First Nations/Second Nature
February 6 – March 20, 2010
Audain Gallery
With its roots in the local history of Vancouver, First Nations/Second Nature is an exhibition of works that mediate the politics of sites and shifting conceptions of territory. Produced by local, national and international artists, the works in the exhibition offer divergent engagements with the notion of the site, examined from a national to a local perspective, and defined by First Nations' conceptions of place and territory. First Nations/Second Nature is the inaugural exhibition at Audain Gallery.
Artists in the exhibition included Rebecca Belmore, Matthew Buckingham, Greg Curnoe, Sam Durant, Jimmie Durham, Andrea Geyer, Cheryl L’Hirondelle and Andrew Lee, Brian Jungen, and Patricia Reed.
Curated by Candice Hopkins, the Sobey Curatorial Resident of Indigenous Art at the National Gallery of Canada.
First Nations/Second Nature is part of the Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad.
