Rebecca Belmore: Fountain

Jessica Bradley, Jolene Rickard

Kamloops Art Gallery
The Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery,
The University of British Columbia
Canada Pavilion, Venice Biennale, 2005
ISBN 0-88865-634-3

Rebecca Belmore:
Fountain
Jessica Bradley
Jolene Rickard

Belmore's art, whether it is installation, video or photograph, has its basis in performance, a medium shared by old traditions and modern expression—medium both indigenous and international. Rebecca Belmore's work, Fountain, was conceived for the Canada Pavilion at the Venice Biennale.

Fountain deals with elementals or essences: fire + water = blood. The time is both now, in the industrialized landscape of North America, and in another zone, a time of creation, myth and prophecy.

Consecrated Medicine

Consecrated Medicine documents the artist's investigation into the spiritual and scientific significance of medicinal plants, an investigation that she has informally conducted most of her life as a First Nations person.

Rebecca Belmore: The Named and the Unnamed

James Luna, Charlotte Townsend-Gault

2003 Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery,
The University of British Columbia
ISBN 0-88865-628-9

Rebecca Belmore:
The Named and the Unnamed
James Luna
Charlotte Townsend-Gault

Rebecca Belmore's art takes place between sculpture, installation and performance. Her spare, exacting sense of form and presence is an expression of determination and power.

Two works in the exhibition The Named and the Unnamed, Vigil and blood on the snow, deal with two horrific histories drawing attention to a disproportionate number of missing women who are native.

The performance Vigil (June 23, 2002), was held at the corner of Gore Street and Cordova Street, Vancouver, and blood on the snow is a part of the Mendel Art Gallery's Permenant Collection.
