The announcement card carries an image that is both arresting and provocative: a painting of a coyote carrying in its mouth a hot dog, complete with a swirl of yellow mustard, the work of artist Steven Yazzie. "In/Sight 2010," Jan 15-Feb. 13, 2010, presents works by 21 American Indian artists at the Chelsea Art Museum. The show is organized by freelance curator Clarissa Dalrymple with Michael Chapman, co-founder of the Unreserved American Indian Fashion and Art Alliance, and draws on the extensive art scene centered around the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe. "Most of the artists involved are deeply connected to their tribes," Dalrymple said, "though the show also contains a few conceptual odd-balls."
The exhibition is billed as reflective of the "sensibility and spirit unique to the American Indian experience." Artists in the show are Lorenzo Clayton & Timothy Patrick Corbett, Cloud Medicine Crow, Joe Feddersen, Nathan Hart, Lisa Holt & Harlan Reano, Norma Howard, Athena La Tocha, Jason Lujan, Douglas Miles, Eliza Naranjo Morse, Jolene Rickard, Mateo Romero, Sarah Sense, Preston Singletary, Bently Spang, Renzo Spirit Buffalo, Gail Tremblay, Kade Twist, Will Wilson, and Steven Yazzie. Works in the exhibition are for sale, with the proceeds going to the artists.
