A Native Culture’s Reach, Both Visual and Emotional

…While much of the work by non-Indian artists lacks this kind of physical integrity, Nicholas Galanin, the Alaskan Tlinglit artist who works in various Conceptual Art modes, does muster some of it by wittily appropriating the rock-art technique especially favored by the Native Americans of the Southwest. Into the sidewalk in front of the gallery he has incised the silhouette of a small horned animal like those found on several objects inside, as well as the word “Indians” rendered in the distinctive script used by the Cleveland baseball team, but without the Indian caricature of the logo. Redolent of tattoos and graffiti, these works bring the fuel-efficient unity posed by the Native American works in this show squarely into the present.
Peter Blum Soho is pleased to announce the exhibition Kindred Spirits, Native American Influences on 20th Century Arton view October 29, 2011 through January 14, 2012.
The exhibition features works of indigenous peoples from the Southwest region of the United States of America that illustrate their strong and often neglected influence on Modern and Contemporary art. Funerary vessels, paintings, pottery, weavings, and baskets from fourteen tribes including the Apache, Hopi, Mimbres, Navajo, and Zuni are exhibited alongside Modern and Contemporary works by artists such as Josef Albers, Max Ernst, Agnes Martin, Georgia O’Keeffe and Jackson Pollock (see complete list below), illustrating the profound inspiration these artists found in the desert landscapes and Native American cultures of the Southwest… Follow the link for more info

Nicholas Galanin Paper Sculptures Inspire Dutch Book Week Ad Campaign Posters.
Each year, the Collective Promotion Dutch Literature (CPNB) organizes Dutch Book Week to promote Dutch literature and every year a specific genre is featured. This year the Book Week is featuring autobiographies, ‘GeschrevenPortretten’, which roughly translates into ‘Written Portraits’.
Faces crafted from book pages representing the autobiographies of Anne Frank, Vincent van Gogh, Louis van Gaal and Kader Abdollah (writer of the biographic Book Week give away).
Images based on the work by artist Nicholas Galanin.
“These posters advertise the theme of this year’s Boekenweek (‘book week’, organized by the foundation ‘Collective Propaganda for the Dutch Book’, CPNB) – to be held from 16 till 26 March. The theme, “Written Portraits”, is communicated quite literally in these striking pieces, created by ctera. They are inspired by Nicholas Galanin, who makes these kind of portraits physically. Since it was too complicated and time consuming to make them for real, Etcetera solely used CG. The people in the portraits all have a biography (left to right); Louis van Gaal (Bayern München football coach), Kader Abdolah (writer of the special Boekenweek gift, De Kraai), and Anne Frank.
