Bio:

Carl Beam was a Canadian Ojibwe artist who worked in a variety of media. His work sought to call attention to problems facing Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists, contemporary culture, and the tensions between Western and Indigenous cultures.

Beam was born in 1943 at M’Chigeeng First Nation, Manitoulin Island, Ontario, Canada. His mother, Barbara Migwans, was the Ojibwe daughter of Dominic Migwans, then the Chief of the Ojibwe of West Bay (later renamed M’Chigeeng First Nation). Beam’s father, Edward Cooper, was an American soldier from the 77th Regiment, Philadelphia, who died as a prisoner of war in Bad Soden, Germany during World War II. Beam was raised by his grandparents Dominic and Annie for most of his youth.

Beam’s character was recognized by his elders at a young age, and he was given the name “Ahkideh”, meaning “one who is brave” in the Ojibwe language. Between the age of ten to eighteen, he was sent to Garnier Residential School in Spanish, Ontario.

In the early 1960s, Beam met his first wife, with whom he had five children. He worked a variety of jobs, ranging from the construction of the Toronto subway to working as a millwright in Wawa, Ontario. In 1971, Beam began his formal education at the Kootenay School of Art in British Columbia. He transferred to the University of Victoria in 1973 and graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts. In 1976, he received his Masters of Fine Arts from the University of Alberta in Edmonton; after graduation he returned to Ontario.

In 1979, Beam married American-born artist Ann Elena Weatherby, a teacher at the Three Schools of Art in Toronto. They had a daughter together, Anong Migwans Beam. In 1980, Beam and his family moved to Arroyo Seco, New Mexico to live and work.

While in New Mexico, Beam was inspired by traditional ceramics and bowls created by the Anasazi and Mimbres people. Beam had been instructed in ceramic pottery while at the Kootenay School of Art, but had abandoned the medium earlier. However, these simple yet intricate designs full of turtles, snakes, birds and spirits inspired him and he began to create pottery work. Ravens were a common motif for Beam, as his family name derives from the word “migwans” which means “a little feather or bird.” 

Beam and his wife exhibited their ceramic work together, including a show at the Maxwell Museum of Anthropology, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque. 

Although Beam had achieved a level of success in the United States, in 1983 he returned to Canada, where he felt he had a more important contribution to make. The family moved to Peterborough, Ontario, and in 1984, Beam was asked to make the Thunder Bay Art Gallery’s first commissioned artwork. The resulting installation, “Exorcism,” became a turning point in his art career.

By adopting a mixed media approach to his work, Beam developed a new, unique style. Through his art, he was able to speak out against the unequal treatment of Indigenous people and to challenge the way we look at political and historical events. The Columbus Project, completed between 1989–1992, is the largest series of works to this effect. Beam examined how history remembered the accomplishments of Christopher Columbus while downplaying the devastating effects his arrival had on Indigenous people. 

The early 2000s saw Beam begin a new series, The Whale of Our Being”, which examined what Beam saw as the spiritual emptiness of modern society and its inability to live in harmony with the natural world. The series included photo emulsion works, sculptural constructions, works on paper and ceramics.

In 2001, the Beams, together with their daughter Anong, returned to working extensively with pottery, using painting techniques on glazeware. In 2004, the Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery in Waterloo, Ontario created a traveling exhibition of 50 ceramic pieces by Carl Beam, Ann Beam, and Anong Migwans Beam. This marked the first time all three exhibited together. It was also Carl’s last exhibition during his lifetime. Beam died on July 30, 2005 in his home at M'chigeeng Reserve on Manitoulin Island, Ontario from complications of diabetes.

Beam was the first artist of Indigenous ancestry to have his works purchased by the National Gallery of Canada. His work has been exhibited throughout North America, Italy, Denmark, Germany and China. It is currently found in major collections including the National Gallery of Canada, the Art Gallery of Ontario, the Vancouver Art Gallery and the Albright-Knox Gallery in Buffalo, New York. In 2000, Beam was inducted into the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts and received a Governor General’s Award in Visual and Media Arts in 2005.
