The McClure Gallery, in collaboration with Avataq Cultural Institute, is pleased to present With the Seasons, an exhibition curated by asinnajaq. In this exhibition, the curator has brought together the works of eight contemporary artists to dialogue with works from the rich sculpture collection of the Avataq Cultural Institute. The work of Nunavik artists presents their reflections through many mediums such as sculpture, print, drawing, photography, and video. The works make palpable this sensibility that we all have with the different seasons. Indeed, we live and feel the daily variations of the seasons but this is also reflected in our mind, our imagination. Naluturuk Weetaluktuk’s photographs, imbued with great poetry, capture an impermanent state of things in perpetual renewal while Lucasi Kiatainaq’s colorful photographs testify to the beauty of daily activities. An exhibition catalog co-produced by the McClure Gallery and the Avataq Cultural Institute will accompany this exhibition.

Artists: Aisa Alaasuaq Koperualuk, Evie Tullaugaq Qamugaaluk Koperqualuk, Joe Talirunili, Jobie Qavavauq Iqaluk, Lucasi Kiatainaq, Lucy Aullaq Uppatitsiaq Weetaluktuk, The Ivujivik Collective (Louisa Kanarjuak , Passa Mangiuk, Lyne Bastien, Qumaq M. Iyaituk), Thomassie Mangiok, Tuumasi Kudluk and Victoria Okpik.
