Abstract

ARTH 324/Canadian Art and Cultural Identity culminates in a final project of either an essay or curatorial report. As an aspiring art historian and curator, I chose to develop a curatorial report, which involved creating an electronic exhibition of artworks that were researched throughout the semester.

I am very interested in Regina-based art history and especially the “Regina Clay” ceramic folk art movement. My electronic exhibition included a return to the “Canada Trajectoires ‘73” exhibition, which was held in Paris in 1973 and involved a number of ceramists connected to Regina Clay. I obtained the French-language exhibition catalogue, written by Suzanne Page, through the Archer Library. The catalogue significantly informed my report, entitled “Regina 1973: Trajectories in Clay.”
