jeffrey gibson met animal sculptures

Jeffrey Gibson has installed four large bronze animal sculptures—a deer, a coyote, a squirrel, and a hawk—on the facade of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, collectively titled “The Animal That Therefore I Am.” At a talk with Met curator Jane Panetta, Gibson explained that the works draw on his early paintings on brain-tanned elk hides and his ongoing exploration of Indigenous kinship philosophies, which honor all living beings as extensions of ourselves. The sculptures, each adorned with ceremonial regalia inspired by Native American traditions, are designed to be viewed as four-sided paintings and connect the museum’s Central Park location to Gibson’s home in the Hudson River Valley.

The sentencing hearing for Jeff Cowan, convicted in a massive art fraud scheme involving forged Norval Morrisseau paintings, was abruptly halted in an Ontario court. The delay followed explosive allegations from the defense suggesting that members of the artist’s own estate and long-time representatives may have been complicit in the creation or authentication of the fakes. A lawyer for the estate intervened, threatening civil action for defamation, which led the judge to pause proceedings until April.

Minnesota-based interdisciplinary artist Rosy Simas opened a contemplative installation titled "A:gajë:gwah dësa’nigöëwë:nye:' (i hope it will stir your mind)" at the Walker Art Center on the same day that Trump-appointed border czar Tom Homan announced the end of Operation Metro Surge, a federal immigration enforcement operation in the Twin Cities. The installation features salt bottles made from woven corn husks, each honoring one of Simas's relatives, and is inspired by the teachings of Handsome Lake (Ganyodaiyo’), her fifth great-grandfather’s half-brother, who promoted the Seneca concept of a "good mind." The exhibition, on view through July 5, is part of a two-part project that also includes performances in May. Simas, known primarily for choreography, has increasingly gained recognition as a visual artist, recently receiving a Creative Capital Award.
