\nKyle Williams: Ka\u2019shatst\u00e9nhsera
\nCurator: MC Snow<\/p>\n

She:kon Gallery (BACA project space)
\n5826, St-Hubert
\nTio\u2019tia:ke (Montr\u00e9al), QC<\/p>\n

We invite you on August 14 at 2:00 p.m. for the launch of the Ka\u2019shatst\u00e9nhsera exhibition in the presence of the artist and the curator.<\/p>\n

The inauguration of this new program will be with a solo exhibition by Kyle Williams, artist from Kahnawake. The artist will present a few series of his work in portraiture and landscape, accompanied by MC Snow who is carrying out their first mandate as an exhibition curator.<\/p>\n

\u201cKyle paints giant concrete structures that occupy the environment: towers, viaducts and bridges, all icons that obscure and cast their shadows over much of Mohawk territory. But instead of the gray gloom one might expect, the artist’s interpretation of these gigantic and menacing structures reveals rugged beauty. As if cement and metal scaffolding had a soul, Williams found a way to express it. The proud ironworkers, bridge builders and hardworking families of Kanienk\u00e9\u2019h\u00e0:ka eagerly await Williams to immortalize our city on canvas; me too.\u2019\u2019 MC Snow<\/p>\n

Kyle Kaient\u00f3:ton Williams is a young Kanien’keh\u00e1:ka artist from the Mohawk territory of Kahnaw\u00e0:ke. Multidisciplinary artist, his most common practice is drawing and more recently painting. Its cityscapes often represent gigantic structures that rival the natural landscape, such as bridges, reinforced concrete mega-structures and skyscrapers. These are spaces that have a strange resonance for the artist, between the destruction of the landscape and the pride of the ironworkers of the community. He holds an Arts Studies degree from Dawson College (2014) and undertook a major in painting at Concordia University.<\/p>\n

MC Snow is a Kanien’keh\u00e1:ka artist from the Mohawk territory of Kahnaw\u00e0:ke. Their main practice is sculpture and installation. MC holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Ottawa (1987). Their works have been presented in individual and group exhibitions in Quebec and in the United States: in his community, through the network of Maisons de la culture de la Ville de Montreal and at the Biennial of Contemporary Native Art. The Ka\u2019shatst\u00e9nhsera exhibition is his first experience as a curator.<\/p>\n

Galerie She:kon, which means “hello” in Kanien’k\u00e9h\u00e0, focuses on showcasing solo exhibitions by up-and-coming Indigenous artists. This initiative aims to uncover fresh talent and provide an opportunity for those interested in curating their first exhibition.<\/p>\n
