The Art of Exclusion: The Status of Aboriginal Art in the McMichael Canadian Art Collection
From: Aboriginal Canada Revisited
$3.70
Since 1927, with the National Gallery of Canada’s colonialist exhibition titled Exhibition of Canadian West Coast Art, Native and Modern, Canadian public art galleries have been grappling (often unsuccessfully) with how Aboriginal and Euro-Canadian artworks should come together to define Canadian art. In spite of more than two decades of effort by Aboriginal artists and curators to create change, Aboriginal art in Canada still occupies a peripheral place in mainstream Canadian art histories and galleries.
