Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - WINNER OF THE GALERIES ONTARIO / ONTARIO GALLERIES ART PUBLICATION AWARDCanadian Museums Association Honourable Mention for Outstanding Achievement in the Research, 2025A testament to the impacts of colonization and a record of adaptation and resourcefulness, Worlds on Paper presents never-before-published drawings from artists in Kinngait (Cape Dorset) made between 1957 and 1990. These works lie outside of the artistic norms typically associated with Inuit art of the era, revealing a community in a time of transformation.Inuit works on paper have long been renowned for scenes of wildlife, hunting and camping, as well as depictions of animistic spirituality and transformation. Historically, drawings were selected from the Kinngait Drawing Archive to be made into prints at the discretion of tastemakers from the South. The recently digitized 90,000-item drawings archive (19571990) from the celebrated printmaking studio in Kinngait is an unparalleled cultural and social document. Housing scores of fascinating and revealing drawings of community, family, contact with newcomers, and life on the land, as well as seldom seen portraits and examples of Inuit Futurism, Worlds on Paper presents a vivid record of lived experience and personal stories long buried.This groundbreaking publication and exhibition, led by Inuit curator Emily Laurent Henderson and staged by the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, animates the legacy of Kinngait Studio and its role in generating, nurturing, and promoting artists who continue to challenge expectations and provoke fresh understandings. With essays by Susan Aglukark, Kyle Aleekuk, Mark Bennett, Napatsi Folger, Jamesie Fournier, Janice Grey, Jonas Laurent Henderson, Jessica Kotierk, Nicole Luke, Malayah Maloney, Jocelyn Piirainen, Krista Ulujuk Zawadski, and others, Worlds on Paper explores cultural transformation through the lens of art.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A personal and intimate perspective on one of Canada's most prominent 20th century multidisciplinary artists, who was once described as 'abstraction's poet-philosopher.'Charles Gagnon (19342003) was a painter, photographer and filmmaker considered by many to be an important figure in Quebec and Canadian art in the 20th century.His early career emerged alongside the American Abstract Expressionists and his growing multidisciplinary practice broke away from the singularity of painting shared by his Montreal contemporaries of the Automatistes and the Plasticiens. The complexity and depth of his work as a painter, photographer, and filmmaker was distinguished by a probing, introspective quality. His paintings were simultaneously rigid and free-flowing, with self-imposed rules and structure contrasted by rich fracture and gestural brush work. Across all disciplines he played with multiple levels of perception, and many works evoke the liminal space of the threshold, or multi-plane spaces.In Charles Gagnon: The Colour of Time, the Sound of Space, this long-standing multidisciplinary work is brought into full view with texts that explore Gagnon's various practices, from painting to photography to film. An English-language essay by art historian and curator Roald Nasgaard chronicles Gagnon's artistic evolution from his early years in New York in the 1950s to his final productive years in the late 1990s in Quebec, and situates him within an expanded international historical context of artists, artworks, and art movements. Filmmaker and professor Olivier Asselin's French-language essay engages Gagnon's use of different media, including the role of sound and music in his artworks. Michiko Yajima Gagnon, the wife of the late artist, gives insight into the inseparability of everyday life and Charles's creative undertakings: his friendships with other artists (Toru Takemitsu, Lee Friedlander), travel (to New York, Japan, and, particularly, the American Southwest), and the relationship between the landscapes surrounding his studios and his artwork.Featuring more than 250 art reproductions and archival images, Charles Gagnon is an intimate portrait of an artist and the celebration of a life's work.…
