For over three decades, contemporary Native American artist Hock E
Aye Vi Edgar Heap of Birds has pursued a disciplined practice in
multiple media, having shown his paintings, drawings, prints, and
text-based conceptual art throughout numerous national and
international galleries and public spaces. In the first book-length
study of this important artist, Bill Anthes analyzes Heap of
Birds's art and politics in relation to the international
contemporary art scene, Native American history, and settler
colonialism. Foregrounding how Heap of Birds roots his practice in
Cheyenne spirituality and an indigenous way of seeing and being in
the world, Anthes describes how Heap of Birds likens his art to
"sharp rocks"-weapons delivering trenchant critiques of the loss of
land, life, and autonomy endured by Native Americans. Whether
appearing as interventions in public spaces or in a gallery, Heap
of Birds's carefully honed artworks pose questions about time,
modernity, identity, power, and the meaning and value of
contemporary art in a global culture.
