“Projects: Gabrielle L’Hirondelle Hill” Exhibition

The Museum of Modern Art

This event has ended.

The Museum of Modern Art presents Projects: Gabrielle L’Hirondelle Hill, the artist’s first solo museum exhibition in the United States. On view in the Museum’s street-level galleries, the exhibition also celebrates the 50th anniversary of MoMA’s Elaine Dannheisser Projects Series. Hill, a Métis artist and writer, has assembled multiple works in which her use of tobacco as a key material alludes to the plant’s complex Indigenous and colonial histories. The exhibition features sculptures and drawings, including several new works, constructed primarily from tobacco along with other sourced and found materials collected from her Vancouver neighborhood.

Organized by Lucy Gallun, Associate Curator, Department of Photography.
