A new fund will help the discover the history behind some of its most important artifacts in order to guide future collection building.
The Dodge Family Indigenous Art Collection Research Fund has been established with a generous donation from Chancellor Emeritus David Dodge, Arts카지노 게임 컬렉션™65, LLD카지노 게임 컬렉션™02, and his wife, Christiane, Arts카지노 게임 컬렉션™65, to support the gallery in developing a strategy to grow its Indigenous art collection as a powerful asset for research and learning at the university and to encourage fellow alumni, friends, and faculty to support Indigenous arts at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션™s.
카지노 게임 컬렉션śOur Indigenous art collection has accrued over a long period, and as a result, it카지노 게임 컬렉션™s quite eclectic,카지노 게임 컬렉션ť says Agnes Director Jan Allen. 카지노 게임 컬렉션śOur knowledge about the collection is uneven. Some of the pieces we know a lot about, others very little. Research must be done to ascertain cultures of origin and materials.카지노 게임 컬렉션ť
Alicia Boutilier, Chief Curator and Curator of Canadian Historical Art, says the fund will allow the Agnes to connect with communities where objects originated, including Inupiaq, Yupik, and Athabascan communities of the northwestern subarctic region.
카지노 게임 컬렉션śWe are inviting knowledge keepers from that region to work with us to review and engage with the objects to give us a better understanding of what we have that카지노 게임 컬렉션™s beyond a typical museum record,카지노 게임 컬렉션ť says Ms. Boutilier. 카지노 게임 컬렉션śWith that knowledge, we카지노 게임 컬렉션™ll have a better sense of how to move forward 카지노 게임 컬렉션” what we can exhibit, how we can expand it, how we can display it, how we can even store it.카지노 게임 컬렉션ť
An example of the knowledge the gallery is aiming to expand upon was realized when the internationally renowned Northwest Coast Git Hayetsk Dancers visited the collection prior to their performance at the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts in 2016.
During their visit, one of the artists, Mique카지노 게임 컬렉션™l Dangeli, discovered a frontlet 카지노 게임 컬렉션” a headpiece made from wood, paint, abalone shell, metal, and hide 카지노 게임 컬렉션” made by a Kwakwaka'wakw or Ts카지노 게임 컬렉션™msyan (Tsimshian) artist she believed originated from her people. She shared that, in her culture, a frontlet is used in ceremonial dance and worked with the gallery to incorporate it into their performance. With the help of conservator Amandina Anastassiades, students in the Master of Art Conservation program constructed a cradle to ensure the piece would be protected during the event.
카지노 게임 컬렉션śWe were especially interested in Mique카지노 게임 컬렉션™l Dangeli카지노 게임 컬렉션™s knowledge about the traditional use of the piece 카지노 게임 컬렉션” which she described as a cultural being 카지노 게임 컬렉션” given we had very little information,카지노 게임 컬렉션ť says Ms. Allen.
In addition to cultural insights, the Agnes will consult with a range of experts to define its goals in relation to its Indigenous art collection. This will include developing a strategy to assess potential acquisitions with research and learning in mind.
카지노 게임 컬렉션śThe addition of this fund will bring us access to extraordinary expertise to advance our collection in tandem with the growth across campus of Indigenous studies and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Task Force Implementation,카지노 게임 컬렉션ť says Ms. Allen. 카지노 게임 컬렉션śWe need to discern where these welcome resources will be placed to ensure our work is sensitive and well-informed.카지노 게임 컬렉션ť
The Dodges say their intention is to support that growing knowledge with the creation of the fund.
카지노 게임 컬렉션śOther Canadian, European and, to some extent, Inuit art has been looked at more closely and the knowledge about it has been developed over time,카지노 게임 컬렉션ť says Christiane Dodge. 카지노 게임 컬렉션śBut, as far as I know, not that much knowledge is available about Indigenous art. It카지노 게임 컬렉션™s about time the 카지노게임사이트 and the rest of the world looked at that. We hope that others will join in supporting this fund.카지노 게임 컬렉션ť
Ms. Allen says the creation of a fund is timely.
카지노 게임 컬렉션śA gift like the Dodges카지노 게임 컬렉션™ is especially exciting because it meets the demands of the moment,카지노 게임 컬렉션ť she says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션śWe카지노 게임 컬렉션™re at a time where, in order to move ahead, we need to cultivate the knowledge and participation of specific communities and there카지노 게임 컬렉션™s a cost associated with that. This is a visionary gift.카지노 게임 컬렉션ť
