FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE<\/strong><\/h2>\n

March 21, 2013, KLEINBURG ON<\/strong>\u2014Currently on display at the McMichael, the third<\/p>\n

and final exhibition in the Museum of Arts and Design\u2019s groundbreaking series<\/p>\n

Changing Hands: Art Without Reservation 3, Contemporary Native North American Art<\/em><\/p>\n

from the Northeast and Southeast<\/em> features eighty-three artists from Canada and the<\/p>\n

United States, who represent a new generation of indigenous artists utilizing<\/p>\n

contemporary techniques, materials, aesthetics, and iconography in their art and design<\/p>\n

practice. Changing Hands 3 presents incredible works created in the last seven years by Aboriginal artists in regions east of the Mississippi, including the Great Lakes,<\/p>\n

Woodlands, Northeast, Southeast, and up through the Canadian Sub Arctic. On view<\/p>\n

through June 2, 2013, the exhibition transcends ethnographic and anthropological<\/p>\n

interpretations and challenges preconceived notions and stereotypes of indigenous art<\/p>\n

and artists to effect a re-evaluation of contemporary Aboriginal art in an international<\/p>\n

arena.<\/p>\n

Changing Hands 3<\/em> features more than 130 works, ranging from site-specific installations and video to sculpture and jewellery\u2014approximately twenty-five of which were designed and created specifically for the exhibition. Following its New York City premiere, the exhibition traveled to museums in the United States, including the Memorial Art Gallery at the University of Rochester in Rochester, NY, and is now on at the McMichael Canadian Art Collection.<\/p>\n

The works in the Changing Hands 3 <\/em>exhibition at the McMichael, organized by guest<\/p>\n

curator Ellen Taubman in collaboration with Museum of Arts and Design\u2019s Chief Curator<\/p>\n

David McFadden, come from a broad cross-section of indigenous cultures, including<\/p>\n

Native Americans from the US, and First Nations, M\u00e9tis, and Inuit from Canada.<\/p>\n

Featured artists are presented without tribal designations, however, and the exhibition is structured around three significant themes that illuminate artistic, intellectual, and<\/p>\n

cultural resonances among Aboriginal artists:<\/p>\n
