Jaune Quick-to-See Smith: Memory Map<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, New York, USA
19 April-13 August 2023<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

“Jaune Quick-to-See Smith: Memory Map” is a recognition of a groundbreaking artist\u2019s work. For nearly five decades, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, a citizen of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Nation, has charted an exceptional and unorthodox career as an artist, activist, curator, educator, and advocate. The exhibition highlights how Smith uses her drawings, prints, paintings, and sculptures to flip commonly held historical narratives and illuminate absurdities in the dominant culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Memory Map” is the largest and most comprehensive showcase of Smith\u2019s career, featuring more than one hundred thirty works. Organized thematically across the Museum\u2019s third and fifth floors, the exhibition offers a new framework to consider contemporary Native American art, addressing how Smith has led and initiated some of the most pressing dialogues around land, racism, and cultural preservation. It celebrates the artist\u2019s dedication to creativity and community and emphasizes her deep political commitments, essential and potent reminders of our responsibilities to the earth and each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

War Is Heck<\/em> by Jaune Quick-to-See Smith
58.5625″x57.625″; lithograph, photolithograph, and collage; 2002. Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; gift of Dorothee Peiper-Riegraf and Hinrech Peiper 2006.287. \u00a9 Jaune Quick-to-See Smith<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Smith engages with modern and contemporary modes of artmaking, from an idiosyncratic adoption of abstraction to American Pop art to Neo-Expressionism. She reimagines these artistic traditions with concepts rooted in her own cultural practice to examine contemporary life in America and interpret it through Native ideology. Since the 1970s, Smith has built a visual language that includes recurring imagery, such as trade canoes, horses, bison, and flags, and common materials like newspaper, fabric, and commercial objects. Throughout her works, she addresses urgent concerns of ecological disaster, the misreading of history, and the genocide of Native Americans, while also evoking the power of kinship and education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
