Jeffrey Gibson: THE SPIRITS ARE LAUGHING
Aspen Art Museum, Aspen, Colorado, USA
Jeffrey Gibson’s practice mixes Indigenous aesthetic histories with the visual language of Modernism to explore culture, history, and identity. This exhibition and related performance Jeffrey Gibson: 'THE SPIRITS ARE LAUGHING' evolves out of conversations around Indigenous kinship philosophy—the idea of seeing the land as an extension of one’s own family or oneself, and prioritises looking at everything in our surroundings as an equal living entity. A member of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians and of Cherokee descent, Gibson’s work both acknowledges and embraces these perspectives.
