On-Site Event
Edgar Heap of Birds | Genocide and Democracy, Secrets of Life and Death
The Charles H. Scott Gallery is proud to present a solo exhibition by Hock E Aye Vi Edgar Heap of Birds. For the past four decades, Heap of Birds has made multidisciplinary artworks that confront the oppression of Indigenous peoples and attest to the artist’s profound bond with the landscape of his Cheyenne and Arapaho homeland.
Rust Never Sleeps | Exhibition and Lecture
Please join us for a lecture by Natasha Myers, a Toronto-based anthropologist of art, science, and ecology. The lecture will be followed by the opening reception of Rust Never Sleeps.
The title of Neil Young’s 1979 album 'Rust Never Sleeps' speaks to the concept behind this exhibition of work by five artists who employ naturally occurring growth—salt, mould, rust, flowers and lichen spores—as their materials. The resulting works address commodity, use value, causality, chance and instability.
