The Rose Art Museum Announces 2021-2022 Ruth Ann and Nathan Perlmutter Artist-in-Residence Edgar Heap of Birds – Brandeis University
Posted By admin on October 15, 2021
(Waltham, Mass. October 2021) The Rose Art Museum named Hock E Aye Vi Edgar Heap of Birds (b. 1954, Cheyenne/Arapaho) its 2021-2022 Ruth Ann and Nathan Perlmutter Artist-in-Residence. Since 2002, the Perlmutter Residency has been part of the Rose Art Museums longstanding tradition of promoting artists of extraordinary talent whose works address contemporary issues of vital urgency. Rooted within the traditions of his Southern Cheyenne and Arapaho homelands, Heap of Birds paintings, drawings, prints, and sculptural and text-based public art projects provoke critical dialogues about identity, belonging, power and historical narratives of oppression and resilience.
The Rose team and I are aware that the violent dispossession, enslavement, and dispersal of multiple Indigenous communities and individuals by settler colonialism facilitated the very existence of our museum here, on this land. As we strive to repair relationships with Native peoples and the land, we commit to actively learning from, respecting, and amplifying Native voices by pursuing partnerships with Indigenous artists and communities. Inviting Edgar to the Rose is but one step in this long and necessary journey, said Dr. Gannit Ankori, the Henry and Lois Foster Director and Chief Curator.
Heap of Birds ongoing series of public interventions, titled Native Hosts, first begun in 1988, utilizes the direct typeface and design of municipal signage to draw attention to the injustices and violence often relegated to a repressed past. In present-tense statements (Today your host is . . .) Heap of Birds Native Hosts signs insist that the forced seizure of Native lands and the sovereignty of these grounds be brought into contemporary conversations. His Perlmutter Residency will commission the first Native Hosts signs on lands that now comprise the state of Massachusetts andin partnership with the Brandeis University Library and the public arts organization Now+Therewill support the installation of linked artworks across Brandeiss campus and the City of Boston.
As an organization committed to creating more openness and connection in Boston through site-specific, engaging public art experiences, Now + There acknowledges the deliberate and systemic oppression that has created the built environment where our projects occur, said Kate Gilbert, Executive Director of Now + There. We look forward to learning from and with Edgar Heap of Birds and local tribal elders to elevate the presence of past, present, and future Indigenous peoples.
Heap of Birds practice is based in community and conversation. He will begin his engagement at the Rose in dialogue with local Indigenous tribes and individuals. Following these conversations and a public forum to be hosted this winter, Heap of Birds will create a series of Native Hosts signs to honor and draw attention to the histories and continued presence of Native communities. His residency supports the permanent installation of his work at the Rose Art Museum and the Brandeis Library, as well as the opportunity for far-reaching connections and new understandings about the cultures and colonial histories that remain linked to todays struggles for justice and racial equity.
