- Summary
- An extensive survey spanning more than 50 years, Robert Houle: Red Is Beautiful celebrates Houle?s ongoing career as an internationally recognized Indigenous artist, curator and writer, calling attention to First Nations and settler-colonialist histories through the critical lens of his impressive oeuvre. Painful personal experiences from the time he spent in residential school as a youth are brought into sharp relief through painting. Houle?s visual commentary tackles global topics including commercial appropriation, Indigenous resistance movements, land rights, religion and war, among others. A leader in challenging systemic racial biases, Houle has played a significant role at successfully introducing Indigenous art and its relationship to the contemporary art world in Canada and beyond. Rare excerpts from the artist?s archive are featured alongside major scholarly texts, poetic writings and personal anecdotes from fellow prominent Indigenous thinkers and creators, offering new insights about an artist ahead of his time.00Exhibition: Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO), Toronto, Canada (03.12.2021-03.04.2022) / Contemporary Calgary, Alberta, Canada (Summer 2022) / Winnipeg Art Gallery, Winnipeg, Canada (Fall 2022) / Smithsonian, National Museum of the American Indian, Washington, USA (2023-2024).
