A rough old light fixture dangles low from the sky-high ceiling of the Fudger Rotunda at the Art Gallery of Ontario. Look down and you’ll see the shadow thrown by the light: of the familiar criss-cross of a Union Jack. They took the spotlight, while Stimson’s history was relegated to the dark. The fixture, recovered from Old Sun Indian Residential School in Saskatchewan, shatters a long-held barrier between official history and not, imposing itself alongside the gallery’s signature piece. Old Sun is on view at the Art Gallery of Ontario’s Fudger Rotunda.
