visiting

Curated by Emily Critch, presented at Grenfell Gallery (Ktaqmkuk / Newfoundland), 2019.

Visiting reflects and unpacks Indigenous/settler identity, pan-Indigenous cross-cultural exchange, cultural revival and queerness. In this exhibition Logan MacDonald seeks not to provide answers, but explore endless possibilities that reflect the diversity of individual experiences. While mediating these experiences through installation, drawing and photography, these works contemplate the dynamics of community and belonging while negotiating access and viewership. 


Visiting: Logan MacDonald was presented by Grenfell Art Gallery in collaboration Identify: A Celebration of Indigenous Arts and Culture and Eastern Edge Gallery. In this exhibition, MacDonald looks at manipulated landscapes, earthworks, structures and signage established by Indigenous communities as a means to assert property against encroachment. These moments of intimacy and movement draw connections between body and land as both sites of colonization and resilience in queer and Indigenous people.
