Jaune Quick-to-See Smith (b. 1940, citizen of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Nation) is one of the most innovative and significant artists of her generation. Engaging languages of abstraction, expressionism, and Pop Art throughout her work, she interrogates American life and identity from a Native perspective. Her approach reappropriates images and ideas culled from history, environmentalism, popular culture, and mass media to blur the boundaries of contemporary American art. As a multifaceted artist, activist, curator, and educator, she positions Native American art at the center of today’s critical dialogues around land, social justice, preservation, and sustainability. Memory Map-the largest and most comprehensive retrospective of her work to date-brings together over five decades of Smith’s paintings, drawings, and sculptures to question why certain visual languages attain recognition, historical privilege, and value over others.
