Louie Palu: Distant Early Warning<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Dates: <\/strong>May 18 \u2013 September 2, 2019<\/span><\/p>\n

Louie Palu\u2019s (b. 1968, Toronto) project documents the vestigial legacies of the Cold War and the increased military presence in the Arctic today. The changes in the region are exacerbated by the many unknowns the Arctic faces, among them the warming of the planet. Taken as a whole, this series of photographs examines the growing geopolitical tensions and changing life around Inuit communities in one of the planet\u2019s most extreme and challenging places.<\/span><\/p>\n

Louie Palu\u2019s work was supported by funding from the\u00a0John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation,\u00a0National Geographic Magazine and\u00a0Pulitzer Center. This exhibition is part of the Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Itee Pootoogook: Hymns to the Silence <\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Dates:<\/strong> June 1 \u2013 September 22, 2019<\/span><\/p>\n

The McMichael Canadian Art Collection is pleased to present a retrospective of over 80 drawings and ephemera by Itee Pootoogook (1951\u20132014) as part of an ongoing analysis of the careers of contemporary Inuit trailblazers.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the key members of the third-generation of Inuit artists from Kinngait (Cape Dorset), Pootoogook contributed to the transformation and reshaping of the creative traditions that were successfully pioneered in the second half of the 20th century by members of the West Baffin Eskimo Cooperative at Kinngait Studios.<\/span><\/p>\n

This exhibition is curated by Dr. Nancy Campbell.<\/span><\/p>\n

Janet Nungnik: Revelations<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Dates: <\/strong>June 8 \u2013 August 25, 2019<\/span><\/p>\n

Details to be confirmed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maud Lewis<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Dates: <\/strong>June 29, 2019 \u2013 January 5, 2020<\/span><\/p>\n

One of Canada\u2019s most beloved folk artists, Maud Lewis (1903\u20131970) is known for her brightly-coloured paintings of rural Nova Scotia. Working from her cabin on the side of a highway, she produced hundreds of small works that captured the rapidly-changing aspects of country life. This exhibition will emphasize the aesthetics of Lewis’ achievement, looking carefully at her serial repetition of images and motifs across her career, and the dizzying variety that she brings to the problem of picture making.<\/span><\/p>\n

Into the Light: The Art of Lionel LeMoine FitzGerald<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Dates: <\/strong>October 12, 2019 \u2013 April 5, 2020<\/span><\/p>\n

Into the Light: The Art of Lionel LeMoine FitzGerald<\/em>, is a comprehensive and diverse examination of the lasting impact of Lionel LeMoine FitzGerald (1890\u20131956), the last member to join the Group of Seven, and the only member to live in Western Canada. Co-curated by McMichael Chief Curator Sarah Milroy and Executive Director Ian A.C. Dejardin, the exhibition will present more than 200 paintings, drawings and prints in partnership with the Winnipeg Art Gallery.<\/span><\/p>\n

Robert Houle: Histories<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Dates:<\/strong> September 14, 2019 \u2013 January 26, 2020<\/span><\/p>\n

Details to be confirmed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maria Chapdelaine<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Dates: <\/strong>Winter 2019 \u2013 2020<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the treasures of the McMichael Canadian Art Collection is a group of 54 jewel-like miniatures by the artist Clarence Gagnon (1881\u20131942). Completed in the early 1930s, this group of work was made for what is arguably the most famous illustrated book by a Canadian artist: Maria Chapdelaine<\/em>, a novel written by the French novelist Louis H\u00e9mon (1880\u20131913) and published in 1933. Due to conservation concerns, these artworks can now be only displayed once every three years, and the McMichael is pleased to announce that they will be on view in the winter of 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Art of Canada: Director\u2019s Cut<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Ongoing<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Ian A.C. Dejardin, Executive Director of the McMichael Canadian Art Collection, has delved deep into the gallery\u2019s vaults to personally select artworks for an ongoing and ever-evolving exhibition showcasing the diversity of Canadian art. Dejardin promises many classic favourites, but also some that have been rarely seen, including works that might surprise an audience familiar with Canadian art.<\/span><\/p>\n
