Curtis in the early 20th century have come to embody the proud, the sorrowful, and romantic Indian in the American imaginary. In this article, I explore two alternate venues for the circulation of his images: the 1911 lantern slide picture opera and the photographic archives. In particular, I examine a series of unpublished photographs that Curtis took of George Hunt-- Curtiss and Franz Boass longtime collaborator-- posed as a Kwakwakawakw Hamatsa (Cannibal Dancer). The photographs allowed Curtis to visualize an outdated, rumored-about, and previously secret ritual, while his recontextualization of them in the picture opera momentarily publicized and spectacularized them before they were relegated to the archive. This article critically examines ethnographic photographs as they both construct and obscure cultural realities based on their unique materialities and paths of circulation. It also explores the relationship of performance to such photographs at various moments and suggests that recognition of indigenous agency in the creation of ethnographic images has implications for their later modes of interpretation, expecially by Native people themselves. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1534376 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1051320 An invitation to replace Terry Ryan for a few months in 1964 gave a Toronto artist a unique experience, bringing new meaning to his art, new friendships, and new experiences. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1051372 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1051358 Ensconced throughout much of the 1980s and 1990s in institutions dedicated to Native art, in recent years Native artists and curators have turned their attention to the opportunities for global visibility afforded by international exhibitions and art fairs, with particular focus on the Venice Biennale. Formerly focused on issues specific to the history of settler colonialism in the United States and Canada-- land, treaty rights, and sovereignty; citizenship and the legal fictions of identity and blood quantum-- the work of Native artists in the 21st century has come to share much with the work of a current generation of itinerant artists active in the international art world. Taking recent Native participation in the Venice Biennale as a case study, this article considers the new global visibility of Native artists and the problematics of going global for Native artists, whose aesthetic authority has been figured as literally grounded specific local landscapes. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1051691 A solo exhibition at the Marion Scott Gallery in Vancouver in Nov. 2008 marks this artists return to the spotlight as one of Canadas leading sculptors. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1237929 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1051692 Changes at the gallery include, not only a new architectural vision, but also the way it presents and thinks about Inuit art. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1051731 The Chicago Settee is a chiefs chair back carved in the late nineteenth century by a Haida artist whose identity has long remained unknown.
