| Wanda Koop - FACE TO FACE November 19, 2009 to January 10, 2010 | |
|
Wanda Koop is an artist of national significance, having represented Canada at the 2001 Venice Biennale and received the Order of Canada in 2006, and who will be the subject of a major retrospective in 2011, co-presented by the Winnipeg Art Gallery and the National Gallery of Canada. Recognized for her landscapes, Koop's solo exhibition at the Richmond Art Gallery will present a little-known aspect of Koop’s production: portraits and figures spanning nearly 25 years. Beginning with large-scale paintings of Chinese opera characters, the exhibition will include works developed from extensive notes and sketches recorded on Koop’s first trip to China in 1986, and recent works on robotics. |

| Arthur Renwick - Mask January 28 - April 4, 2010 | |
| Richmond Art Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition of photographic work by First Nations artist, Arthur Renwick. Renwick was born in Kitimat, British Columbia and is currently based in Toronto. Arthur Renwick builds on his previous exhibition, Mask, with a new body of work Mask: Artists and Curators. In this series, Renwick exhibits larger than life portraits of First Nations artists and curators who participated in a curatorial conference in Vancouver in 2009. Many at the conference were accustomed to questioning and challenging their “Indian” identity in their work. Already familiar with the stereotypical portrayal as recorded by history, pop culture, and the contemporary lens, they were asked to gaze back into the camera and “pull a face” in response. The result is a body of images that depicts a culture alive, reactive and very comfortable with challenging and mocking the norm. The exhibition will feature four of the original Mask photographs and 12 new works. This exhibition is accompanied by a publication with text by Richard William Hill. The exhibition is presented with Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad and the City of Richmond. |
