BAIT: Curated by Ryan Rice, Featuring Work by Couzyn van Heuvelen

BAIT, an exhibition featuring work by Couzyn van Heuvelen and curated by Ryan Rice, Associate Dean, Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences, opened on September 13, 2019, at 6 pm. The exhibition ran from September 13, 2019 to October 19, 2019, and its opening coincided with a publication launch that was co-produced by the Owens Art Gallery and featured writing by Ryan Rice, Camille Georgeson-Usher, and Bryan Winters. The night also coincided with the launch of Inuit Art Quarterly's Fall 2019 issue. Copies of both the publication and magazine were available for purchase. A talk with the curator and artist was held the following day, September 14, 2019, at 1:00 pm.

Couzyn van Heuvelen’s work is a reinterpretation and reimagining of Inuit hunting and fishing implements. The sculptural works draw upon the artist’s relationship to Inuit tradition and land-based material culture and technology. BAIT addresses issues related to the transitional experiences between north and south, food sovereignty, and the binaries of art, craft, and function. The exhibition was supported by the Ontario Arts Council.
