  • Jeffrey Gibson, a member of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians and of Cherokee descent, will represent the United States at the next edition of the Venice Biennale, making history as the first Indigenous artist to represent a solo exhibition at the U.S. Pavilion. Gibson, a multidisciplinary artist, draws upon his interests in punk music and rave culture to create a dialogue between modernist geometric abstraction and the Indigenous American traditions of his heritage. Sampling a wide variety of media, Gibson synthesizes traditions to create something completely contemporary and new.
