The McMichael Canadian Art Collection is proud to present Stan Douglas: Tales of Empire, a focused survey of the acclaimed Vancouver-based artist’s career. For over four decades, Douglas has been recognized as one of Canada’s most important contemporary artists, with a significant international reputation across Europe, the United States, and beyond.
Tales of Empire presents bodies of work by Douglas that examine various colonization efforts globally, over time—an enduring theme that shapes much of his work. Curated by McMichael Executive Director and Chief Curator Sarah Milroy, the exhibition brings together five major photographic series that reflect Douglas’s incisive investigations into history, memory, and the impress of empire on both landscapes and lives.
