36 United with the Instrument: Photograph­y, Performanc­e and the Legacy of Pia Arke

- Charissa von Harringa

Despite her status as a pioneering figure in Nordic art history, the late Inuit-Danish artist and innovator Pia Arke is largely unknown in North America. Tracing the landmark works of her career, this feature outlines the complex ways the artist reconfigur­ed the language of ethnograph­y to produce a visual vernacular all her own. The IAQ is delighted to introduce this important artist.
