Through the ages Native American women have produced intricate and often beautifully finished items of art
WHO MAKES art? In the past, outsiders looking at what Native Americans traditionally produced would conclude that men made most of it. After all the grandest, most eye-catching and figurative works—enormous totem poles and paintings—are usually made by men. Other products, such as finely designed beadwork on clothing, delicate pots or deftly woven baskets, are historically the realm of women.
A committee of 21 experts, some Native and some not, selected the items. The pieces are arranged according to three themes: legacy, relationships and power. Such categories are vague enough to allow for a wide variety of items, including video installations, a rifle suspended in a tank of oil, dangling pieces of dried reindeer guts, decorated buffalo skins and sculpted marble.
The ties between people and their natural environment is the subject for several artists in the second, “relationship”, portion of the show. Among the most striking items is a circular heap of broken bone china that is illuminated by a spotlight. On the wall beside it plays black-and-white footage of a hunt for buffaloes, a species that was driven to the verge of extinction.
