Contemporary Native American Art - Reflections after Lewis & Clark |  |
The Montana Museum of Art and Culture is pleased to announce Contemporary Native American Art - Reflections after Lewis & Clark, a national traveling exhibit of contemporary Native American art. It is the museum's primary objective to present the viewpoints of Native American artists about the Corps of Discovery Expedition and the Lewis & Clark Bicentennial.
No interpretation or presentation of the Lewis & Clark subject can be complete without acknowledging the enormous contributions made by Native Americans toward the success of the expedition. Contemporary Native American Art - Reflections after Lewis & Clark is designed as an opportunity for Native American artists to present the history of the Lewis & Clark expedition from a Native American viewpoint and to express their views on the bicentennial.
Artworks by nationally and internationally recognized artists including Jane Ash Poitras (Collections: Brooklyn Museum, NY, National Gallery Ottawa), Corwin Clairmont (Collections: Montana Museum of Art & Culture, Eiteljorg Museum, Indianapolis, IN), Lillian Pitt (Collection: Portland Convention Center, Oregon), Jaune Quick-to-See Smith (Collections: Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY; Museum of Mankind, Vienna, Austria), and Duane Slick (Collection: Spenser Museum of Art, Lawrence, Kansas) among others will be featured. The exhibit is supported by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Montana Committee for the Humanities.
On April 26, 2005 Native American Artists - After Lewis & Clark will debut at The Montana Museum of Art and Culture at The University of Montana in Missoula, where it will remain on display through June 26, 2005. Admission is free. It will then travel nationally through December 2007, being on public display during the years of the Lewis and Clark bicentennial when a number of ""signature events"" are planned at sites along the Trail.
In it's entirely, the exhibition will include 31 paintings, prints, photographs, sculptures and installations by 19 artists. Accompanying the exhibit is a major publication reproducing the artworks in full color with scholarly essays and biographies by nationally renowned Native American authors Kathleen Ash-Milby, Walter Fleming, and Gail Tremblay.
