"In Remix: New Modernities in a Post-Indian World, artists and curators Joe Baker (Choctaw) and Gerald McMaster (Plains Cree) bring together the work of fifteen artists of mixed Native/non-Native heritage from the United States, Canada, and Mexico to create a mini-museum of the here and now in contemporary Native art. Personal and political, this art and the accompany texts raise issues that resonate far beyond the American art scene--questions about the meaning of ethnic and racial identity in an increasingly global society; the tension between self-expression and the templates of mass culture; and individuals' freedom to adapt or reject elements of tradition without losing their claim on the past." Remix artist Dustinn Craig (White Mountain Apache/Navajo) explores parallels between skateboarding culture and traditional tribal life. Kent Monkman (Cree) appropriates 19th-century romantic landscapes to bring out the perversity that underscores pop cultural representations of early relationships between Native Americans and European settlers. Anna Tsouhlarakis, of Navajo and Greek heritage, challenges stereotypes through role reversal in a series of ethnic dances. They are joined in this iconoclastic, often witty artistic revolution by Fausto Fernandez (Mexican/American), Luis Gutierrez, (Mexican/American), David Hannan (Metis), Gregory Lomayesva, (Hopi/Hispanic), Brian David Kahehtowanen Miller (Mohawk), Franco Mondini-Ruiz (Mexican American/Italian), Nadia Myre (Anishinaabe), Alan Natachu (Zuni), Hector Ruiz (Kickapoo/Mexican American), Kade leaves Twist, (Cherokee), Bernard Williams (African American/American Indian), and Steven Yazzie (Navajo)."--Pub. desc."
