Contemporary Studios For a
Contemporary Native Arts Program
|
|
IAIA recently unveiled plans for a new initiative:
"Contemporary Studios for a Contemporary Native Arts Program."
It has been launched to provide for upgrading and modernizing the Academic Building and the studios contained therein. The Academic Building, one of the oldest buildings on IAIA's Rancho Viejo campus, was dedicated in June of 2000. It houses what continues to be the core curriculum of the school: studios for ceramics, jewelry, photography, painting, and print-making; along with faculty offices, Artist-in-Residence studios, classrooms, and the
Balzer Contemporary Edge Gallery
, which hosts exhibitions of student, staff, and faculty artworks.
Since the building's opening almost 18 years ago, various upgrades have been occurred, but due to the age of the building there is now a need to replace or update equipment, furniture, work stations, lighting, flooring, power distribution, etc., for the studios, classrooms, and other rooms in the building. Upgrades will also include new rolling worktables, shelving, a new welding table and band saws, flat-screen monitors, a new pugmill, and refinishing of flooring.
The projected costs for the program are expected to be approximately $300,000, which will not require a capital campaign to fund.
With the construction of a number of new buildings on the IAIA Campus over the last 18 years, the campus has emerged as one of the most attractive set of academic and student facilities in the region.
The Library and Technical Center, The Center for Lifelong Education, The Barbara and Robert Ells Science and Technology Building, The Allan Houser Haozous Sculpture and Foundry
, and the
Residence Center
have been constructed to define the academic center of campus.

IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts Opens
New Exhibitions
|
On February 16th, the IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts held an opening reception for the following exhibitions:
Rolande Souliere: Form and Content
Working across painting, sculpture, photography, collage and recently screen printing,
Rolande Souilere's
(Michipicoten First Nation) art practice is primarily installation that combines abstraction with organic forms, the hand crafted and the assisted readymade. Through the use of Ojibway, Cree, and Inuit syllabics, Souliere utilizes aspects of this writing system to engage in ideas about space, color, form, symbolism, surface movement, and language. Her new wall painting is an exploration into the parallels and the multifaceted ways in which simple geometric building blocks such as chevrons, circles, and rectangles have a profound affinity with Indigenous language and culture and abstraction in western art.
Without Boundaries: Visual Conversations
Without Boundaries
is an exhibition that grew out of a series of Curated Conversations led by guest curator and
artist
Sonya Kelliher-Combs
(Iñupiaq/Athabaskan) at the Anchorage Museum, Anchorage, Alaska. The exhibition features Indigenous leaders in the arts and the work of contemporary artists whose work encourages social action. The artworks explore issues from decolonization to climate change. Kelliher-Combs has brought together artists from North America and Greenland to create a shared visual narrative and a shared conversation about ideas and issues that separate and bind.
Art & Activism: Selections from The Harjo Family Collection
This exhibition highlights works from the Harjo Family Collection.
Suzan Harjo
recently donated this major art collection to the IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts, and it contains about sixty artworks. Many of these works were purchased by or gifted to Suzan Shown Harjo (Cheyenne/Hodulgee Muscogee), an important American Indian activist, lobbyist, policy maker, and 2011 recipient of an IAIA Honorary Doctorate. All of the artists represented are significant to the field of Contemporary Native American Art.
Breaking Ground: IAIA 2018 BFA Exhibition
The Institute of America Indian Art's 2018 BFA thesis exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Native Arts showcases the diversity of work being created by the artists trained at IAIA. The selected works by these artists are grounded in ideas of personal, political, social, cultural, or historical import and an earnest exploration of the artists' chosen media. This combination produces works that present each artist's unique voice while highlighting some shared concerns.

