Marion Scott Gallery is excited to announce its participation in the 2022 edition of Art Toronto, October 27-30. Building on the gallery’s past presentations at the fair, the 2022 iteration brings together a dynamic range of contemporary and classic images by Inuit artists in a variety of media. The installation’s centrepiece is Help Us, an innovative body of new sculptural drawings and monumental wall pieces by Kinngait’s Shuvinai Ashoona, winner of the 2018 Gershon Iskowitz Prize. Also featured are two collaborative video works and a large-format photographic print by 2021 Sobey Art Award recipient Laakkuluk Williamson Bathory and digital artist Jamie Griffiths, both based in Iqaluit. These expressions in newer media are grounded and further contextualized by a selection of classic sculptures in stone and bone by such well-known Inuit masters as Amidlak, John Kavik, Andy Miki, Nick Sikkuark and Lucy Tasseor, coupled with additional two-dimensional images by Qavavau Manumie, Janet Nungnik and Kananginak Pootoogook.
