September 12–October 29

This exhibition highlights the dynamic, migratory, and sovereign nature of Woodland Native art across time. Drawing on Anishinaabe literary theorist Gerald Vizenor's concept of "transmotion," or the sovereign assertion of movement through time, place, and visionary narrative, the exhibition explores the capacity of images, styles, belongings, and artistic careers to contradict essentialized notions of “place” and identity. In the work of artists such as Norval Morrisseau (1932-2007, Ojibwe); Andrea Carlson (Ojibwe); Alan Michelson (Mohawk); and Native Art Department International, a collaborative partnership between Toronto-based artists Maria Hupfield (Anishinaabe, member of the Wasauksing First Nation) and Jason Lujan (Chiricahua Apache and Mexican), medium and form unmoor themselves from entrenched categories and roam broad sites of aesthetic and historical inquiry. These artists explore and embody visual movement(s) throughout the international meeting places of the Eastern Woodlands, challenging border regimes and colonial prerogatives while asserting the right to artistic migration in its manifold manifestations.

A public talk by Gerald Vizenor will be held on Thursday, September 19 at 4:30 PM in the Lang Performing Arts Center Cinema, followed by a panel discussion with participating artists, moderated by exhibition curator Christopher Green. The List Gallery reception will follow, 5:30–7:00 PM.

New faces in this series will be on view to the public for the first time and demonstrate the artist's recent experiments with digital photographic negatives. A selection of Camp’s lesser-known, non-figurative work will also be on display. Camp will lecture about his work on Thursday, March 20 at 4:30 PM in the Lang Performing Arts Center Cinema.
