Art by Gregory Beatty
An Apology, A Pill, A Ritual, A Resistance
Remai Modern
Until May 24
A Remai Modern exhibition is putting coronavirus into historical context through a lens of, of course, art.
An Apology, A Pill, A Ritual, A Resistance which assembles work by multiple artists to examine life under pandemics past and present is also the work of a new curatorial team.
Last summer, the Remai welcomed Aileen Burns and Johan Lundh as its new co-directors. The married couple came to Saskatoon from a similar post in New Zealand after stints at galleries in Australia and Northern Ireland (Burns is Canadian, Lundh Swedish). In October, Tarah Hogue joined Remai Modern as its inaugural curator (Indigenous art). Before that, Hogue was the inaugural senior curatorial fellow, Indigenous art at the Vancouver Art Gallery.
