Button blanket performance

The Ring
Rebecca Belmore, former Audain Professor for UVic’s Visual Arts department, was recently announced as the winner of the 2013 Governor General’s Award in Visual and Media Arts. Belmore, the inaugural recipient of the Audain Professorship in Contemporary Art Practice of the Pacific Northwest back in 2010, has been challenging, confronting and engaging audiences with a variety of works representing the resistance of Indigenous peoples for 25 years now. Her award comes on the heels of news that 2012 Audain Professor Nicholas Galanin won both a $50,000 Rasmusin Fellowship and a separate $25,000 Eiteljorg Contemporary Art Fellowship within three months of each other.

The Ring
When it came to selecting an artist for the inaugural Audain Professorship in Contemporary Art Practice of the Pacific Northwest, the choice for Visual Arts department chair Daniel Laskarin was clear: it had to be Rebecca Belmore. “She’s a First Nations artist of substantial repute, a person with a strong international reputation who had represented Canada at the Venice Bienale, and one who could give our students the benefit of her skills and experience,” explains Laskarin.
