Faculty News: Robin Wright

Art History Professor Robin Wright is on sabattical this academic year, working on a variety of projects. She and Katie Bunn-Marcuse (MA 1998, PhD 2007) are completing a book titled In the Spirit of the Ancestors: Reflections on Contemporary Northwest Coast Art, which sprang from a 2007 exhibit at the Burke Museum. Wright continues her research for the Skidegate House Model project, and she is beginning work for her stint as a guest curator at the Vancouver Art Gallery, developing a major exhibition on the work of Charles Edenshaw, a Haida artist who worked in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. That show is scheduled to open in autumn of 2012.
