Malbeuf among 10 Aboriginal artists chosen

Amy Malbeuf, a Métis artist from Rich Lake, was one of 10 artists chosen from across the country to participate in a display of contemporary Aboriginal art at the Gladstone Gallery, in the Thunderbird Aboriginal Arts, Culture and Entrepreneur Centre, in Toronto. Curated by Vanessa Dion Fletcher, the exhibit, which ran in November, explored the values and lessons from traditional oral culture in a modern context, using the Anishnawbe story of the Seven Grandfather Teachings as its central theme. “We are incredibly excited to be involved with such a dynamic group of Aboriginal artists,” said Dion Fletcher, in a news release. “The exhibit features a wide array of pieces, each of which tells a unique and compelling story.”  Malbeuf’s 2011 video Rebirth was exhibited.
