An Indigenous Present

Edited with introduction by Jeffrey Gibson. Text by Philip J. Deloria, Adam Khalil, Zack Khalil, Kite, Layli Long Soldier, Jarrett Martineau, Arielle Twist. Interviews with Candice Hopkins, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith.

An Indigenous Present

A monumental gathering of more than 60 contemporary artists, photographers, musicians, writers and more, showcasing diverse approaches to Indigenous concepts, forms and mediums

This landmark volume is a gathering of Native North American contemporary artists, musicians, filmmakers, choreographers, architects, writers, photographers, designers and more. Conceived by Jeffrey Gibson, a renowned artist of Mississippi Choctaw and Cherokee descent, An Indigenous Present presents an increasingly visible and expanding field of Indigenous creative practice. It centers individual practices, while acknowledging shared histories, to create a visual experience that foregrounds diverse approaches to concept, form and medium as well as connection, influence, conversation and collaboration. An Indigenous Present foregrounds transculturalism over affiliation and contemporaneity over outmoded categories.
Artists include: Neal Ambrose-Smith, Teresa Baker, Natalie Ball, Laakkuluk Williamson Bathory, Rebecca Belmore, Andrea Carlson, Nani Chacon, Raven Chacon, Dana Claxton, Melissa Cody, Chris T. Cornelius, Lewis deSoto, Beau Dick, Demian DineYazhi’, Wally Dion, Divide and Dissolve, Korina Emmerich, Ka’ila Farrell-Smith, Yatika Starr Fields, Nicholas Galanin, Raven Halfmoon, Elisa Harkins, Luzene Hill, Anna Hoover, Sky Hopinka, Chaz John, Emily Johnson, Brian Jungen, Brad Kahlhamer, Sonya Kelliher-Combs, Adam Khalil, Zack Kahlil, Kite, Layli Long Soldier, Erica Lord, Cannupa Hanska Luger, Tanya Lukin Linklater, James Luna, Dylan McLaughlin, Meryl McMaster, Caroline Monnet, Audie Murray, New Red Order, Jamie Okuma, Laura Ortman, Katherine "KP" Paul/Black Belt Eagle Scout, Postcommodity, Wendy Red Star, Eric-Paul Riege, Cara Romero, Sara Siestreem, Rose B.

PRAISE AND REVIEWS

Hyperallergic

Bishara Hakim

This is a gorgeous coffee table book that offers a visual delight of art by the leading practitioners of contemporary art from the Native American, Alaska Native, Inuit, and First Nations communities...I'd highly recommend.

IndigiNews

Kayla Macinnis

A large-format book with beautiful images that includes thoughts from curators, poets and writers – all while infusing the cultural and distinctly different identities of communities.

Document Journal

Maya Kotomori

Narrative breaks follow sumptuous art photography throughout An Indigenous Present, manifesting the project’s mission to marry concept, form, and medium as well as connection, influence, and conversation.

The New York Times Book Review

Lauren Christensen

Challenges the outsider’s destructive fascination with Indigenous cultures, inverting and inviting it into a new perspective authored by Indigenous artists themselves.

Colossal

Kate Mothes

The nearly 450-page volume renders solid a new paradigm of representation and visibility of Native North American art.

Join us for the LA Art Book Fair 2023!

Join us August 10–13, 2023, in Booth J14 at Printed Matter's LA Art Book Fair 2023, where we will present book signings and discussions with artists and writers. (Scroll down for the complete listings.) This year our booth will have two points of focus: One, The Divine Feminine—concepts that explore the potency of a deep, elemental feminine power and the quality of corporeality that evokes a certain kind of planetary magic. Second is The Grassroot in LA—artists, writers, musicians who may be or have been living and working on the fringe of mainstream culture. We will have selection of out-of-print books, signed books and a Bruno Munari poster selection, along with our favorite new titles.

Artbook is proud to partner with DelMonico Books for the second year, co-hosting book signing at Booth K15.

Highly anticipated 'An Indigenous Present'

Highly anticipated 'An Indigenous Present'

Featured spreads are from An Indigenous Present, the superb 448-page new release gathering more than 60 Native North American contemporary artists, musicians, poets, choreographers, designers, filmmakers, performance artists, architects, collectives and writers, published by DelMonico Books and Big NDN Press. Edited by American Mississippi Chocktaw/Cherokee painter and sculptor Jeffrey Gibson and designed by Montreal-based Cree/Nêhiýaw graphic design studio OTAMI-, this is one of the most highly anticipated books on our list this season. In his introduction, Gibson writes, “It’s no secret that, at various points in my life, I’ve considered quitting being a professional artist. I’ve spoken about this publicly, and I’ve done so because I wanted to be transparent about the challenges of identifying as a Native/Indigenous artist. The historically pervasive racism of institutions and the market left me feeling like I had to do everything on my own. It was too difficult, too often, for too many reasons, but what really rattled me was the ways I’d come to accept — or perhaps ‘metabolize’ is a better word — the racism in the art world. It has taken me two decades to recognize racism’s edges, the way it feels and looks, its pervasive reach. In the art world, it is typically subtle, superficially well intentioned, and extremely polite in its delivery. In response, I have often felt a responsibility to assume the role of mediator and educator, which I’ve done as gracefully as I could in any given context. An Indigenous Present has emerged as much out of my dissatisfaction with the circumstances I have navigated during my own career as it has from witnessing artists who proudly identify as Indigenous carve out their own creative spaces and, collectively, manifest both local and international contexts for their artworks.”
