Mary Anne Barkhouse, RCA  Zoom lecture Nov. 4, 2021

The Royal Canadian Academy of Arts (RCA), founded in 1880, is one of Canada’s oldest continually-operating artist-run organizations. We celebrate, through advocacy, awards, scholarships, donations, mentorships, publications, exhibitions, and symposia, the achievements of Canada’s most distinguished cultural producers. Today’s Academy is comprised of nearly 700 established Canadian professionals coming from a variety of disciplines including painting, sculpture, architecture, printmaking, design, fine craft, photography, filmmaking, performance, installation, video, and media arts. Members are elected annually to the Academy, typically in mid­-career, by a jury of RCA peers.The RCA is a registered national non-profit organization. The Academy is administered by a Governing Council (GC) composed of delegates from all parts of Canada, on a rotating basis. The GC is comprised of a mix of Academicians and non-members elected for their expertise. The RCA Executive Committee is appointed by GC members, and is comprised of the President, two Vice-Presidents, a Secretary and a Treasurer. The RCA relies primarily on members’ annual dues, with additional contributions coming from RCA members, foundations, and friends. The RCA Trust pursues individual donations, endowments and corporate contributions.

Join us for a talk with Ontario-based Kwakiutl sculptor Mary Anne Barkhouse - Écoutez une conférence avec Mary Anne Barkhouse

[le Français suivra]On November 4, Minden, Ontario-based Kwakiutl sculptor Mary Anne Barkhouse will deliver a Zoom lecture on her recent work for our fourth Passages lecture. Barkhouse will speak about new works featured in exhibitions at Wanuskewin Heritage Park in Saskatoon and Lapai Gallery in Ottawa. Combining multiple materials and processes, such as cast glass, bronze, woven tapestry and cyanotype, the installations are inspired by recent events in natural and human histories including the reintroduction of bison in numerous western locations and renewed investigations into Indigenous political and social justice issues.Barkhouse was born in Vancouver, BC but has strong ties to both coasts as her mother is from the Nimpkish band, Kwakiutl First Nation of Alert Bay, BC and her father is of German and British descent from Nova Scotia. She is a descendant of a long line of internationally recognized-Northwest Coast artists that includes Ellen Neel, Mungo Martin and Charlie James. She graduated with Honours from the Ontario College of Art, Toronto, and has exhibited widely across Canada and the United States. As a result of personal and family experience with land and water stewardship, Barkhouse’s work examines ecological concerns and intersections of culture through the use of animal imagery. Inspired by issues surrounding empire and survival, Barkhouse creates installations that evoke consideration of the self as a response to history and environment.A member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts, Barkhouse’s work can be found in numerous collections such as the National Gallery of Canada, Remai Modern in Saskatoon, the Mendel Art Gallery in Regina, and the Banff Centre for the Arts in Alberta. Mary Anne Barkhouse currently resides in the Haliburton Highlands of Ontario. <a href="https://maryannebarkhouse.ca" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://maryannebarkhouse.ca</a> <a href="https://firstamericanartmagazine.com/barkhouse-wanukewin/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://firstamericanartmagazine.com/barkhouse-wanukewin/</a>-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Le 4 novembre, Mary Anne Barkhouse, sculpteure Kwakiutl établie à Minden en Ontario, prononcera une conférence par Zoom, la quatrième de la série Passages, sur ses œuvres récentes. Barkhouse les abordera en lien avec des expositions présentées au Wanuskewin Heritage Park à Saskatoon et à la galerie Lapai à Ottawa. Recourant à divers matériaux et processus, comme le verre moulé, le bronze, la tapisserie et le cyanotype, ces installations s’inspirent d’événements récents dans les histoires naturelles et humaines, incluant la réintroduction du bison dans plusieurs lieux de l’Ouest et la reprise d’enquêtes en lien avec des enjeux de justice socio-politique autochtone. Barkhouse est née à Vancouver, C.-B., mais elle entretient des liens solides avec les côtes Est et Ouest puisque sa mère est de la bande Nimpkish, Première Nation Kwakiutl d’Alert Bay, C.-B., et que son père d’origine germano-britannique est de la Nouvelle-Écosse. Elle est descendante d’une longue lignée d’artistes de la côte Nord-Ouest mondialement reconnus, dont Ellen Neel, Mungo Martin et Charlie James. Elle détient un baccalauréat spécialisé de l’Ontario College of Art, à Toronto, et son travail a fait l’objet de nombreuses expositions au Canada et aux États-Unis.Résultant d’une expérience personnelle et familiale de gestion du territoire et de l’eau, Barkhouse examine dans son travail des enjeux écologiques et leurs intersections avec la culture en utilisant une imagerie animalière. S’inspirant de questions entourant la domination et la survie, Barkhouse crée des installations qui évoquent l’estime de soi en réaction à l’histoire et à l’environnement.Membre de l’Académie royale des arts du Canada, Barkhouse a une production qui se retrouve dans plusieurs collections comme celles du Musée des beaux-arts du Canada à Ottawa, du Remai Modern à Saskatoon, de la Mendel Art Gallery à Regina et du Banff Centre for the Arts en Alberta. Mary Anne Barkhouse réside présentement dans le comté de Haliburton en Ontario. <a href="https://firstamericanartmagazine.com/barkhouse-wanukewin/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://firstamericanartmagazine.com/barkhouse-wanukewin/ </a> <a href="https://maryannebarkhouse.ca" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://maryannebarkhouse.ca</a>
