Looking forward to visiting the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth to see Jaune Quick-to-See Smith's exhibition.
From Jaune's website: "I am a cultural arts worker because I, not only, paint, do printmaking, some sculpture, draw, make collage, do public art, but I am also an independent teacher/professor and activist. I lecture, teach printmaking workshops, jury, curate, write and organize exhibitions for the Native community. In my work I use humor and satire to present narratives on ethical treatment of animals, humans and our planet. My work is philosophically centered by my strong traditional Salish beliefs."
“Jaune Quick-to-See Smith: Memory Map” opens at the Modern on October 15, in less than two weeks.
Organized by the Whitney Museum of American Art, this retrospective brings together nearly fifty years of Jaune Quick-to-See Smith’s drawings, prints, paintings, and sculptures. Across decades and mediums, Smith (b. 1940, citizen of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Nation) has deployed and reappropriated ideas of mapping, history, and environmentalism while incorporating personal and collective memories. The retrospective offers new frameworks in which to consider contemporary Native American art and shows how Smith has led and initiated some of the most pressing dialogues surrounding land, racism, and cultural preservation—issues at the forefront of contemporary life and art today.
