SUMMARY:Jeffrey Gibson: They Teach Love | from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation
DESCRIPTION:Curated from the collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation, “Jeffrey Gibson: They Teach Love” presents a survey of 53 artworks by Jeffrey Gibson, one of today’s foremost contemporary American artists. Spanning sixteen years, this major exhibition bursts with Gibson’s bold patterns and brilliant colors. Gibson, who is of Mississippi Choctaw and Cherokee heritage, blends aspects of Indigenous art and culture with modernist art traditions, navigating and disrupting expectations placed upon Indigenous artists, and bringing messages of hope. By uniting sculpture, paintings, prints, and video with elk hides, tipi poles, wool blankets, beadwork, and fringe, the artist empowers Native American cultures. Punching bags, flags, banners, and illuminated signs are adorned and converted from utilitarian items to art objects that vibrate with spiritual power, carrying his belief that objects, and people alike, have the potential for radical transformation.\nBoise Art Museum timed this exhibition to coincide with the 250th anniversary of the non-partisan, nationwide America250 celebration. During this milestone moment, Gibson’s vibrant and powerful voice will continue to broaden the view of American art history, contemporary times, and our future. Jeffrey Gibson is a pre-eminent artist who is significantly contributing to the American art canon today. He is the first Indigenous artist to represent the U.S. with a solo presentation at the Venice Biennale (2024).\nCurated by Ryan Hardesty, Executive Director and Curator of Exhibitions and Collections, Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, Washington State University\nGenerously supported by the Jordan Schnitzer Family Foundation and the Steiner Family Foundation\nThis exhibition is on display at BAM through July 26, 2026.\nEvent Cost: $5 – $9 | Children 5 and under & BAM Members are FREE\n_____ Boise Art Museum Hours _____\nTuesday – Saturday | 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.\nSunday | Noon – 5 p.m.\nFirst Thursday | 10 a.m. – 7 p.m.\n(Image: Jeffrey Gibson, Native American, Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians and Cherokee, (b. 1972), “SPIRIT AND MATTER,” 2023, acrylic paint on elk hide inset in custom wood frame, 90 x 72 1/2 x 5 in.
