A major solo exhibition of Robert's new work: 

"Robert Davidson:  The Abstract Edge"

Opening Tuesday, June 22, 2004 at the UBC Museum of Anthropology

Closing January 30, 2005 before beginning a tour organized by the National Gallery of Canada.

Organized by UBC Museum of Anthropology and curated by Karen Duffek, Curator of Art.

A 64-page catalogue will be published in English and French to accompany the exhibit.  It will contain essays by Karen Duffek and Robert Houle, as well as photographs of works in the exhibit.
 
The exhibit will feature new works by Robert Davidson, as well as works dating back to 1983, in which he explores concepts of Haida abstraction.  There will be about 30 works in the show, including paintings on canvas, paper, and deerskin drums; sculptures and low-relief carvings in cedar; and three new aluminum sculptures.  As well, several 19th-century bentwood dishes, whose abstract compositions inspired Robert's inquiry, will be borrowed from North American museums for this exhibit.
