The Time Of Things: The Continuum Of Indigenous Contemporary Practices Into Contemporary Art

UVic Legacy Art Galleries, Victoria, BC - To Jul 7

by Michael Turner

Curated by France Trepanier, this exhibition takes as its point of departure the binary of traditional and contemporary. Through the work of five artists – Daphne Boyer, Maureen Gruben, Susan Pavel, Skeena Reece and Marika Echachis Swan – Indigenous customary practices and contemporary Indigenous art are presented not as opposing addresses but as a shared road. On June 7, Reece premieres her latest performance, “Conceptual Carving”.
