Ukjese
Van Kampen - 24" 30" Acrylic on Canvas 2000 |
Ukjese VanKampen relies on stereotypes
common to popular conceptions of �Indian-ness�. �Call U Metis?� is inspired
by the artist�s find of a rusty Calumet baking powder tin. In the accompanying
painting the original packaging is interpreted. The Calumet brand becomes
�Call U Metis?,� and �Double-Acting� becomes �Indian Act.�
