Audie Murray: To Make Smoke - Artist Walkthrough
On view until 8 September 2024—Audie Murray’s exhibition To Make Smoke is the second in a series of exhibitions of artists from the plains/prairies region of Canada that push the constraints of artistic representation, both formally and conceptually. Murray explores smoke as a medium and how it helps reveal more fluid understandings of creativity outside of dominant materialistic or product-focused approaches. The exhibition features “ready-made” objects and organic residue, drawing on their ambiguity and versatility to evoke the complexity faced by Indigenous artists as they navigate the demands, expectations, appropriations, and limitations of the contemporary art world.
