This Artist’s Take On America’s Histories Is A Vibrant Act Of Resistance

Choctaw and Cherokee artist Jeffrey Gibson imagines a future of abundance in his historic exhibit, “the space in which to place me."
When artist Jeffrey Gibson’s work lit up the 60th Venice Biennale last spring, it became a vivid reflection of his place in America’s colorful history and the forces that shaped it.
Gibson made history as the first Native American artist to represent the United States with a solo show at the global art spectacle in Venice, which is often dubbed “the Olympics of the art world.” He is a member of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians and is also of Cherokee descent.
“I think I really felt, ’This is the moment that the art world wants this,” Gibson told HuffPost at a preview of the art exhibit. “This is the moment that America wants this.”
His exhibition, “the space in which to place me,” will now make its U.S. debut at Los Angeles’ Broad Museum on Saturday.
The exhibit, which includes paintings, sculptures, flags, murals and video, situates Gibson’s personal experience within a broader historical narrative, blending prismatic color and traditional Native craftsmanship with bold geometric texts that reference queer, Native American and U.S. histories.
