The Rockwell Museum is proud to announce the acquisition of a suite of 15 prints by Wendy Red Star (Apsáalooke/Crow, born 1981) to the permanent collection. The “Accession” series will be on view at The Rockwell as a spotlight exhibition through September 5, 2022, and be a centerpiece to the Museum’s annual theme—”SPARK! From Inspiration to Creation.”
Raised on the Apsáalooke (Crow) reservation in Montana, Red Star works across disciplines, including photography, sculpture, video, fiber arts and performance, to explore the intersections of Native American ideologies and colonial structures. Red Star researches historic archives and oral traditions in order to incorporate them with her research to create new and unexpected perspectives. Intergenerational collaboration is central to her artistic practice, working frequently with her daughter, striving to create space for Native women’s voices within the context of contemporary American art.
“In 2022, all of the Museum’s exhibitions and programs will explore how artists harness their unique perspective from the tiniest spark or ember of inspiration to forge a complete creative body of work,” says Kirsty Buchanan, curator of collections and exhibitions at The Rockwell.
