Vibrant and immersive installations from the first Indigenous artist to represent the US with a solo exhibition at the Venice Biennale

Published with Portland Art Museum, SITE Santa Fe, BIG NDN PRESS, and Bard Center for Indigenous Studies.

This lush, comprehensive volume celebrates Jeffrey Gibson's US Pavilion exhibition at the 60th Venice Biennale. The text and visuals braid together important strands that shaped the installation, public programming and performances, highlighting the themes of inclusivity, community, dignity and tradition.
Framed by the pavilion and its activations, this volume unites innovative scholarship and criticism in original essays and in themes which emerged from the Institute of American Indian Arts' Venice Indigenous Arts School and the Bard Center for Indigenous Studies convening, all interrogating diverse topics and using Gibson's art and practice as their point of departure. Leading curators and critics engage with global exchanges and relationships emerging from Indigenous arts, intellectual and aesthetic traditions across Indigenous traditions, formal color study, as well as the complex, varied and rich references in Gibson's work. Featuring spectacular photography, including behind-the-scenes studio shots, and poetic and performance interventions, this inventive and informative publication is a necessary companion to any collection on Gibson, contemporary art and Indigenous aesthetics.
