About the Item

inkjet print on paper, framed edition 7 of 10 For over thirty years Dominique Blain has examined and addressed the links between relationships of domination, such as racism, mass indoctrination, genocide, war, exploitation, and imperialism. “People often ask why I, a white North American woman from Montréal, get involved when I have no experience of war, “ Blain says. “The question surprises me because I’m in a position to take a stand.” Her most recent body of work pursues the bleakest and harshest subject matter, including the vast and diverse body of masterpiece works that have been victims of theft, looting, or destruction. Dominique Blain’s visual vocabulary draws the viewer into her process of questioning, allowing the viewer to participate non-confrontationally in a dialogue on the nature of war, power, and freedom. Her work calls into question our privileged and unique role as witnesses. Blain’s work is included in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Nickels Art Museum in Canada, Musee national des beaux-arts du Quebec in Canada, Musee des beaux-arts du Canada, Musee des beaux-arts de Montreal in Canada, Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art in Arizona, Air Canada, among many, many others.

ROSALINA (BACK)
By Ruby Rumie
Located in New York, NY
inkjet print on satin paper, laminted in luster matte. Edition of 5 This body of work was born from a chance encounter between the artist, Ruby Rumié, and Dominga Torres Tehran, a woman who for more than 45 years has walked the city streets selling fish. Dominga caught the attention of the artist for her unique and natural beauty. For nearly half a century this woman worked unnoticed, but at that moment, she completely captivated Rumié. Weaving Streets is an attempt to rescue women like Dominga from oblivion and invisibility - women who have spent valuable years of their lives as ambulant street vendors, permanently wandering the neighborhoods of the city. Aptly named, “Weaving Streets” references the phrase used by grandmothers to describe those who walked the city streets often. Rumié’s goal is to present new views on the vendors and their environment. The viewer’s encounter with these women will be different for the exhibition – it will be special. Viewers will see for the first time what has always been there, like running a thin veil between the visible and the invisible, a veil of old and constant stereotypes that keep us numb, or blind, so we ignore the marvelous and different realities. “Problems such as gender violence, gentrification, social barriers and discrimination constitute a constant concern which I attempt to uncover through my work, by means of large installations where I use repetition as a platform for protest; bodies as objects of mass consumption that reveal the disappearance of our intangible heritage, and photographs to suggest the enigma of social stratification, all of these intend to stimulate reflection, playfulness, visual pleasure, emotion and inquiry” explains Rumié. Rumié condenses the collected material into a Corpus, a historical archival manner, comprised of five volumes that unfold spatially in the gallery. Photo albums picturing each participant, stamp albums...
