Art Quantum
about
Art Quantum
The hallmark of this exhibition was an installation by a Distinguished Artist who is a First Nations artist, Edward Poitras (Gordon First Nation). His installation included 300 pounds of white rice that had to be treated to discourage insect infestation and that filled the gallery with the aroma of rice. The piece is titled Home and Garden, 2009, and is owned by the Eiteljorg.

Forming Our Language
I feel pretty fortunate to be a part of this particular generation. You know I think about the people who came before me and their marginalization was so different than my marginalization. I mean, but it still the language has to be invented. I mean I really feel like the language is, it’s like we are borrowing other peoples language to describe our situation to, but our particular language hasn’t really been formed yet. And that is an exciting time.”
