4.9/5 (28326 ratings)

Description:From his experience growing up on the Sandy Bay First Nation/Kaa-wii-kwe-tawang-kak in Manitoba to his studies, exhibitions, curatorial work, and residencies, Saulteaux artist Robert Houle has had a meaningful influence on the field of contemporary art and Indigenous culture. Houle’s resignation from his position as curator of contemporary Indian art at the National Museum of Man (now the Canadian Museum of History) in 1980, proved to be a significant marker in the artist’s career, setting the path towards a body of remarkable artistic production. With an emotional desire to free ceremonial objects from relegation to anthropological artifacts, Houle made a promise to devote the rest of his art career to changing perspectives on what constitutes contemporary Indigenous art through his artistic and curatorial practice.Robert Houle: Life & Work reveals how Houle’s work has impacted First Nations art and opened critical discussion and views on political and cultural issues surrounding First Nations peoples, including defining Indigenous identity, portraying the impact of colonialism, responding to crises such as Oka, and addressing land claims and residential schools. Robert Houle has played an important role in bridging the gap between contemporary First Nations artists and the broader Canadian art scene through his writing and involvement in early, important high-profile exhibitions such as Land, Spirit, Power: First Nations at the National Gallery of Canada in 1992.
