UPCOMING EXHIBITS
Kesu’: The Art and Life of Doug Cranmer
March 17-September 3, 2012, The Audain Gallery, MOA
Opening reception (free; everyone welcome): Friday, March 16, 7 pm
Kesu’: The Art and Life of Doug Cranmer honours a man who embodied ‘indigenous modern’ before the term was invented, but preferred the descriptor ‘whittler’ or ‘doodler’ to ‘Kwakwaka’wakw artist.’ Enhanced by a full-color catalogue by curator Dr. Jennifer Kramer, this unique exhibition captures the artist’s personality, his paradoxes, his range of work, and his profound influence on generations of Northwest Coast artists. Exhibition supported by Department of Canadian Heritage Museums Assistance Program, and proceeds from the Doug Cranmer Memorial Fundraiser, 2007.
Forest One by Annie Ross
March 20-May 27, 2012, The Great Hall, MOA
The Great Hall: gallery, performance space, parking lot. Yes, parking lot! For about two months this spring, Annie Ross’ amazing Forest One - a full-size, 1956 Nash Metropolitan automobile that the artist has wrapped, twined, and plaited with cedar-bark and other reclaimed materials -will be displayed here, in all its woven glory. Using bark salvaged from clear-cut urban forests, Dr. Ross, a weaver and Assistant Professor in First Nations Studies at Simon Fraser University, completely transformed the car inside and out. Forest One speaks of colonization, urban sprawl, trash, and remediating the urban landscape through acts of salvage.
