Art for a New Understanding, an exhibition from Crystal Bridges
Museum of American Art opening this October, seeks to radically
expand and reposition the narrative of American art since 1950 by
charting a history of the development of contemporary Indigenous
art from the United States and Canada, beginning when artists moved
from more regionally-based conversations and practices to national
and international contemporary art contexts.This accompanying book
documents and expands on the histories and themes of this exciting
exhibition. This fully illustrated volume includes essays by art
historians and historians and reflections by the artists included
in the collection. Also included are key contemporary writings-from
the 1950s onward-by artists, scholars, and critics, investigating
the themes of transculturalism and pan-Indian identity, traditional
practices conducted in radically new ways, displacement, forced
migration, shadow histories, the role of personal mythologies as a
means to reimagine the future, and much more. As both a survey of
the development of Indigenous art from the 1950s to the present and
a consideration of Native artists within contemporary art more
broadly, Art for a New Understanding expands the definition of
American art and sets the tone for future considerations of the
subject. It is an essential publication for any institution or
individual with an interest in contemporary Native American art,
and an invaluable resource in ongoing scholarly considerations of
the American contemporary art landscape at large.