IAIA MFA Alumna and Instructor Terese Mailhot’s Book Featured in
The New York Times
|
Terese Mailhot
(Seabird Island Band) MFA '16, and her memoir
Heart Berries
continue to make news – especially now that the book is available. Below is an excerpt from an article in the
New York Times
by Parul Sehgal.
Heart Berries
Shatters a Pattern of Silence
Don’t be fooled by the title. Terese Marie Mailhot’s memoir, published under the romantic, rather forgettable name “Heart Berries,” is a sledgehammer. In a book slender enough to slide into your back pocket, Mailhot reckons with the wages of intergenerational trauma. She grew up on Seabird Island Indian Reservation in British Columbia. Members of her family had passed through Canada’s brutal residential school system, which separated indigenous children from their families and cultures, and, in some cases, subjected them to physical and sexual abuse.
Additionally, the book was recently named to the
NY Times
12 books we recommend this week – 2/8/18,
Book Riot
– Must Read February releases
, and
Bookpage
Top Pick in Nonfiction Feb. 2018.

IAIA Alumnus T.C. Cannon's Works to Tour
|
IAIA recently loaned key works by seminal artist and IAIA Alumnus,
T.C. Cannon
'66, to the Peabody Essex Museum (PEM) for their upcoming exhibition:
T.C. Cannon: At the Edge of America
.
Tommy Wayne ('T.C.') Cannon grew up in a rural farming community in southeastern Oklahoma, raised by his Kiowa father and Caddo mother. America's cultural revolution was ablaze when Cannon left home in 1964 to begin his journey as an artist at the newly minted experimental arts-based school,
IAIA
, where he began to address and rethink-on the stage of Western art history-the political narratives between Native Americans and the U.S. Government.
The Peabody Essex Museum
presents
T.C. Cannon: At the
Edge of America
– on view at PEM from March 3, 2018 through
June 10, 2018 – which explores the dynamic creative range and legacy of an artist whose life was cut short at age 31. Through nearly 90 works, including 30 major paintings, works on paper, poetry, and musical recordings. After PEM the exhibition will head to the
Gilcrease Museum
,Tulsa, OK, from July 14 through October 7, 2018; then to the
National Museum of the American Indian
(NMAI), New York, NY, from March 16 - September 16, 2019.
This is the first major traveling exhibition of his work since 1990. Deeply personal yet undeniably political, Cannon's artwork adeptly channels his cultural heritage, experience as a Vietnam War veteran, and the turbulent social and political climate that defined 1960s and '70s America. Amid ongoing national and global conversations about ethnic identity, social justice, land rights and cultural appropriation, Cannon's work continues to engage issues that are as relevant now as they were 50 years ago.
Eight T.C. Cannon works from
IAIA's National Collection of Contemporary Native Arts
have been loaned to PEM for the traveling exhibition.

Pitseolak Ashoona
(1904-1983),
Napachie Pootoogook
(1938-2002), and
Annie Pootoogook
(1969-2016). After closing at MoCNA, Akunnittinni was on exhibition at the
Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian

Desert ArtLAB: Ecologies of Resistance
on view at MoCNA in 2017 will open next at the
Maxwell Museum of Anthropology
at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, New Mexico, from February through April 2018. Desert ArtLAB is an interdisciplinary art collaborative, established by museum curator/educator
April Bojorquez
(Chicana/Rarámuri) and artist/educator
Matthew Garcia
(Chicano). The installation reconceptualizes desert/dryland ecologies not as post-apocalyptic growth of wasteland, but as an ecological opportunity. The exhibition illustrates the artistic process of the collaborative's site-specific ecological installation in the high desert of Southern Colorado, through artifacts, archival materials, and botanical samples.
Last Supper
by
C. Maxx Stevens
(Seminole/Muscogee) is a conceptual installation that illustrates the effects of unhealthy food on Native Peoples. The show will be on view at the
Maxwell Museum of Anthropology
at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, New Mexico, from February through April 2018. Stevens' builds a visual narrative based on private and public memories and experiences to deal with the devastating effect of diabetes throughout native nations.
Last Supper
creates a larger social awareness of the epidemic and its dilemma in all the United States. The mixed media installation includes her family archives and testimony about the disease and its impact on traditional values, the evolution of drastic diets as well as the economy. On view at MoCNA in 2011, the museum purchased this installation from Stevens with the intention to travel it.

