Public Talk: Greg HillThe Power of Indigenous Art - Unlimited Possibilities
Tuesday April 4 at 7:30 pm at the Art Gallery of Algoma Admission is pay as you may Greg A. Hill is an independent curator, art consultant, and artist. From Fort Erie, Ontario he is a Kanyen’keháka (Mohawk) member of the Six Nations of the Grand River Territory. Hill has worked in museums for almost 30 years; as the National Gallery of Canada’s Audain Senior Curator of Indigenous Art, he was dedicated to increasing the visibility of Indigenous Art through ongoing display, expanding the collection, presenting a series of retrospective exhibitions for senior Indigenous artists in Canada and establishing an ongoing series of contemporary international Indigenous art exhibitions that has produced a leading collection of works by many of the most significant national and international Indigenous artists of our time. Hill’s work as an artist—in performance, installation, mixed media, photography and video—has explored aspects of colonialism, nationalism, and concepts of place and community through the lens of his Kanyen'keháka and settler French ancestry. Recent work delves into relationship to Land and personal explorations of spaces defined as interior/exterior and domestic/natural as part of an embodied lived experience. He has been exhibiting his work since 1989, with solo exhibitions and performance works across Canada and group exhibitions in North America and Europe. He has worked collaboratively in performance productions and exhibitions in Canada, the United States, the Czech Republic, Germany, and Hong Kong. In 2003, Hill was a recipient of the K.M. Hunter Foundation Visual Arts Award and an Indspire award in 2018. His work can be found in public and private collections in Canada and abroad. |
