and large-scale projections that refigure his work against a backstory of media images, sound, and film—an installation that evokes the changing contexts of the mythic and the modern in the 20th century. This exhibition is made possible with support from the Michael O’Brian Family Foundation, and is organized by the UBC Museum of Anthropology and Satellite Gallery. The exhibition was curated by Karen Duffek, MOA Curator of Contemporary Visual Arts & Pacific Northwest; and Marcia Crosby, writer, scholar, and PhD candidate, UBC Department of Art History, Visual Art, and Theory. Media by Skooker Broome, Manager, Design/Production, MOA.
