Entwined Histories: The Maisie Hurley Collection, January 23 to August 23, North Vancouver Museum
Though she wasn’t Native, Maisie Hurley (1887-1962) spent most of her career as an advocate for B.C.’s Aboriginal people, invited to join the Native Brotherhood of B.C., and founder of the Native Voice newspaper. Throughout the years, Hurley received many gifts from Native leaders in recognition of her advocacy work, and the gifts form the basis of an exhibition of artifacts and artworks from Squamish and Coast Salish cultures at the North Vancouver Museum. The collection includes a blanket made of mountain goat wool and another, more mysterious fibre. Tested at the University of Victoria, researchers discovered the fibres were from a unique breed of “wool dog” raised by the Coast Salish until the 1860s, dating the blanket from before the main period of contact. The Museum is exhibiting the blanket with a new blanket by Squamish weaver Keith Nahanee, and cedar bark regalia made by Nahanee’s cousin Tracy Williams. Co-curators Sharon Fortney and Damara Jacobs will also incorporate oral history interviews and videos with Squamish Nation elders into the exhibition, which will later tour B.C. and form the basis of a book to be published by the Squamish. — Janet Nicol STARFISH GALLERY & STUDIO 1108-115 Fulford Ganges Rd, Grace Point Square Salt Spring Island, BC V8K 1T9 T. 250-537-4425 andrea@starfishgalleryandstudio.com www.starfishgalleryandstudio.com Recently opened, the gallery offers regular exhibitions of fine art, photography and sculpture by artists Diana Dean, Stefanie Denz, Anais La Rue, Morley Myers, Birgit Bateman and owner Andrea Collins.

There’s an Alex Colville quality to the natural landscapes of Mong Yen, on exhibition in Quiet Path at Coquitlam’s Place des Arts February 10 to March 5. Dotted with solitary man-made objects, they have a sense of quiet and windswept distance in them. Originally from Cambodia, Mong arrived in Canada via refugee camps in Vietnam, and now spends his time painting unexpected landscapes around his Coquitlam home. ABOVE: Mong Yen, Quiet Path, egg tempera on canvas, 2010.
