Dwayne Wilcox: Visual/Language
Feb 28, 2019 - May 12, 2019
The exhibition examines Dwayne Wilcox鈥檚 (Oglala Lakota) own lived experience as an artist creating work that is linked to historic forms of narrative communication of his Lakota people and post-modernism in its powerfully ironic stance. Wilcox鈥檚 recent series of ledger drawings address many social ills facing residents of the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota where Wilcox grew up. His characteristic humor is evident in many of the works; however, the tone of most of these drawings is darker, dealing with substance abuse, domestic violence, and incarceration. The works reflect the underlying issues of indigenous identity, historic collective trauma and the culture of hopelessness in a place like Pine Ridge. Wilcox鈥檚 three-dimensional works stretch the boundaries of the definition of ledger art.
