Opening Reception | Jeffrey Gibson: Sculptures and Paintings


Jeffrey Gibson (b. 1972), who is half Choctaw and half Cherokee, creates sculptures and paintings that intermingle more traditional Native American art with contemporary art and culture. His works are irrefutable evidence that such taxonomies can sit comfortably together, resulting in amalgams of his vast personal interests and unique biography that demonstrate the ease of inclusion. Preceded at 4pm by a conversation with the artist.
