The Shape of Things/New Approaches to Indigenous Abstraction Missoula Art Museum Over the past two years, MAM, MATRIX Press, and the University of Montana School of Art have been working with four artists—Molly Murphy Adams (Oglala Lakota), John Hitchcock (Comanche), Sara Siestreem (Hanis Coos/Confederated Tribes of Coos, Lower Umpqua, and Siuslaw Tribes), and Duane Slick (Meskwaki/Nebraska Ho-Chunk)—who were each invited to participate in printmaking residencies generously supported by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Each artist visited Missoula for one week to create new work at MATRIX Press, interact with the community, and offer a public lecture about their artistic practice. Artists weren’t directed to make work in any given style, just to follow their interests with the understanding that the results would be presented as part of this exhibition exploring abstraction. Currently on View / February 15-May 19, 2018
Miriam Schapiro: Anonymous Was a Woman Missoula Art Museum Two suites of prints created through Matrix Press with Miriam Schapiro will be on display at the MAM. March 19-May 31, 2018
Continuum Salish Kootenai College Pablo, Mont. — The Missoula Art Museum (MAM) and Salish Kootenai College (SKC) are collaborating to exhibit works from MAM’s Contemporary American Indian Art Collection at the Three Woodcocks building on the SKC campus. The exhibition is guest curated by University of Montana art history graduate student Nikolyn Garner. The opening reception will be held on Thursday, April 12 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. There will be a closing reception and panel discussion on Tuesday, May 15 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. The exhibit will continue through May 31. Garner is an SKC alumna and worked closely with SKC Fine Arts Department Head Cameron Decker. Through this exhibition, Garner hopes to increase access to contemporary American Indian artwork for students at the College as well as for the community. “It is my hope that seeing the artwork that the students are studying will provide inspiration and motivation for these future artists,” says Garner. “The beautiful exhibition space at Salish Kootenai College provides a wonderful opportunity to share artwork from the Missoula Art Museum’s permanent collection. Continuum reflects the continually developing, adapting, and exploratory voices of contemporary American Indian artists.” The exhibition also includes loans of artwork from SKC’s permanent collection and from MATRIX Press at the University of Montana.
