As part of its fall season announcement, the Vancouver Art Gallery has unveiled plans for a retrospective of American performance-and-photography pioneer Cindy Sherman—Canada's first in 20 years.

Opening on October 26 and running to March 8, the major exhibit comes here directly from London's National Portrait Gallery and then heads to Paris's Louis Vuitton Foundation afterward.

The show will feature work dating back to the 1970s, including the complete Untitled Film Stills, a seminal series of 70 black-and-white photographs using Sherman herself as the model and aimed at subverting stereotypes of women in media.

Elsewhere this autumn, the VAG is preparing to open Transits and Returns on September 28. The exhibit traces the "roots and routes" that shaped the practices of 21 Indigenous artists from here and as far away as New Zealand and Australia. B.C.–based participants include Debra Sparrow and T'uy't'tanat Cease Wyss. Media span textiles, photography, video, and installation.

Offsite, from September 20 to February 23, look for Vienna-based artist Erwin Wurm's humour-laced sculptural figures.
