About
Jeffrey Gibson's selection to represent the United States at the Biennale Arte 2024 marks the first solo presentation of an Indigenous artist for the U.S. Pavilion. the space in which to place me is commissioned by Kathleen Ash-Milby, Louis Grachos, and Abigail Winograd and is presented jointly by the Portland Art Museum (Oregon) and SITE Santa Fe (New Mexico).
Gibson has forged an interdisciplinary practice and hybrid visual language characterized by bold use of color, pattern, and text that combines American, Indigenous, and Queer histories with references to popular subcultures, literature, and global aesthetic and artistic traditions. A member of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians and of Cherokee descent, Gibson deploys these myriad influences as a form of resistance. His practice reveals how taste, notions of authenticity, and persistent stereotypes of Indigenous people are used to delegitimize cultural expressions that exist outside the mainstream.
