Olga Korper Gallery is presenting works by Melanie Authier, Sandra Brewster and Katherine Takpannie as part of Northern Exposure, an initiative of the Consulate General of Canada in Los Angeles, highlighting Canadian contemporary art galleries.

“As part of L.A. Art Week, the CCA will open Northern Exposure, its inaugural Visual Arts program focused on contemporary Canadian artists and galleries. The Los Angeles exhibition is organized by LA-based curators Margot Ross and Michael Slenske. For this multimedia survey eight galleries were selected by a jury of top art professionals in Canada and the United States […] Los Angeles is considered, by many around the world, as the epicenter of the global art market and we could not imagine a better time to have this version of the CCA in LA.”

“Jean-François Bélisle, CEO & Director of the National Gallery of Canada, will be joining Consul General Shaikh in welcoming the Canadian galleries in Los Angeles. “Canadian contemporary art galleries, together with Canadian artists, are doing incredible work and gaining recognition in the global art scene. I am pleased that I can help bring more attention to these luminaries by way of our collaboration with the Consulate General of Canada in LA. Being able to highlight these works during the LA Art Week, the most jam-packed stretch of the year in the city’s arts calendar, is genuinely valuable.”
