Pootoogook, Nick Sikkuark and
Oviloo Tunnillie are featured
in Inuit
Modern: The Samuel and Esther
Sarick Collection, running
April 2 through August 21 at
the Art Gallery of Ontario.
Drawn from one of the largest
and most important private
collections of contemporary
Inuit art in the world, the
extensive exhibition comprises
a range of expression in a
variety of media, including
sculpture, drawings and prints.
Iconic images from the 1950s
and 1960s are shown alongside
more recent works by some of
the North's leading contemporary
voices.
In conjunction with Inuit
Modern, the Art Gallery of Ontario is hosting a two-day symposium on the state of contemporary Inuit art, April 1 and 2. Participants include Kenojuak Ashevak, Elisapee Ishulutaq, Heather Igloliorte, Jimmy Manning, Gerald McMaster and Ingo Hessel. The symposium considers the place of contemporary art in a North that is increasingly affected by global influences and the realities of cultural hybridization.
