Instagram, “These heart-shaped beaded flat bags are part of a larger tradition among tribes in the Columbia Plateau region, created for use within the community and for sale to outsiders.
One woman wears hair and makeup in keeping with the midcentury era in which the bags were made, while the other is dressed in tribal finery suitable for a parade, in which she might carry one or more of these bags while on horseback.”
–Kathleen Ash-Milby, Curator of Native American Art

Instagram, 🪷🌿 Just announced! Opening March 1, “Monet’s Floating Worlds at Giverny” is a new exhibition revealing Claude Monet’s newly restored “Waterlilies” and his inspiration from Japanese ukiyo-e prints.
Often referred to as ”pictures of the floating world,” ukiyo-e prints had a profound impact on Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art in France and the U.S., influencing bold perspectives, flat compositions, and printing techniques.
Featuring forty-five works, the exhibition begins with a recreation of Monet’s collection of Japanese masterpieces by artists like Toyokuni (Utagawa Kunisada), Utagawa Hiroshige, and Kitagawa Utamaro. The journey continues with responses to Japanese aesthetics by Mary Cassatt, Bertha Lum, Henri Rivière, and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and concludes with the Museum’s newly conserved “Waterlilies” and the story behind its restoration.

Instagram, “I’m telling my story here in this Pavilion, but ultimately my hope is that the audience can see themselves and see their own layers, their own intersections that happen in their lives.” –Jeffrey Gibson
Today marks the final day of “the space in which to place me” at the U.S. Pavilion of the Venice Biennale, but the impact of this exhibition will resonate far beyond.
It’s been an honor to witness @JeffRune make history as the first solo Indigenous artist to represent the U.S. Pavilion, amplifying Native and queer voices, histories, and presence on a global stage.
Thank you to Jeffrey, his studio, the curators and commissioners, participants, museum staff, educational partners, donors, and everyone who brought this visionary project to life!

Instagram, Thank you to @Hyperallergic for covering the October convening in Venice, “ if I read you what I wrote bear in mind I wrote it.”
Organized by the Center for Indigenous Studies at @BardCollege, practitioners, academics, artists, and theorists came together to address the interdisciplinary, transnational nature of Jeffrey Gibson's (@jeffrune) work in the U.S. Pavilion.
Programming was a key component throughout the exhibition, with a cohort of ten educators from Oregon and New Mexico formed to help bring Native American history and knowledge back into their communities at home.

Instagram, ⚡🔋 Recharge with the work of Corita Kent, who would have turned 106 today!
Kent was an artist and educator who used her work to advocate for social justice. She joined the Immaculate Heart of Mary at age 18, later leading its college art department.
Over time, her art shifted from religious themes to incorporating ads, song lyrics, and social issues like poverty and racism. She left the order in 1968, moving to Boston, where her work took on a more introspective style influenced by her secular life and health struggles.
