EXCLUSIVE | AGO COLLECTION HIGHLIGHT: NICHOLAS GALANIN'S A SPACE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH

Tuesday, April 13, 2021 | 5:30pm
Zoom

Join Wanda Nanibush, Curator, Indigenous Art and artist Nicholas Galanin for a conversation about Galanin's A Space Between Life and Death, a striking new addition to the AGO's Indigenous Collection.

The two will also speak broadly about Galanin's oeuvre, a body of work that engages contemporary culture from his perspective while remaining rooted in connection to land. The artist embeds incisive observation into his work, investigating intersections of culture and concept in form, image and sound. Galanin's works embody critical thought as vessels of knowledge, culture and technology – inherently political, generous, unflinching, and poetic.
