Claiming Space: Voices of Urban Aboriginal Youth
|
- June 1, 2014 - January 4, 2015 (O'Brian Gallery)
- Claiming Space: Voices of Urban Aboriginal Youth looks at the diverse ways urban Aboriginal youth are asserting their identity and affirming their relationship to both urban spaces and ancestral territories. Unfiltered and unapologetic, over 20 young artists from across Canada, the US, and around the world define what it really means to be an urban Aboriginal youth today. In doing so they challenge centuries of stereotyping and assimilation policies. This exhibit will leave visitors with the understanding that today's urban Aboriginal youth are not only acutely aware of the ongoing impacts of colonization, but are also creatively engaging with decolonizing movements through new media, film, fashion, photography, painting, performance, creative writing and traditional art forms. Artists in the exhibition include Alison Bremner (Tlingit), Deanna Bittern (Ojibwe), Jamie Blankenship-Attig (Nlaka’pamux, Secwepemc, Nez Perce, Muskoday Cree), Kelli Clifton (Tsimshian), Jeneen Frei Njootli (Vuntut Gwitchin), Ippiksaut Friesen (Inuit), Clifton Guthrie (Tsimshian), Cody Lecoy (Okanagan/Esquimalt), Arizona Leger (Fijian, Samoan, Tongan, Maori), Danielle Morsette (Stó:lō /Suquamish), Ellena Neel (Kwakwaka'wakw/Ahousaht), Zach Soakai (Tongan, Samoan), Diamond Point (Musqueam), Crystal Smith de Molina (Git’ga’at), Nola Naera (Maori), Kelsey Sparrow (Musqueam/Anishinabe), Cole Speck (Kwakwaka'wakw), Rose Stiffarm ((Siksika Blackfoot, Chippewa Cree, Tsartlip Saanich, Cowichan, A'aninin, Nakoda, French, & Scottish), Taleetha Tait (Wet’suwet’en), Marja Bål Nango (Sámi, Norway), Harry Brown (Kwakwaka'wakw), Anna McKenzie (Opaskwayak Cree, Manitoba), Sarah Yankoo (Austrian, Scottish, Algonquin, Irish and Romanian), Raymond Caplin (Mi’gmac), Emilio Wawatie (Anishanabe) and the Northern Collection (Toombz/Shane Kelsey [Mohawk], and the Curse/Cory Golder [Mi’maq]). Also included are works from the Urban Native Youth Association, Musqueam youth and the Native Youth Program.
- CURATOR: Pam Brown (Heiltsuk Nation), Pacific Northwest, and Curatorial Assistant Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers (Blackfoot, Blood Reserve/Sami, northern Norway).

Cindy Sherman meets Dzunuk'wa: From the Michael O'Brian Collection
|
- February 14 - March 29, 2014 (Satellite Gallery, 560 Seymour Street)
- The private collection of Vancouver-based arts patrons Michael and Inna O'Brian is the focus of this first collaborative exhibition by the four partner institutions at Satellite Gallery. Cindy Sherman meets Dzunuk'wa is a rare opportunity for the public to see selected highlights from the collection, including works by such key Canadian and international artists as Brian Jungen, Ann Kipling, Mary Pratt, Jean-Paul Riopelle, Victor Vasarely, and Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun. Formed over a period of 25 years, the O'Brian collection is both eclectic and unpredictable in its breadth and range of media, from paintings and sculptures to ceremonial regalia and conceptual photography. It emphasizes regional art from the postwar era to the present day, revealing the collectors’ special interest in local and emerging artists, many of whom have become personal friends. "My passion for the visual arts is not just about owning and collecting art," says Michael O'Brian; "The work must create within me a desire to feel and understand what was in the artist's mind at the time of its creation." Taking an experimental approach to the exhibition, the curators—Karen Duffek (Museum of Anthropology, UBC), Helga Pakasaar (Presentation House Gallery), Cate Rimmer (Charles H. Scott Gallery, Emily Carr University), and Keith Wallace (Morris and Helen Belkin Gallery, UBC)—have avoided chronological and thematic categories by placing the diverse works into unexpected juxtapositions. Just as New York artist Cindy Sherman’s untitled portrait of vanity and the grotesque comes face to face with Kwakwaka’wakw artist Beau Dick’s mask of Dzunuk’wa, the Giant of the Woods, artworks in the exhibition are presented as a series of conversations, from intimate to confrontational. “We have each brought different perspectives into the process of assembling the exhibit,” says Duffek, “and want to honour the vision of the Michael O’Brian Family Foundation, which founded Satellite Gallery as a space for new and temporary projects, collaborations, and experiments in the arts.”

Chinese Ceramic Figurines
|
- September - November 1994
- These ceramic figurines portraying people and animals were placed in tombs to accompany the deceased to the afterworld. Some of these figurines have been in the museum’s collection since 1982, but were too fragile to be exhibited. They were recently conserved by the Canadian Conservation Institute in Ottawa, Ontario. The ceramics are gifts from Dr. Walter C. Koerner and from Mrs. Helen Heaney in memory of Helen Nordham Battle.
