SUMMARY:First You Dream: Celebrating 75 Years of the Nova Scotia Talent Trust
DESCRIPTION:Organized by MSVU Art Gallery in partnership with Cape Breton University Art Gallery and the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia. \nThe Nova Scotia Talent Trust was founded in 1944 and has been awarding scholarships to visual artists since 1949.

The final exhibition selection resulted in a broad range of media\, including drawing\, ceramics\, fibre\, jewellery\, mixed-media\, painting\, printmaking\, sculpture and video. The generational mix of the artists (indicated by the dates of their Talent Trust scholarships) ranges from 1979 to 2016—a span of 37 years. The exhibition includes work by Jordan Broadworth\, Sandra Brownlee\, Lux Habrich\, Sara Hartland-Rowe\, Dan O’Neill\, Lucy Pullen\, Pamela Ritchie\, Despo Sophocleous\, Emily Vey Duke\, and Charley Young. \nThe Nova Scotia Talent Trust and partner galleries recognize the support of the Province of Nova Scotia through the Department of Communities\, Culture and Heritage. \n

SUMMARY:Carl Beam: One Who is Brave-Hearted
DESCRIPTION:Ojibwe artist Carl Beam was a critical figure in recent First Nations art in Canada\, and he was the first artist of Indigenous ancestry to have works purchased by the National Gallery of Canada as contemporary art. He shunned traditional style\, working in the modern mediums of prints and photo-transfer\, inserting the personal and the symbolic (both Indigenous and Euro-centric) alongside the historically renowned in powerful visual combinations that also used text and colour freely. Included in this exhibition of works from our permanent collection is his masterpiece\, the iconic Columbus Suite of 1990. \nCurated by Emma Hassencahl-Perley and organized by the Beaverbrook Art Gallery. \n

SUMMARY:Here We Are Here: Black Canadian Contemporary Art
DESCRIPTION:Artists: Sandra Brewster\, Chantal Gibson\, Sylvia D. Hamilton\, Bushra Junaid\, Charmaine Lurch\, Esmaa Mohamoud\, Michèle Pearson Clarke\, and Gordon Shadrach. \nThis exhibition challenges preconceived notions of Blackness in Canada through the work of eight contemporary artists. The artworks use current and historical objects\, images\, and ideas to blur the longstanding perception that Black bodies belong on the edge of Canadian history. Though Canada is widely celebrated as a triumph of cultural diversity\, dominant narratives have reduced the Black Canadian experience to one of an everlasting immigrant or newcomer. These artists question this by exposing deep historical traces of Black presence in our country. In presenting multiple voices and sensitivities\, this exhibition disrupts simplistic and comforting narratives\, while affirming the longstanding relevance of Blackness to the fabric of Canada. \nHere We Are Here: Black Canadian Contemporary Art was developed by the Royal Ontario Museum\, Toronto. This exhibition was curated by Dr. Julie Crooks\, Assistant Curator\, Art Gallery of Ontario\, Dominique Fontaine\, independent curator\, and Dr. Silvia Forni\, Curator of African Arts and Culture\, ROM. \n

SUMMARY:Jaime Angelopolous: Oblique Choreography
DESCRIPTION:June is busting out all over the Art Gallery with a lively and colourful exhibition of work by artist Jaime Angelopolous. Oblique Choreography pairs sculptural and drawings in bold\, playful and organic forms. \n“Known for her spirited explorations of form and colour\,” guest curator Ivan Jurakic writes\, “Jaime Angelopoulos’ sculptures and drawings share a complementary yet complicated relationship…. The works exhibit a kind of joyful exuberance\, but they also operate on a deeper social and psychological level.” \nBased in Toronto\, Jaime Angelopoulos has exhibited widely in Canada and the United States. She received her MFA from York University and studied sculpture at Meadows School of the Arts in Dallas\, Texas. Awarded the inaugural Hazelton Sculpture Prize in 2013\, she has participated in numerous artist residencies\, including at the KulttuuriKauppila Art Centre in Finland. Her work can be found in numerous collections in Canada and internationally. \nThe exhibition is organised in cooperation with McMaster Museum of Art\, Hamilton\, and the Musée regional de Rimouski. \n

SUMMARY:Carrie Allison: Wâhkôhtowin
DESCRIPTION:wâhkôhtowin is the Cree word for “kinship” or “the way in which we relate to each other.” For artist Carrie Allison\, this concept serves as an artistic methodology and guiding principle. Heart River (2018)\, a beaded map of the Heart River\, which runs through the artist’s Cree and Métis family territory\, underscores essential relationships between traditional beading\, water\, and the land. The companion installation Connect/Contact(2017)\, uses flora harvested from the banks of the river to create a gathering of paper discs whose movements invite visitors to listen for what Carmen Robertson calls “the sounds of the watery embodiment of place.” Finally\, Beaded Botanicals (2018-2019) features beaded sketches of endangered flora found in Mi’kma’ki\, the territory in which Allison currently resides\, presented alongside botany specimens borrowed from the Herbarium of the Nova Scotia Museum. \nCarrie Allison is an Indigenous\, mixed-ancestry visual artist born and raised on unceded and unsurrendered Coast Salish Territory (Vancouver\, BC)\, with roots in High Prairie\, Alberta. Situated in K’jipuktuk since 2010\, Allison’s practice responds to her maternal Cree and Métis ancestry\, thinking through intergenerational cultural loss and acts of reclaiming\, resilience\, resistance\, and activism\, as well as notions of allyship\, kinship\, and visiting. Her work is rooted in research and pedagogical discourses and seeks to reclaim\, remember\, recreate\, and celebrate her ancestry through visual discussions. She looks to Indigenous\, mixed-race\, antiracist\, anti-oppressive\, feminist\, and environmental theorists to critically examine the world around her. Allison holds an MFA\, a BFA\, and a BA in Art History from NSCAD University. \nCurated by Emily Falvey \n

SUMMARY:Shuvinai Ashoona: Mapping Worlds
DESCRIPTION:Mapping Worlds presents a selection of works on paper produced by Shuvinai Ashoona over the past two decades. Though many of her early drawings depict daily life in Kinngait (formerly Cape Dorset)\, Nunavut\, continuing an artistic tradition begun by the artist’s grandmother Pitseolak Ashoona (1908–1983) and first cousin Annie Pootoogook (1969–2016)\, Shuvinai Ashoona is best known for developing a personal iconography with imagery ranging from closely observed naturalistic scenes of her Arctic home to monstrous and fantastical visions. \nThis personal iconography\, consisting of human-animal hybrid creatures\, women birthing worlds and barren landscapes that appear to be post-apocalyptic even though they are inspired by the terrain of her northern home\, project the past and present into an otherworldly\, almost prophetic future. And\, unlike many settler visions of times to come\, which focus on violent clashes between humans and nature\, humans and other humans\, or humans and otherworldly “invaders\,” Ashoona’s earthly and extraterrestrial worlds exist within a kinder intergalactic future. By inviting us into her world\, inner and otherwise\, Ashoona makes it possible to further broaden our conversations about the changing northern landscape\, the role popular culture plays in Arctic communities and\, importantly\, the ways in which Inuit art and artists are presented within Canada and abroad. \nThe exhibition is curated by Nancy Campbell and Justine Kohleal and organized and circulated by The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery\, Toronto with the support of The TD Ready Commitment\, The Schreiber Sisters\, Anonymous\, Canada Council for the Arts\, and the Ontario Arts Council. \n
