| Summary: | "This publication is a survey of three decades of work by contemporary Native American artist Gerald Clarke (Cahuilla). Utilising wit and humour to expose historical and present-day injustice, Clarke brings a decolonial perspective to urgent cultural and political issues facing our world. Gerald Clarke is an artist, university professor, cowboy and Cahuilla tribal leader. Combining various media in his sculptures, paintings, works on paper, videos, performances and installations, Clarke derives artistic inspiration from his cultural heritage, expressing traditional ideas in contemporary forms that are both poetic and politically urgent. Clarke's artistic output resonates with histories of assemblage, pop and conceptual art produced by both Native and non-Native artists. This amply illustrated catalogue introduces Clarke's work at a moment when it is profoundly necessary"--Palm Springs Art Museum Shop description. |
