The Artlab Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition titled “Continuing Accountability” by current Indigenous Artist-In-Residence Kelly Greene. Presented in partnership with the Office of Indigenous Initiatives and the Department of Arts and Humanities, this exhibit brings together work completed by Greene over the course of her nearly thirty year artistic career.
ARTIST STATEMENT:
This exhibit is a continuation of my exhibit “Accountability” that was briefly on display at McIntosh Gallery for a week in March, 2020 before everything shut down. But “Accountability” has another meaning besides referring to the previous exhibit, as this word was and is the premise for both shows, since it encompasses the concepts of the artworks.
Some topics include alternative viewpoints of historic occurrences once viewed as celebratory by most, though now wondering when history books will be changed. And since recent revelations have been made of resulting conditions from enforced ownership, we may question how reparation can be made.
Yet despite it all, somehow Indigenous cultures, traditions, and languages are still alive. Although they’ve struggled to remain alive, the onus to pass knowledge from one generation to the next is imperative so nothing more will be lost.
Moreover, it is the responsibility all humans must now offer to care for our Earth, our Mother, who has endured much devastation especially during the past century after the industrial revolution and the rise of technological advancements. We are now in a position to make drastic changes to ensure that the future may somehow be free from the current conditions we’re experiencing, resulting from us making strides without heed of repercussions.
My hope is we’ll be able to outrun the machine we’ve created.
Kelly Greene is a multi-media artist whose work includes painting, sculpture, installation, and photography. She is of Mohawk-Oneida-Sicilian ancestry, a member of the Six Nations of the Grand River Reserve, and a descendant of the Turtle Clan.
Greene has lived in London, Ontario since 1989 where she obtained a BFA from the University of Western Ontario. She began her visual art studies at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, where she moved with her family when she was a child.
She has exhibited in Canada and the United States for over thirty years in solo and group exhibits, primarily at the Woodland Cultural Centre in Brantford, Ontario but also Banff, Alberta; Vancouver, B.C.; Montreal, Quebec; Ottawa, Thunder Bay, Toronto, and London, Ontario; Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Howes Cave, New York. Her work is in numerous public and private collections, and in 2012 and 2015 she was commissioned to complete two permanent outdoor installations at the Woodland Cultural Centre. She has been awarded grants from the Canada Council for the Arts and the Ontario Arts Council and was most recently awarded the first Indigenous Artist in Residence at Western University in 2021.
Her art focuses primarily on environmental and political topics, as well as revealing stereotypes that are still prevalent towards Indigenous cultures, using ironic humour when possible. Recognizing the impact colonization has had on our Earth and the First People who have always lived on the land now known as Canada, Greene specifically refers to the Haldimand Treaty granted to the people of Six Nations, as well as the Mohawk Institute Residential School, or “Mush Hole”, where her beautiful Grandma attended in the 1920’s. Another concern is Colony Collapse Disorder, or the current plight of bees vanishing due to pesticides and monoculture. The ever-alarming condition of our planet has inspired Greene to create works that represent our Mother Earth as human, appealing to our species’ egocentricity, hoping empathy will be instilled and respect given so future generations will continue to be revived and thrive.

these agendas, with a focus on young people.

The session will open brief opening remarks from the Government of Kenya, UN Women’s

representative from a member state in a form of open dialogue, setting the stage context for the
event. This will then be followed by a moderated intervention involving 4 panelists drawn from
amongst young women and men gender equality activists working in various sectors from around
the country. These 5-minute interventions will highlight their engagements with gender issues;
how they are organizing to address these challenges and areas they wish to see more
commitment. The session will then open up for responses from UN Women, the government and
member states present. Engagement with the audience will then follow. The moderator may
share some overall guiding points for the open discussion to drive it towards conclusive
recommendations that can be plugged into the ongoing Beijing+25 conversations. The ED

Continuing with the comic book theme...
(Background image shamelessly pulled from the Internet. I only added the WikiLeaks logo and the large text. Abe and Spidey WERE actually keeping a watchful eye on this disgraceful Obama character!)
And here's an appropriate Lincoln quote for these times of mob mentality:
“America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.”
Sometimes it feels really good to lie like this, especially after a workout.
I am feeling a push to work out again, thankfully. Not so thankfully is that the push is coming from almost having a meltdown. It was a combination of hormones and my jeans not fitting comfortably. But I'm really sick of my baby gut. And I have some really awesome pants in my closet that I would really like to wear, but my ass is huge right now.
It doesn't help that I like to bake and make things like potato chips and take work breaks to the Japanese-style fro-yo place, but it's a start. (At least it is fro-yo, right?)

This is just a way to put it graphically out there ^^
