Unsettled focuses on work by artists living and/or working in the
Greater West, a super - region that broadens conventional
definitions of the West. It is bounded from Alaska to Patagonia,
and from Australia to the American West. Though ranging across
thousands of miles, these comparative Wests share similar histories
born of collision between indigenous and frontier cultures. They
also share common concerns of land and water use, harvest and
extraction, and the preservation of natural beauty and wide - o pen
space. The geographic focus of Unsettled begins in Alaska and
continues down the west coast of North America, through Central
America, concluding in Colombia. Unsettled features 200 art objects
from this region, ranging from Pre - Columbian art to moder n and
contemporary art. Organized by Curatorial Director and Curator of
Contemporary Art JoAnne Northrup with Collaborating Curator, iconic
Los Angeles artist Ed Ruscha, Unsettled makes connections among the
diverse cultures and artistic practices of this superregion. Work I
n the exhibition responds to the Greater West's legacies of
colonialism, conflict, and changing landscape. It also explores the
unsettled edges of cultural and creative production in the Greater
West.
