Rose B. Simpson (b. 1983) has envisioned a site-specific project for the Cleveland Museum of Art\u2019s Ames Family Atrium titled\u00a0Strata<\/em>. Simpson\u2019s installation was commissioned specifically for the expansive, light-filled space. According to the artist,\u00a0Strata<\/em>\u00a0is inspired by time spent in Cleveland, \u201cthe architecture of the museum, the possibility of the space, tumbled stones from the shores of Lake Erie,\u201d as well as her own Indigenous heritage and the landscape of her ancestral homelands of Santa Clara Pueblo, New Mexico, where she was born and raised and where she lives and works.<\/p>\n

Strata<\/em>\u00a0comprises two monumental figural sculptures constructed from the artist\u2019s signature clay medium, in addition to metalwork, porous concrete, and cast bronze. The figures\u2019 layers mimic rock eroded through geologic time and the structural materiality of man-made architecture. Intricate welded metal structures mounted to the heads of each figure, intended to cast shadows, mimic the structures of the mind in relationship to time and space.<\/p>\n

Simpson\u2019s identity as a Native woman has greatly impacted her work. She is from a long line of women working in the ceramic tradition of her Kha\u2019po Owingeh (Santa Clara Pueblo) tribe dating back to the 500s CE. Her large-scale sculptures represent a bold intervention in colonial legacies of dependency, erasure, and assimilation, and balance her tribe\u2019s inherited ceramic tradition with modern methods, materials, and processes.\u00a0Her work asserts a pride of place and belonging on land where Native residents have been forcefully dispossessed of their territories and cultures.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Simpson has had solo exhibitions at the Whitney Museum of American Art, ICA Boston, the Wheelwright Museum, and the Nevada Art Museum, and is represented in museum collections including the Cleveland Museum of Art, Denver Art Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, Museum of Fine Arts Boston, Princeton University Art Museum, and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, among others. She is the recipient of several prestigious awards, including a Joan Mitchell Foundation Fellowship, a Women\u2019s Caucus for Art President\u2019s Award for Art & Activism, and was recently appointed by President Biden to the Institute of American Indian Arts Board of Trustees.<\/p>\n

The CMA\u2019s presentation of\u00a0Rose B. Simpson: Strata<\/em>\u00a0includes a richly illustrated catalogue with contributions by Nadiah Rivera Fellah, the CMA\u2019s associate curator of contemporary art; Anya Montiel, curator at the Smithsonian\u2019s National Museum of the American Indian; Karen Patterson, executive director at the Ruth Foundation; Natalie Diaz (Mojave \/ Akimel O\u2019odham), Maxine and Jonathan Marshall Chair in Modern and Contemporary Poetry at Arizona State University; and artists Rose B. Simpson and Dyani White Hawk (Sicangu Lakota).<\/p>\n

Picturing the Border<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Through Sunday, January 5, 2025
\nMark Schwartz and Bettina Katz Photography Galleries | Gallery 230<\/strong><\/p>\n

Free; No Ticket Required<\/strong><\/p>\n

Picturing the Border<\/em>\u00a0presents photographs of the US-Mexico borderlands from the 1970s to the present taken by both border residents and outsiders. They range in subject matter from intimate domestic portraits, narratives of migration, and proof of political demonstrations to images of border crossings and clashes between migrants and the US Border Patrol. The earliest images in this exhibition form an origin story for the topicality of the US-Mexico border at present, and demonstrate that the issues of the border have been a critical point of inquiry for artists since the 1970s. Many serve as counternarratives to the derogatory narratives of migration and Latino\/as in the US that tend to circulate in the mass media.<\/p>\n

Capitalizing on the prevalent issues of the border today,\u00a0Picturing the Border<\/em>\u00a0aims to spark vital conversations of what constitutes citizenship, as well as complex negotiations of personal identity as it relates to the border. The exhibition shows through these images that Latinx, Chicano\/a, and Mexican photographers have significantly rethought what defines citizenship, nationality, family, migration, and the border beyond traditional frameworks for decades.<\/p>\n
