Terrance Houle: Road Warrior by Murray Whyte

Hello Everyone

I wanted to write something about a recent tragedy in my family, with the Death of my young uncle, Darren Houle. I am writing to express my sadness and sorrow for his wife and children and our family for such a loss of an amazing person. It is with deep sadness I write this as I have always viewed my uncle Darren as one of my older brothers, he was one of the youngest of my fathers siblings and was close in age to my oldest brother Lenny. I grew up living across the prairies and powwow dancing or visiting both of my parents Community in Sandy Bay (father) and the Blood Reserve (mothers). we would regularly visit my fathers family in Sandy Bay growing up, and I always remember my uncle Darren being so kind, thoughtful and close to my siblings and I. we never grew up on the rez and my uncle always tried to show us how to hunt, trap, fish, cook, swim, teach us Saulteaux along with so much other things and basically be a big brother to us. I always admired how much he knew about life, being a father, and family. He would call me often in the past few years just to chat and talk about life and how everyone was doing. He instilled in me to learn my fathers language and to pursue my culture to its fullest. He was so damn encouraging it hurts just to think about him. He came to Winnipeg to visit me while I was setting up my exhibit GIVN'R 2009 and we went for beers and chatted for hours. The last time he called me he told me how great things were and how much love he had for his family, he told me how proud he was about my career and how he followed everything i did much like my other uncles did. I will always value what he said to me through life and all the things he taught me, shared with me and the moments we conversed, especially growing up. I am sending my prayers to him, his family and our family. I know he is in the great hunting grounds with the one's he loved shining down watching everyone with that great big smile he always had.
I miss you Darren

Love your Nephew Terrance

Hello everyone
Sorry for the lack of posts and information. I have been trying to take it easy the last couple weeks and recoup from last year and various other things. Mainly just trying to come down from a stressful year of 2010 which saw me do so many shows and go through so much shit such as divorce, Gallery shenanigans such as not being paid on time or at all, dealing with a fucked up Calgary Art scene and whole whack of jealous ridiculous rumors and idiot people over the last year and such.
.
OK so enough about that! I am posting that I will be in Regina, Saskatchewan @ the First Nations University of Canada Gallery along with http://www.facebook.com/Sakewewak

to perform Iinniiwahkiimah: Buffalo Herder. here is a full press releases:

Thanks

Hello everyone,
I hope everyone is having a great fall like I am. I ahda wicked Rad Summer this year were I was in Nelson , BC for a residency with Oxygen Art Centre were I produced 4 shows (2 exhibits, 2 Performance Nights), with Lucid 44 coming in on the the performance nights. I was also in Toronto at the AGYU in July for the Install of GIVN'R which Opened last week with a new performance work w/ TO Artist Matt Crookshank on Opening night. The show was such a treat for me as it opened in Toronto the same time my friends film FUBAR 2 had opened which was at TIFF the Thursday before. also a great review article appeared in the Toronto Star by Murray Whyte: HERE. I ahve to thanks The curators Anthony (Plug-in)   AGYU's Emily, Philip & Suzanne as well as staff who all made the show possible and look fantastic in the space at York University. The opening Followed another opening the next day in NYC at the National Museum of the American Indian: Hide exhibit - The Urban Indian Series & The Metrosexual Indian are int his show. On Friday the day after I was lucky to go to new Re-Opening of the Southern Alberta Art Gallery for the show On Your Marks, new work Friend or Foe is here, this show had some of my Fave Alberta Artists in it like daid Hoffas and Faye Heavyshield...among others. So far the last four or so months have been going fantastic, ive met so many great people and had the best times performing, visiting and geting back into my life & career. On a side note I have also been spending as much time as I can with my little Neko and my Parents, my mother had a stem cell transplant a few months ago. It was her second transplant and everything went well and she is doing great.. I owe my parents so much for all of there knowledge, wisdom, strength and direction they have given Neko and I especially over the last year.
coming up.. I will be in Prince Albert, Sask, for a performance with the 2 Story Cafe from IPAC ( Indigenous People Art Collective) were I will be doing an all new work "Iiniiwahkiimah: Buffalo Herder" comes from my residency at Oxygen in Nelson BC. The New work along with Friend or Foe will also Be in Ottawa in Late October Iiniiwahkiimah being at Gallery 101  (in collaboration w/ Sakewewak ) and Friend or Foe curated by Daina Warren (Aboriginal Curator in Residence @ NAG). I will also be back in Toronto in Nov for the catalog lauch of GIVN'R produced by Plug-In Institute of contemporary Art, Thunder Bay Art Gallery and Art Gallery of York University. so watch out. I am still confirming more shows/performance and will post as I go along.