Orlando Dugi
(Diné) is currently living and working in Santa Fe, NM. Originally from Grey Mountain, Arizona, Diné Nation, Dugi learned to bead at the age of six and learned how to sew in a home economics class in seventh grade. In 2009, Dugi began designing hand-beaded evening clutches and designed his first gown in 2010. Within the last four years, Dugi has designed three collections and includes a New York City showing at
NY Style Fashion Week
in 2016 Spring and Summer. Dugi’s designs are feminine, sculptural, and highly embellished with many hours of hand-sewing and hand-beading and therefore they are only made-to-order.
Christa Cassano
(Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation, Arrow Lakes Band) is a visual artist and storyteller living in Philadelphia, PA. Her work has been exhibited internationally and explores themes of alienation, violence, and insurgence, often with depictions of animals as human stand-ins as a way to mark aspects of society’s complex and many times absurd relationship to nature. In 2016, she was nominated for an
Eisner Comics Industry Award
for co-adapting John Leguizamo’s One Man HBO Show,
Ghetto Klown
, into a graphic novel, and has contributed political cartoons to the

Ibex Puppetry.
Nathaniel worked on the crew that created the sets and scenic for the production.
Heather Henson
is a contemporary puppet artist whose work promotes harmony and healing for the planet through artistic spectacle and discussion. Heather graduated with a degree from
Rhode Island School of Design

In this coming of age story,
Ajijaack
learns lessons along the way from her mentors and friends: the buffalo, deer, frog, dragonfly, coyote, and a turtle activist family. Reflecting our connectedness with all of creation, this immersive story is told through rituals and puppets, projections and kites, aerial antics and life-sized maps. Tracing the tragedies befalling cranes, of disappearing forests and lakes, this story celebrates the richness of indigenous cultures that honor and protect these majestic birds.

Native Arts and Cultures Foundation Includes Luci Tapahonso and Melissa Cody in 2018 National Artist Fellowships
|
Luci Tapahonso
(Diné) is the inaugural Poet Laureate of the Navajo Nation and Professor Emerita of English Languages and Literature at the
University of New Mexico
. Tapahonso, the middle child of eleven, is grateful to have been raised in a traditional, multi-generational Navajo household on a farm outside of Shiprock, New Mexico. Although belonging to a generation forbidden to speak Navajo in school, her mother tongue remains the undercurrent and the matrix through which everything in her life permeates. Tapahonso has published eight books, including three children’s books. Her work is primarily in English, but it is enriched and interspersed with words and phrases in Navajo and honors the rich legacy of the Diné people. She epitomizes the Navajo value of “speaking well”. From her we learn that in Navajo culture, a person with this ability is thought to convey compassion, strength and good upbringing. In addition, a person who knows many stories, songs and prayers is considered wealthy.
Tapahonso received her MA in English from the
University of New Mexico
and played a key role in establishing the Indigenous Studies Graduate Studies Program at the
University of Kansas
. She is the wife of
IAIA President Dr. Robert Martin
(Cherokee).
Melissa S. Cody
is a fourth-generation Navajo weaver and textile artist who was raised on the Navajo Reservation in Northern Arizona. At a time when the younger generations had begun to abandon the art – more and more viewed it as suitable only for old women and grandmothers – Cody was receiving her first lessons from her mother. She was five. Even after a career of more than two decades, her mother remains a treasured mentor. Cody credits her for her own work’s perfection in setup, structure, tensioning, technique, and the subtle intricacies so richly evident in her art. The inspiration for her designs comes from traditional weaving patterns, utilitarian weaving blankets, and significant historical events, such as the Long Walk of the Navajo.
Cody is recognized for her skill in traditional weaving techniques and the perfection of her weaves. She has a substantial following, with work that ventures beyond the traditional form. Her fusion of eclectic contemporary themes with traditional Navajo tapestry design employs vivid color schemes and produces sharp geometric overlays. The result is a stunning weave that displays as if it is three dimensional. Cody received a Bachelor’s degree in Studio Arts and Museum Studies from
IAIA
in 2007. In 2014, her work received the Best of Show Award from the
Autry National Center
in Los Angeles, Calif., and in 2017, she received the Judges Award from the
Heard Museum Fair and Market
.
