Known for her expansive multidisciplinary approach to art making
Vancouver-based Dana Claxton, who is Hunkpapa Lakota (Sioux), has
investigated notions of Indigenous identity, beauty, gender and the
body, as well as broader social and political issues through a
practice which encompasses photography, film, video and
performance. Rooted in contemporary art strategies, her practice
critiques the representations of Indigenous people that circulate
in art, literature and popular culture in general. In doing so,
Claxton regularly combines Lakota traditions with “Western”
influences, using a powerful and emotive “mix, meld and mash”
approach to address the oppressive legacies of colonialism and to
articulate Indigenous world views, histories and spirituality. This
timely catalogue will be the first monograph to examine the full
breadth and scope of Claxton’s practice. It will be extensively
illustrated and will include essays by Claxton’s colleague Jaleh
Mansoor, Associate Professor in the Department of Art History,
Visual Art & Theory at the University of British Columbia;
Monika Kin Gagnon, Professor in the Communications Department at
Concordia University, who has followed Claxton’s work for 25
years; Olivia Michiko Gagnon, a New York–based scholar and
doctoral student in Performance Studies; and Grant Arnold, Audain
Curator of British Columbia Art at the Vancouver Art Gallery.
