Description

Lori Blondeau: who do you think you are? examines the work of artist Lori Blondeau and her 2006 exhibition Grace, curated by Mendel Art Gallery's Chief Curator, Dan Ring. The Saskatoon-based artist is recognized internationally for her diverse artistic practice that employs cultural, critical and performative strategies which are informed by personal histories rooted in her First Nations heritage. Blondeau is most well-known for her performances that act as a commentary on stereotypes that continue to plague women of First Nations descent, exploring these stereotypes through satire in the hopes of rebalancing the public's perception of identity. This publication seeks to contribute to the growing understanding of the artist's complex practice.
