Macaulay & Co.

Fine Art was founded in 2012 with a program focused on interdisciplinary, concept, space and politically based approaches in a variety of media. The artwork responds to the complex history of art on the West Coast and its relevance, such as work examining the cultural politics of First Nations identity in Canada. This awareness of Vancouver’s history and politics ultimately charges and contributes to the ongoing dialogue of art in Vancouver. Artists: Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun, Jeremy Shaw, Jonah Samson, Walter Scott, Robert Arndt, Judy Chartrand, Jeneen Frei Njootli, and Charlene Vickers.

DANA CLAXTON - New Work

Opening Saturday, October 17th, 2-4pm
macaulay + co, Vancouver

This month we celebrate two new bodies of work by Dana Claxton (Wood Mountain Lakota) in both our gallery spaces: Vancouver and Toronto. On view are new lens-based works that evoke the history of conceptual photography, while subverting art historical narratives by making space for new perspectives.

Ppresented is a new series of assemblage collage works that bring “fringe” into focus. By using “fringe” as a physical and conceptual framework, she investigates how photography can break free from static borders to embrace movement, fragmentation, and three-dimensional space. Over a thirty-year career in lens-based media, her studio has accumulated a dense visual archive of test strips and printed proofs on fabric, paper, and transparency film. While these studio archives served as the impetus and provided the material for initial proofs-of-concept, they have now become an entirely new body of work, as she fringes photography and creates sculptural reliefs.

The fringe is not a new motif for Dana; it is a thread that runs through her entire life and practice, rooted deeply in Lakota aesthetics. In Lakota material culture, fringe is profoundly versatile. It serves practical purposes—camouflaging a hunter in the tall prairie grass, shedding rainwater, or acting as material for repairs—but it also carries spiritual properties by embodying the movement of wind and the natural world. Wearing fringe connects you directly to earth through the soft brushing against the ground, grass, and stones. During Pow-wow, Grass Dancers emulate prairie grass through movement and swaying fringe, Fancy Shawl as butterflies, and Traditional with the swing of fringe. Dana states – “long live fringe!”

Catherine Blackburn + Jeneen Frei Njootli: Traces
September 25, 2026 — March 14, 2027
Polygon Gallery, North Vancouver
Curated by Serena Steel

Traces brings together the work of Dënesųłinë́ artist Catherine Blackburn, and Vuntut Gwichin artist Jeneen Frei Njootli. Through photographic works each artist captures the absence of a subject rather than the subject itself. Lingering traces of family histories and cultural knowledges remain on the flesh and in the concealment of it.

Nadia Myre: Analog/ues
Opening September 19, 2026 - January 17, 2027
Montclair Art Museum, Montclair, New Jersey
Curated by Laura J. Allen, Curator of Native American Art and Repatriation Coordinator
Nadia Myre: Analog/ues is the first major solo exhibition in the U.S. for celebrated Canadian Indigenous artist Nadia Myre. The exhibition probes the subtext of Native and non-Native documents and narratives through boundary-pushing multimedia works.
The exhibition features more than 40 of Myre’s works—including recent, large-scale, and never-before-seen pieces—with additional historical objects from MAM’s renowned Native American art collection. In these unsettled times, Myre’s art both exposes and expands the limits of how we communicate in order to navigate difficult histories and propose new possibilities for the future.

This series is part of an ongoing photographic study of garbage dumps in the Arctic. Taqralik approaches these sites through the lens of value — specifically, the dump’s value as a resource.
The dump is a visually harsh and toxic presence within the Arctic landscape. It also serves a practical function: communities across the North rely on these sites for reusable materials. In Inuit communities in Canada, the dump is referred to as “Canadian Tire,” reflecting its role as a source of usable goods.

Taqralik Partridge (b. 1975) is an Inuk and Scottish curator, artist and writer originally from Kuujjuaq, Nunavik. She is the former director of the Nordic Lab at SAW Gallery in Ottawa, and has worked as a curator for the Art Gallery Of Ontario, the Art Gallery of Guelph and independently.
Taqralik is the former Editor-at-large for the Inuit Art Quarterly. She has performed at festivals in Canada and internationally for more than 20 years; as both a spoken word poet and Inuit throat singer; and her visual and film work has been shown at exhibitions in North America, Australia, Norway, New Zealand and the UK. She currently lives with her family in Ottawa.

TORONTO ~ Touching Down / New works by Dana Claxton, Nadia Myre, Jeneen Frei Njootli, Taqralik Partridge, and Charlene Vickers

For our inaugural exhibition on Tecumseth Street in Toronto, we take a moment to consider both landing in a new space and joining a community. Art spaces at their best hold ground lightly, make room for new voices, and resist the tendency to calcify into institution. Some of the most important art spaces have been provisional — storefronts, temporary residencies, borrowed rooms — and to be provisional is not to be incomplete or uncommitted, it is instead to be ready - alert, responsive, and bringing what is needed. It is in this spirit that we touch down in Toronto.

Opening September 10th, 2026
6-9pm ~ Please join us!

This Summer, Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun was the Artist In Residence Libby Leshgold Gallery where he created the monumental 20 x18 foot painting “Global Warming: Wild Fire Storms”.

“Do you see three trees on fire? Do you see big fire flames? Do you see smoke? Do you see a fire storm? I have taken my culture and translated into western culture. If you see all these things, then you are experiencing this painting in your cultural language” ~Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun
