Popology
|

- 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.

- March 12 - December 31, 2010 (on patio adjacent to Bill Reid Rotunda)
- Nicholas Galanin (b. 1979) is an artist of Tlingit ancestry who lives and works in Sitka, Alaska. Trained through apprenticeship and formal study in wood carving, metalwork, and tool making, he uses a range of media, including sculpture and video, to expand his own practice and investigate how “Northwest Coast art” is situated in relation to cultural values, contemporary issues, and global art worlds. His new work, Raven and the First Immigrant, is on display on the patio just outside the Bill Reid Rotunda, directly facing Reid's iconic sculpture, The Raven and the First Men.
