Earshot Jazz, November 1st, 2024 The Earshot Jazz Festival returns this year with performances from both resident and world renowned artists at venues all around Seattle! See Khu.éex' this year as part of the festival at the Clock - Out Lounge on November 1st at 9;00PM. Tickets are available now. ​​ ​

At the 2024 Toronto Biennial of Art., Nicholas Galanin will present two artworks. At Union Station (@torontounion), you can see “Threat Return,” seven bronze sculptures that operate as a ghostly presence that reoccupies settler colonial space and reclaims the return of Indigenous cultural property. At Gallery TPW (@gallerytpw), you can see”Never Forget,” a photograph that documents a site-specific installation that references the Hollywood sign in a compelling nod to the Indigenous landback movement.⁠

Nicholas Galanin - 2024 Toronto Biennial of Art

Nicholas Galanin (b. 1979; Lingit/Unangax̂)’s work engages contemporary culture from his perspective rooted in connection to the land. He embeds incisive observation into his work, investigating intersections of culture and concept in form, image and sound. Galanin’s works embody critical thought as vessels of knowledge, culture and technology – inherently political, generous, unflinching, and poetic.

The 2024 Platform section titled Collective Memory, curated by Eugenie Tsai, focuses on large-scale installations and site-specific works that explore the interplay of memory, material, and spirit. In dialogue with participating Platform artists, this panel will discuss the artists’ selection of materials and imagery to create artworks which draw from personal and cultural histories. The conversation will consider the visual elements of the exhibited works, probing how they create meaning.

Featuring artists Sanford Biggers, Dominique Fung, and Nicholas Galanin – moderated by Eugenie Tsai, Independent Curator. @thearmoryshow SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 8 4PM JAVITS CENTER (NEW YORK CITY)
