I AM SO UPSET thedailywhat: Courage Wolf As A Rug of the Day: Nicholas Galanin’s “Inert Wolf” puts a disquieting twist on the familiar wolf-skin rug. The piece is part of a traveling exhibiton on humanity’s environmental impact. He says: Mainstream society often looks at Indigenous or Native American art through a romantic lens, not allowing a culture like my Tlingit community room for creative sovereign growth. The back half of this piece is contained, a captured trophy or rug to bring into the home, while the front continues to move. It is sad and the struggle is evident. It is currently on display at Toronto Free Gallery through February, when it will be moved to Montreal’s Art Mur. [mmm.]
