About
Red Runners: The New Objectification of Native Art and Identity, June 22 - July 2, 2010, Well and Good Gallery, 52 McCaul Street, Toronto Ontario, Canada
Red Runners was conceived by Internees Luke J. Parnell and Jason Jenkins, with oversight and guidance provided by renown artists Robert Houle and Bonnie Devine of the Aboriginal Arts Curatorial Collective. The focus of this exhibition is accessibility and identity. Accessibility is the focus we undertook from the mentors and identity is the focus that evolved in the creation of this exhibition.
This group show features 14 Indigenous artists of diverse background and media. They will, to coin a phrase, allow us to walk a mile in their moccasins. Some of the Artists were chosen for their traditional based work and others for their contemporary outlook, though no limits were place on what they could submit. All the works in the show are new. The stories they will tell will be diverse.
Red Runners are: Jason Baerg, Jordan Bennett, Emilie Corbiere, Mike Dangeli, Louie Gong, Morgan Green, Ian Morven, Lisa Myers, Tannis Nielson, Chris Pappan, Duke Redbird, Mervi Salo, Rosery Spence, Bear Witness
