SUMMARY:Future Imaginaries: Indigenous Art\, Fashion\, Technology
DESCRIPTION:September 7\, 2024 – June 21\, 2026 \nSamuel & Minna Grodin Gallery \n\n\n\n\nAbout the Exhibition\n\nFuture Imaginaries explores the rise of Futurism in contemporary Indigenous art as a means of enduring colonial trauma\, creating alternative futures and advocating for Indigenous technologies in a more inclusive present and sustainable future. Over 50 artworks are on display\, some interspersed throughout the museum\, creating unexpected encounters and dialogues between contemporary Indigenous creations and historic Autry works. Artists such as Andy Everson\, Ryan Singer and Neil Ambrose Smith wittily upend pop-culture icons by Indigenizing sci-fi characters and storylines; Wendy Red Star places Indigenous people in surreal spacescapes wearing fantastical regalia; Virgil Ortiz brings his own space odyssey\, ReVOlt 1680/2180\, to life in a new\, site-specific installation. By intermingling science fiction\, self-determination\, and Indigenous technologies across a diverse array of Native cultures\, Future Imaginaries envisions sovereign futures while countering historical myths and the ongoing impact of colonization\, including environmental degradation and toxic stereotypes.

SUMMARY:Rose B. Simpson: LEXICON
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition brings together two seemingly distinct art forms: Pueblo pottery and classic cars. In 2014\, Rose B. Simpson\, a mixed-media artist from Santa Clara Pueblo\, New Mexico\, refurbished a 1985 Chevy El Camino\, transforming it with a black-on-black Tewa pottery motif. Simpson titled her work Maria in honor of renowned artist Maria Martinez (San Ildefonso Pueblo\, 1887–1980)\, who popularized the distinctive black-on-black style. Ten years later\, this exhibition debuts Simpson’s second customized car\, a 1964 Buick Riviera painted in vibrant polychrome. Both cars are presented against an expansive geometric design\, evoking the environment of the Southwest and transforming Wilsey Court into a bold\, contemporary expression of Pueblo pottery traditions. Through this use of scale and space\, Simpson forges connections between the ancestral and contemporary\, and forms a new visual vocabulary\, or lexicon\, to assert her cultural heritage and its continuity.

SUMMARY:Raymond LeBeau: Field(s) of View
DESCRIPTION:Raymond LeBeau: Field(s) of View is a solo exhibition by local Pit River\, Lakota\, and Cahuilla artist\, Raymond LeBeau. The exhibition reflects his perspective as a Native Pit River artist shaped by his northeastern California homelands and coastal environments. \nThrough paintings\, drawings\, maps\, and found-object assemblages\, he explores history\, lived experiences\, and the cultural influences that shape his world. Together\, these works form a layered landscape of memory\, place\, and an ongoing story.\n\nRaymond LeBeau: Field(s) of View is\, in part due\, to the Shingle Springs Band of Miwok Indians’ commitment to supporting Indigenous artists. Raymond LeBeau is the recipient of the 2025 Emerging Artists Exhibits Award.  \nOn view: March 7 – July 26\, 2026.\nOpening reception: March 7\, 5:00-7:00pm. Free admission!
