Inuit modern : the Samuel and Esther Sarick Collection
Sommaire:
"Inuit Modern" is a sprawling exhibition that displays for the first time highlights from the Samuel and Esther Sarick Collection, one of the world's most comprehensive collections of Inuit art. The exhibition traces the transformation of Inuit art in the 20th century and features more than 175 works by 75 artists - including sculpture, prints, and drawings. "Inuit Modern" draws from multiple communities and periods to embrace voices both traditional and contemporary in its consideration of the history and future of Inuit art, and closely examines how the Inuit have coped with and responded to the swift transition from a traditional lifestyle to one marked by the disturbing complexities of globalization and climate change. Featuring work by many of the most prominent Inuit artists of the 20th century, including David Ruben Piqtoukun, Kenojuak Ashevak, Karoo Ashevak, Annie Pootoogook, and Lucy Tasseor, at the heart of Inuit Modern lies a powerful message of social, political, and cultural transformation. Essays by leading Canadian scholars in the field including Ingo Hessel, Robert McGhee, Christine Laloude, Heather Igloliorte, Dorothy Eber and Bernadette Driscoll Engelstad examine the social, political and cultural transformation through the dynamic lens of colonial influence and agency.
