FREE ADMISSION
Studio Sixty Six Contemporary is thrilled to partner with Heffel, Canada’s leading fine art auction house and gallery, to present a curated selection of artwork by Barry Ace, one of Canada’s most celebrated Indigenous contemporary artists living today. This is the first time Heffel has partnered with a commercial gallery in the National Capital of Canada.
“I believe promoting Canadian art to new audiences means offering new experiences. Partnering with Heffel to present Barry Ace, one of Canada’s most important living artists, is a natural evolution of creating stronger cultural exchanges from coast to coast.”
- Brendan A. de Montigny, Owner and Director of Studio Sixty Six Contemporary.
ABOUT THE ARTIST AND EXHIBITION
Barry Ace is a practicing visual artist and currently lives in Ottawa. He is a debendaagzijig (citizen) of M’Chigeeng First Nation, Odawa Mnis (Manitoulin Island), Ontario, Canada. Ace’s work embraces the impact of the digital age and how it exponentially transforms and infuses Anishinaabeg culture (and other global cultures) with new technologies and new ways of communicating. His work attempts to harness and bridge the precipice between historical and contemporary knowledge, art, and power, while maintaining a distinct Anishinaabeg aesthetic connecting generations.
Barry Ace has exhibited in numerous group and solo exhibitions and has been placed in important public and private collections in Canada and abroad, including the National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa, Ontario); Canadian Museum of History (Gatineau, Québec); Art Gallery of Ontario (Toronto, Ontario); North American Native Museum (Zurich, Switzerland); Global Affairs Canada (Ottawa, Ontario); TD Bank Art Collection (Toronto, Ontario); Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada (Gatineau, Québec); Canada Council Art Bank (Ottawa, Ontario); and McMichael Canadian Art Collection (Kleinburg, Ontario).
Ace is featured in the touring exhibition from the MacKenzie Art Gallery in Regina, Radical Stitch, curated by Sherry Farrell Racette, Michelle LaVallee, and Cathy Mattes. Radical Stitch opens at the National Gallery of Canada on Friday, May 17, 2024.
