The Medicine Project

Online exhibition, grunt gallery, Vancouver Canada, 2008

Welcome to the Medicine Project. This site is the fourth installment in a series of websites grunt has produced over the past four years.

[…]

Our new project, Medicine, looks at Aboriginal notions of medicine and how they influence the lives of First Nations people and artists today. But the lessons they teach us about living within the world have resonances far beyond the First Nations’ communities. As the environmental crisis looms larger, holistic ideas of living in the world become more and more important to our wellbeing and to our survival. The artists in Medicine all embrace more holistic views of the world than we see in most western cultures, and notions of healing in many different forms resound in the work.
