Abraham Anghik Ruben: The World of Man, Animals and Spirits
Exhibition Dates: May 16 – September 7, 2014
The art of Inuvialuit artist Abraham Anghik Ruben (b. 1951) portrays journeys of exploration, migration, and displacement through voyages across time and place, and into the spiritual realm. In these recent sculptures, Ruben contrasts the ancient lives of two northern peoples-Norse adventurers and Inuit (Inuvialuit) whale hunters-guiding us to a new perspective on the complex history of the North American Arctic, a history shaped by movement, contact, and change. This is a variation on an exhibition which premiered at the National Museum of the American Indian in 2012.
