Bill Reid: Beyond the Essential Form

Series consists of two photographic prints made by photographer Ulli Steltzer. Both images were used in Duffek’s book Bill Reid: Beyond the Essential Form, which was published as part of the Museum Note series in conjunction with the Museum of Anthropology’s 1986 exhibition of the same name. One image is from the pole raising ceremony for one of Reid’s pole at Skidegate in 1978. The other shows a canoe carved by Reid being paddled at Skidegate in April 1986.

Multiplicity: A New Cultural Strategy

The sub-series contains materials relating to the exhibit Multiplicity: A New Cultural Strategy, for which Duffek was the exhibition coordinator and Robert Houle was the guest curator. The exhibition took place from December 1993 through May of 1994. The exhibition featured works by contemporary First Nations artists who question the concept of the “other.” Records consist of articles, exhibit text and labels, internal reports, correspondences, artist biographies, and a report based on visitor interviews.

Research Project series

This series consists of records collected for a research project, which involved documenting the Northwest Coast objects within German museums. In June of 1989 Duffek went to Berlin to photograph a portion of the collection of Northwest Coast artifacts collected by Johan Adrian Jacobsen from 1881-1883. This collection is predominantly at Berlins Museum Für Völkeskunde (now called the Ethnologiesches Museum Berlin, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin Preussischer Kulturbesitz). On this trip, she also visited the Hamburg Museum fur Volkerkund, Museum fur Nolkerkunde in Lubeck, the Nationalmuseet in Kopenhagan, and the Statens Ethnografiska Museum in Stockholm. Marjorie Halpin got a UBC research grant and hired Duffek as a research assistant although Duffek initiated the project itself. The series consists of notes, slides, contact sheets and negatives for the project.

Bill Reid: “Gathering Strength”

The records in this sub-series relate to the semi-permenant exhibition Gathering Strength, which took place after Bill Reid passed away in 1998. Karen Duffek curated the Haida metalwork component of the exhibition, and aided in the development of the accompanying electronic component as well. The exhibition was on display from 2000 through 2004. Records relate to exhibition development and planning, educational and display materials, and correspondence.
