to more than 4,000 works of art in

the Permanent Collection, and chose

artworks by Canadian artists with

particular meaning to them. their

responses have been captured in video

and include one of their own songs they

feel connects to the work. the exhibit

Opening Celebration: thursday, May 16, 7:30 pm, Free admission. Our major anniversary

exhibition, How We filled the Vault: Sixty

Years of Collecting, will be the largest

display of the Permanent Collection

since the MacKenzie opened its doors at

our current location in 1990. Featuring

approximately 250 works from a

collection of over 4,000, this exhibition

will tell the story of the Permanent

Collection’s evolution over the past 60

years.

a follow-up to the highly successful

Ruins to Renaissance: The Rise of the

MacKenzie Bequest, the exhibition

will focus on six decades of purchases

and donations that have built on the

founding bequest made to the gallery

by Norman MacKenzie.

the exhibition looks at collecting activity

decade by decade with two objectives.

First, it highlights the acquisitions that

have come to define the collection,

from its first purchase in 1957 of Harold

town’s The Tower of Babbling, to works

by luminaries such as Lawren Harris,

Pablo Picasso, Ed Kienholz, Bob Boyer,

Dorothy Knowles and Joe Fafard, among

others. Extended wall labels will provide

further context demonstrating how the

acquisition of key works of art established

new directions or deepened existing

holdings, and how they helped put the

MacKenzie on the cultural map. second,

the exhibition provides insights into the

contributions of individual directors,

curators, and donors. Illustrated panels

will delve into the collecting vision and

interests of the people who shaped the

MacKenzie Permanent Collection and

gave it its multi-faceted character.

Opening Celebration: Friday, september 20, 7:30 PM, Free admission. 7 offers an unparalleled

opportunity to appreciate and engage

with the work by one of Canada’s

most important early artist alliances –

the Professional Native Indian artists

Incorporated (PNIaI).

gathering informally at first in the early

1970s, Jackson Beardy (1944–1984),

Eddy Cobiness (1933–1996), alex Janvier

(b. 1935), Norval Morrisseau (1932–2007),

Daphne Odjig (b. 1919), Carl Ray (1943–

1978) and Joseph sanchez (b. 1948)

formed this influential and historical

group. Officially incorporated in 1974,

the seven artists of the PNIaI came

together as a groundbreaking cultural

and political entity that self-organized

to demand recognition as professional,

contemporary artists, to challenge old

constructs, and to simulate a new way of

thinking about contemporary aboriginal

people, their lives, and art. since their

official incorporation, the PNIaI have

often been wryly referred to as the

“Indian group of seven.”

Drawing on both private and public

collections the exhibition brings

together over 100 works including those

featured in formative exhibitions of the

group along with a number of recently

uncovered masterworks of the period

that have not been publicly accessible

for many years.
