(Inter) Relational Portraiture: People of the Earth
February 8, 2022 – May 8, 2022
Submission deadline November 15, 2021

Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art
Curator: Toonasa (they/she)

What unspoken messages do our bodies imbibe from the forces of our beautiful lands
and waters? When we cast off the colonial lens, what stories do Indigenous bodies
tell? (Inter) Relational Portraiture focuses on portraiture of Indigenous people by
Indigenous people existing with the land, water, and animals. This can mean: studio
portraits with local botanical elements or medicines, regalia, or anything else that
illustrates a tangible relationship and connection to land, or images that illustrate
fishing, hunting, traditional food & clothing processing, food and
medicine harvesting
etc. This exhibition will focus on BC-based artists and subjects. Body diversity is
highly encouraged: fat, Afro-Indigenous, queer & trans, disabled, and old bodies. (Inter)
Relational Portraiture will prioritize artists and/or subjects of Musqueam, Squamish,
and Tsleil-waututh ancestry. (Inter) Relational Portraiture will be accepting submission
proposals September 13-November 15, 2021. Up to 5 artists will be selected to
participate. (Inter) Relational Portraiture invites artists to create and share intimate
portraits.

Proposals should include a 150-word description of the proposed work OR images of
works that have already been created but not yet exhibited, 1-5 images of current/past
works with accompanying list (title, year, medium, dimensions), and a short artist
biography. Images should be labeled: ArtistLastName_Title.jpg.

Please send questions and submissions to Toonasa: education [arobas] billreidgallery [point] ca

countermap.land: Request for Expressions of Interest

ARCA along with 221A and The Architecture Lobby Tkaronto, have formed a Research Partnership to produce 15 regional engagement workshops which will inform the development of a new digital platform, countermap.land. Each of the workshops will be designed as counter-mapathons, and will be supported with a $5000 micro-grant disbursed by ARCA.

These events will develop the first data layer of countermap.land. And, the feedback and learnings gained from these events will help to inform the functionality, submission vetting process, and the interface of the website. Artist Run Centres (ARCs), artistic groups and collectives are asked to submit a brief Expression of Interest to detail their intentions, ambitions and credentials to host a workshop in their region. Any self-organized group of artists and cultural workers may apply to this program. 

This collectively drafted countermap of the land we call “Canada,” will be developed continually and pluralistically to mark the spatial manifestations of centuries of white supremacist doctrines within officially-constituted narratives of nation-building and map-making. countermap.land allows users to locate and upload images and writing about racist and colonial sites of trauma (monuments, objects, buildings, structures), areas (parks, streets, neighbourhoods, infrastructure, waterways, geographic zones), and events (memories, time-based processes). Users can equally submit proposals for counter-monuments and safer spaces, as to advance narratives of repair and care. 

This project recognizes that maps and the associated technologies of cartography are inseparable from the colonial project; they describe and segment space, defining boundaries to movement, the exploitable resources of landscapes, and the reaches of imperial power. We hope through this work to appropriate and build on top of these tools to define new collective histories. This project will always be a work in progress. We hope through countermap.land, we not only challenge the data which is included and excluded in maps of so-called “Canada”, but to also reexamine and retool the technology of the map itself. 

countermap.land explores new methods for repatriation and pursues creative and collectively developed strategies for addressing real harm caused to BIPOC and Queer communities that cut across race, class, and gender identities. This platform will be an essential tool for architects, designers, planners and communities to create counter-power to hold colonial structures accountable, and it recasts space counter to established settler presumptions.

Date: 15 novembre

About Nairy Baghramian, 2022 Nasher Prize Laureate
Nairy Baghramian is a German citizen born in 1971 in Iran. She is a visual artist living and working in Berlin since 1984. Her work explores the relation of modeling, molding, and casting—interrelated elements of sculpture production involving positive and negative forms, and she consistently humanizes this largely mechanical process through overt or oblique references to the body.  Using an abstract vocabulary that often combines geometric and organic forms, as well as industrial materials and processes with elements that appear soft and supple, Baghramian highlights the subtle ligatures uniting disparate human activities.

Baghramian was a nominee of the Hugo Boss Prize 2020 and has been the recipient of the Malcolm-McLaren-Award with Maria Hassabi (2019); the Zurich Art Prize (2016); the Arnold-Bode Prize, Kassel (2014); the Hector Prize, Kunsthalle Mannheim (2012); and the Ernst Schering Foundation Award (2007). Her works are held in institutional collections including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Tate Modern, London; MUDAM, Luxembourg; Tamayo Museum, Mexico City; Jumex Museum, Mexico City; and the Art Institute of Chicago. Upcoming solo exhibitions of Nairy Baghramian include Secession, Vienna AT, 2021; and Carré d’Art, Nîmes, France, April 2022. Baghramian will be the subject of a long-planned solo exhibition at the Nasher Sculpture Center, unaffiliated with the Nasher Prize, in fall 2022.

No. 105 – Dossier Nouvel nouvel age

Date de tombée : 10 janvier 2022

Tel un spectre malicieux ou une force surnaturelle indocile, la résurgence ponctuelle des croyances occultes – sorcellerie, divination, astrologie, magie, alchimie – hante depuis toujours l’histoire de l’humanité. Tour à tour ennemi du Christianisme, pierre d’achoppement de la logique kantienne ou carrément menace du patriarcat (la sorcière étant une figure « maléfique » puissante largement revendiquée par les féministes), cet engouement sporadique pour le mystique et ses innombrables déclinaisons semble être le symptôme tangible d’une lassitude sourde face à l’ordre établi et aux systèmes de pensée hégémoniques. Aujourd’hui encore, l’intérêt renouvelé pour le mysticisme et les modalités d’agentivité et de pouvoir parallèles qu’il suggère se fait l’écho de l’inertie politique générale. Des concoctions hormonales « faites maison » aux pratiques animistes antispécistes, les multiples stratégies offertes par ce nouvel nouvel âge, comme nous serions tenté·e·s de le nommer à la suite du mouvement contre-culturel occidental des années 1970, répondent au besoin pressant d’agir hors d’un néolibéralisme qui tue, petit à petit, notre planète et les relationalités qui s’y jouent. Mais bien plus qu’une simple riposte ésotérique, l’existence de forces occultes – ou de forces théoriquement inexplicables – semble désormais entérinée par la science elle-même, à preuve les récentes découvertes de la mécanique quantique et des états presque « magiques » de la matière, ouvrant toute grande la porte au mysticisme quantique ! Si l’occulte séduit et fait peur tout à la fois, c’est qu’il ne peut être assujetti, qu’il n’a de cesse de se dérober au sens commun.

[…] Figure incontournable de ces croisements disciplinaires et icône iconoclaste par excellence pour nombre d’artistes actuel·le·s, la sorcière est d’ailleurs une source incontournable d’inspiration. Guérisseuse, chamane, alchimiste, herboriste, magicienne et sybille, la sorcière appelle à une décolonisation des savoirs et de la spiritualité, à l’effritement du patriarcat et du capitalisme, à une affinité intime avec la nature et le cosmos, au métissage des arts et de l’artisanat, du politique et du magique. Loin d’être la seule à caractériser ce nouvel nouvel âge, la sorcière s’accompagne d’une multiplicité d’entités réelles et imaginaires, de méthodologies queers, de posture antispécistes et de formes de création hybride repoussant toujours davantage les frontières de l’art. À la lumière des perspectives ouvertes par ce nouvel nouvel âge, ce dossier cherche à explorer les croisements entre ces approches multiformes de l’occulte et de la spiritualité 2.0 et les pratiques artistiques actuelles.
