Kay WalkingStick Symposium 05 - Robert Houle
Description:
The symposium Seizing the Sky: Redefining American Art commemorates the opening of the major retrospective Kay WalkingStick: An American Artist, on view at the National Museum of the American Indian through September 18, 2016. In celebrating the work of Kay WalkingStick (Cherokee), the symposium and exhibition offer a fresh perspective on American art. In this segment, Robert Houle, artist, scholar, and curator speaks on "Presence and Place on the Land." Robert Houle, a member of Sandy Bay First Nation, Manitoba, is a contemporary Anishnabe Saulteaux artist who has been exhibiting internationally since the early 1970s. Houle was curator of contemporary aboriginal art at the Canadian Museum of Civilization (1977-81) and has curated or co-curated groundbreaking exhibitions such as New Work by a New Generation (1982), in connection with the World Assembly of First Nations at the Norman Mackenzie Art Gallery; and Land, Spirit, Power: First Nations at the National Gallery of Canada (1992). Houle has written many essays and monographs on major contemporary First Nations and Native American artists, and he has received numerous awards for his influence as an artist, curator, writer, educator, and cultural theorist. In Canada, Houle is represented by Galerie Nicolas Robert in Montreal and Kinsman Robinson Galleries in Toronto. The symposium was webcast live and recorded at the Rasmuson Theater of the National Museum of the American Indian on November 5, 2015.
