When I Remember I See Red: American Indian Art and Activism in
California features contemporary art by First Californians and
other American Indian artists with strong ties to the state.
Spanning the past five decades, the exhibition includes more than
sixty-five works in various media, from painting, sculpture,
prints, and photography, to installation and video. More than forty
artists are represented, among them pioneers such as Rick Bartow,
George Blake, Dalbert Castro, Frank Day, Harry Fonseca, Frank
LaPena, Jean LaMarr, James Luna, Karen Noble, Fritz Scholder, Brian
Tripp, and Franklin Tuttle, as well as emerging and mid-career
artists. Taking cues from their forebears, members of the younger
generation often combine art and activism, embracing issues of
identity, politics, and injustice to produce innovative-and
frequently enlightening-work. The exhibition, along with the
accompanying catalogue, transcends borders, with some California
artists working outside the state, and several artists of
non-California tribes living and creating within its boundaries.
Diverse cultural influences coupled with the extraordinary
dissemination of images made possible by technology have led to new
forms of expression, making When I Remember I See Red a richly
layered experience. Published in association with the Crocker Art
