I recently attended opening night of In/Sight 2010: A group show of contemporary art by American Indian Artists at Chelsea Art Museum. I couldn't wait to see this show...and was not disappointed when the time came.
FINALLY - what an amazing group of artists to give space, time, energy, and support to! This exhibition not only highlights a largely underrepresented group of talented and inspiring group of artists, but does so by presenting a little bit of every medium. It features painting, sculpture, photography, and mixed media.
I will say that I believe the curation itself could have been stronger, but overall this presentation is not only intellectually stimulating, but also socially necessary. We don't see enough contemporary art from this so very historically-specific and culturally stacked group of Americans. In/Sight 2010 definitely provides work rich with references specific to the Native-American experience and historically artistic elements.
Go see this exhibit at Chelsea Art Museum! I highly recommend it. The image above is called 'Coyote with Hotdog' by Steve Yazzie, 2009. Brilliant. Click here for info!
