This exhibition, curated by Rachel Gotlieb and Michael Prokopow for the Gardiner Museum in Toronto, explores more than seven decades of Nordic aesthetic influence on Canadian design. Examining the ways that modern Scandinavian design was introduced to Canada and how its aesthetic principles and material forms were adopted and adapted by Canadian artisans and designers, True Nordic presents a comprehensive, critical survey of Canadian furniture, ceramics, textiles, metalwork, and glassware.
