Press Release of American Pavilion
Indigenous contemporary artist Jeffrey Gibson’s exhibition, the space in which to place me, is on view at the U.S. Pavilion at the Venice Biennale from April 20th – November 24, 2024. The multidisciplinary exhibition is a stunning work of contemporary color, beadwork, and paintings grounded in American history and culture.
Kathleen Ash-Milby, U.S. Pavilion Commissioner and Curator noted that “the exhibition, the space in which to place me, is a challenge to all of us to see the world through the lens of Jeffrey’s extraordinary work. It celebrates the resilience of Native people while also surfacing obscured narratives and engaging with difficult histories and contradictions.”
The U.S. Pavilion was also curated by Abigail Winograd, who also served as a Commissioner alongside Ash-Milby and Louis Grachos.
Gibson’s work exemplifies the importance of cultural diplomacy around the world as Secretary of State Blinken said, “American’s arts and culture are a major source of our national strength...their work can get people to see each other’s humanity, build a sense of common purpose [and] change the minds of those who misunderstand us.” The State Department is proud to partner with the Portland Art Museum in Oregon and Site Santa Fe in New Mexico to showcase American excellence in art on the world stage.
Gibson has two major upcoming commissions in the United States: an exhibition of new work and performance at MASS MoCa opening November 2024 and new works for the facade of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in 2025.
