This Saturday June 13, two new exhibitions will be opening up the museum--two solo shows by Native women artists. Annie Pootoogook will comprise 39 drawings from the acclaimed Inuit artist. The second show will have large-scale works on paper with complex symbolism from emerging artist Andrea Carlson (Anishinaabe/European).
Andrea Carlson creates work that reflects cultural narratives and stories. Her symbols often play with the idea of monsters, or cannibals, who munch their way through a landscape filled with art and images from around the world.
Pootoogook's work chronicles contemporary Inuit life--the mundane chores of the everyday, stark interiors and still lifes as well as domestic conflict and personal discord. She was awarded the Sobey Art Prize in Canada in 2006 and included in documenta 12.
