CURRENT EXHIBITION | Field Guide: Teresa Baker + Anthony Hudson + Jessica Mehta + Eliza Naranjo Morse

“I was inspired by the freedom of that land at Ucross, Wyoming, and wanted that freedom to enter my choices in my work." — Teresa Baker, recipient of the Ucross Fellowship for Native American Visual Artists in Spring 2020

Field Guide features the work of recipients of the 2020 and 2021 Ucross Fellowship for Native American Visual Artists, including Teresa Baker (Mandan/Hidatsa), Anthony Hudson (Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde, Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians), Jessica Mehta (Cherokee Nation), and Eliza Naranjo Morse (Santa Clara Pueblo). 

In the exhibition, the four artists, who are all from different regions and disciplines, explore diverse cultural traditions while forging new personal identities and investigating topical issues such as the diasporic experience, resilience, and autonomy. Evoking a trek though the surrounding Wyoming wilderness, Field Guide invites viewers to explore the intersecting visions of these artists, as well as their connection to place, nature, and the larger universe. Offering a complex view of the present and past, and a comingling of place and voice, the works engage in contemporary Indigenous discourse while celebrating the vibrancy that Ucross’ extraordinary residency experience offers to each artist who attends. Several pieces in the show were created while the artists were in residency.

The exhibition is curated by Andrea R. Hanley (Navajo). Hanley, who serves on the Ucross National Advisory Council, has dedicated her career to the work of contemporary Native American artists and the Native American fine art field. She started her career at the National Museum of the American Indian, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C., and she was the executive director of ATLATL, Inc., a national service organization for Native American arts. Hanley also worked at the Heard Museum in Phoenix, AZ; the IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts in Santa Fe, NM; and is currently the chief curator at the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian in Santa Fe, NM. In addition to her work at the Wheelwright, she currently serves on numerous boards and is an enrolled member of the Navajo Nation.

Launched in 2017, Ucross’s Native American fellowship program was designed to support the work of contemporary Native artists and cultivate artistic leadership, capacity, and community building. The fellowship award has supported the work of Native visual artists at all stages in their professional careers. Learn more here.

Field Guide is on view through July 30.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Ucross Foundation acknowledges with respect that it is situated on the aboriginal land of several Indigenous communities, including the Cheyenne, Crow, and Lakota nations. Indigenous people continue to live in this area and practice their teachings and lifeways. Today, this region remains an important place for many Indigenous peoples. As a Wyoming institution, we recognize and respect this historical context and are working to build reciprocal relationships with the Native nations on whose lands we are situated. In partial fulfillment of that commitment, Ucross established Fellowships for Native American Visual Artists in 2017 and Native American Writers in 2020.
