La Petite Mort Gallery is honored to announce the addition of a new artist – César Catsuu Antonio López – who will also be featured in National Gallery of Canada’s upcoming exhibition entitled Sakahàn: International Indigenous Art, on from May 17 – September 2013, and in collaboration with the Embassy of Mexico.
On May 15, La Petite Mort Gallery will be featuring the work of César Catsuu Antonio López as a precursor to the National Gallery’s exhibition. This will be a special extended display and sale of his work, anticipating the vernissage of Sakahàn, and located at LPM.
From the National Gallery of Canada’s webite:
“Sakahàn, meaning “to light [a fire]” in the language of the Algonquin, is the National Gallery of Canada’s largest survey of recent Indigenous art. It will highlight over 100 works by more than 75 artists from around the world, including impressive installations created specifically for the project. Poetic, unexpected and challenging, the artworks document and interrogate distinct cultural and social issues. One of the Gallery’s most ambitious contemporary art exhibitions to date, Sakahàn will extend to partnering venues in the Ottawa region and abroad.”
