Spaces For Reading

CARL BEAM, UNTITLED [SPERM WHALES], 1998 SFU ART COLLECTION. GIFT OF THE ROSEN GROUP, 1999

Spaces For Reading

SFU Galleries - Audain Gallery, Seattle, WA - To Apr 18

by Robin Laurence

Drawn from SFU’s art collection, this exhibition spotlights mixed-media works by Ann Beam and her late husband, Carl Beam. Both artists challenge the cultural construction of history, Ann Beam with an examination of gender roles and women’s labour, and Carl Beam through the exploration of “the space between Indigenous and other cultural views of our place within the universe.” A reading room features texts in response to the art selected by poet Mackenzie Ground, artist Sandra Semchuk and writer Richard Hill.
