pled, and knotted outerwear. Funk’s work is held in major museum collec- tions, including the Guggenheim and the Whitney in New York, the National Gallery of Canada, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
Oviloo Tunnillie: A Woman’s Story in Stone On display until Sept. 11 This exhibition is the first retrospec- tive of work by Oviloo Tunnillie (1949- 2014), one of the most respected Inuit sculptors from the Canadian Arctic. Bringing together some 60 sculptures from private and museum collections in Canada and the US, the development of her work is surveyed from the typical genre of finely-crafted birds and animals in the 1970s, to her exploration of social issues in the 1980s, to autobiographical themes in the 1990s.
The Inuit Art Centre Project On display until Sept. 1 The Winnipeg Art Gallery holds the world’s largest collection of contem- porary Inuit art. Amassed over the last 60 years, this amazing collection of over 13,000 carvings, drawings, prints, textiles, and new media is matched by an outstanding record of 160 exhibitions
and 60 publications. To celebrate the art, culture, and land of the Inuit, and to celebrate the people who have created these works, the WAG is building an Inuit Art Centre (IAC), the first of its kind in the world. This exhibition outlines key aspects of the project: designing an international centre and the history of Inuit art at the WAG.
The IAC will be a centre for exhibitions and programs, research and learning, studio practice and art making. It will be a gathering place — a community hub for exploration, dialogue, and inspira- tion. It will be a link to the North and its people.
Galleries and a visible vault will display thousands of works of art and artifacts through dynamic exhibitions, programs, and interactive spaces. Classrooms and studio spaces will offer opportunities for creative learning and artistic production, inspired by the images and ideas from the collection.
Situated next to the existing WAG build- ing, the IAC will bring the power and beauty of the North to its neighbours in the south. In turn, Inuit art will serve as a lens and enable visitors to survey the world of Canada’s Arctic — transporting them to the North.
