Presentation Details
Fazakas Gallery, a specialist in contemporary Indigenous art, will dedicate a solo presentation to the Kwakwaka'wakw multimedia artist Rande Cook. Based in Victoria, British Columbia, and a hereditary chief of the Ma’amtagila people, Cook preserves ancestral stories and teachings through new material contexts. His practice enfolds culture, science, and a collective response to the land his forebears have occupied and stewarded for thousands of years. Cook’s work invokes a sense of urgency around rising resource extraction on the Pacific Northwest Coast, particularly the loss of old-growth forests through industrial logging.
About the Gallery
Fazakas Gallery was founded in 2012 with a primary mandate to support the exhibition, critical analysis, and considered acquisition of contemporary Indigenous art. We work with established Northwest Coast artists, including Beau Dick, Rande Cook, and Don Yeomans, as well as emerging and mid-career artists such as Audie Murray, Jason Baerg, Couzyn van Heuvelen, and Corey Bulpitt.
