Putting into dialogue some 130 works by more than 45 creators from across generations and continents, the exhibition explores the contributions weaving and related techniques have made to abstraction, modernism’s pre-eminent art form.  

Beading is one of the defining mediums of contemporary Indigenous art on this continent, and this landmark exhibition brings much-needed critical attention to the breadth and impact of this practice.

Marking the centenary of his birth, the exhibition Riopelle: Crossroads in Time introduces Jean Paul Riopelle as a tireless experimenter and innovator, anchored in the contemporary realm.
