Artist Book Signing at the AGO
On January 24, 2018, the Inuit Art Foundation attended the launch of the Earthlings catalogue at shopAGO in Toronto. Artists Pierre Aupilardjuk and Shary Boyle signed copies of the catalogue produced to accompany the nationally touring exhibition organized by Esker Foundation. The IAF has been watching this journey since the fall of 2016 when Aupilardjuk and Boyle worked together at Medalta, a museum, gallery and arts facility in Medicine Hat, AB, during a month-long ceramics residency. Earthlings features ceramics created by the two artists at this residency, alongside works from Roger Aksadjuak, Shuvinai Ashoona, Jessie Kenalogak, John Kurok and Leo Napayok.
