From the Venice Biennale to the Boise Art Museum—artwork by Jeffrey Gibson, one of today’s foremost contemporary American artists, is featured in a new, major exhibition at BAM. “Jeffrey Gibson: They Teach Love | from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation” presents a survey of 53 artworks—sculpture, paintings, prints, and video—bursting with Gibson’s bold patterns and brilliant colors. Gibson, who is of Mississippi Choctaw and Cherokee heritage, blends aspects of Indigenous art and culture with modernist art traditions, navigating and disrupting expectations placed upon Indigenous artists, and bringing messages of hope. Punching bags, flags, banners, and illuminated signs are adorned and converted from utilitarian items to art objects that vibrate with spiritual power, carrying his belief that objects, and people alike, have the potential for radical transformation.📍 boiseartmuseum.org/exhibition/jeffrey-gibson-they-teach-love/ Curated by Ryan Hardesty, Executive Director and Curator of Exhibitions and Collections, Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, Washington State UniversityGenerously supported by the Jordan Schnitzer Family Foundation and the Steiner Family Foundation.(Pictured: Jeffrey Gibson, Native American, Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians and Cherokee, (b. 1972), “SPIRIT AND MATTER,” 2023, acrylic paint on elk hide inset in custom wood frame, 90 x 72 1/2 x 5 in.

In the center of the painting, a large circle filled with concentric bands of gradually shifting hues is overlayed with 16 evenly spaced, narrow triangles radiating from the circle’s center to its edge. The triangles are each painted a different bright hue and arranged clockwise by color. Surrounding the circle, the painting is filled with a grid of small triangles, painted in a vibrant gradient—red and purple at the top, blue in the middle, and green, yellow, and orange near the bottom.) ...
