Jeffrey Gibson USA, b. 1972
Jeffrey Gibson’s aesthetic position is rooted in the spaces where narratives collide. Gibson is a member of the Chocktaw and Cherokee nations. Combining Native American traditions with the visual languages of Modernism, his work re-contextualizes relationships between popular culture, identity politics, personal experience, memory, and canonized versions of history, inviting viewers to question the myths and assumptions that empower contemporary social structures.
As a child Gibson lived for long periods of time in Germany, Korea, and the United States. His multicultural perspective informed his study of art history and influenced the development of his aesthetic language. While moving around, Gibson found solace and friendship in the music scene, at various times exploring the sounds and social traditions of the punk, rave and PowWow communities. Song lyrics are a major aesthetic element in several of Gibson’s bodies of work, including his large-scale beaded paintings, his monumental installations and public works, as well as his beloved and highly influential series of beaded punching bags.
The power of musical performances is also integral to Gibson’s long running series of ceremonial garments. Alternately presenting as wearable fabrics and purely aesthetic relics, Gibson's garments elucidate the value of costumes as transformative objects that can help people take agency over their own identities. Exhibited in such environments as the entrance to the Whitney Biennial and the New York Armory Show, Gibson’s garments express a range of perspectives and influences, like symbols of history and culture that possess both personal and wider social meaning.
The intertwining and unraveling of cultural and material themes continues in Gibson’s recent series of Quilt Block Paintings. The pastiche appearance of these ambitious works is a material reflection of the intertextual narratives within. Says Gibson, “My grandmothers made quilts, and I collect quilts. I’m drawn to their patchwork quality. If you know where the fabrics are coming from, there’s a story that can be played out through material culture.”Images of Indigenous people appear throughout the Quilt Block Paintings, interrogating differences between how Native Americans represent themselves and how they are represented by others. Ranging from the cartoonish, to the melodramatic, to the profane, these images draw attention to inherent biases within intercultural visual narratives, such as the tendency of non-Indigenous artists to attribute dark skin tones to their perceived foes and light skin to individuals, such as Pocahontas, whom they wish to convey as friendly to colonial concerns.
All of Gibson's works deftly intermingle popular culture, literature, art history, memory, politics, myth, and material meaning. The source content he so insightfully remixes into new forms incites questions about whose representations of people and cultures should be validated; which memories and artifacts should be exalted; what creative products should be deemed to have constructive social value; and who decides. The works feel starkly original and idiosyncratic, but unified—a phenomenological manifestation of the complex, interwoven cultural fabrics that compete within our contemporary social space, and yet keep us stubbornly, inextricably bound.
Gibson is a MacArthur Foundation “Genius” Grantee; Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters & Sculptors Grantee; TED Foundation Fellow; Smithsonian Institution Contemporary Arts Grantee; HARPO Foundation Grantee; Eiteljorg Contemporary Art Fellow; Creative Capital Foundation Grantee; Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians Tribal Scholarship awardee.
