	Upcoming Exhibition

	Shuvinai Ashoona: Drawings 1993-2007 October 13 - November 25, 2007

			THIS FALL MSG PRESENTS its long awaited mid-career retrospective of drawings by Shuvinai Ashoona. Ever since she began making drawings for the West Baffin Eskimo Cooperative in the early 1990s, Ashoona has continuously challenged the art world with her unconventional and frequently psychologically-charged images. This landmark exhibition will trace the Cape Dorset artist's evolution through a range of styles and themes, and will include examples of her early atmospheric landscapes along with her more recent experimentations with collage-like composition. A 12-page illustrated brochure-essay will accompany the retrospective. All works in the exhibition will be viewable online at www.marionscottgallery.com after October 5. A special reception will be given in Ashoona's honour at the Marion Scott Gallery on Friday, October 12, 7-9pm. Click here to RSVP.

	Annie Pootoogook

			PUBLISHED TO ACCOMPANY a 2007 exhibition of Annie Pootoogook's work at the Illingworth Kerr Gallery in Calgary, Alberta, this richly illustrated large-format publication includes several large colour reproductions of the artist's unconventional drawings of contemporary northern life. The modest number of pages notwithstanding, the catalogue contains three timely essays, including one by art historian Deborah Root entitled "Inuit art and the Limits of Authenticity" and another by contemporary art curator Nancy Campbell. Pootoogook has recently had a string of major successes. In 2006, the Cape Dorset drawer was the first Inuit artist in history to win the prestigious Sobey Award for most promising Canadian artist under the age of 40; and in 2007 her work was exhibited at Documenta in Hassel, Germany. 37 colour reproductions, 2 black-and white photographs, 36 pages, hardback. Price: C$29.95 For more information or to order, click here.
