You can hear the screams at Site Santa Fe.

Multidisciplinary Tlingit and Unangax artist Nicholas Galanin鈥檚 solo exhibit 鈥淚nterference Patterns鈥� features a neon sign reading 鈥淭ake a knee and scream until you can鈥檛 breathe.鈥�

鈥淭here鈥檚 been a lot of participation,鈥� said curator Brandee Caoba. 鈥淲e had to put up a lot of warning signs saying, 鈥榊ou may hear screaming in the building.鈥� 鈥�

Galanin鈥檚 show includes installations, sculpture, video and sound celebrating Indigenous knowledge challenging the legacies and consequences of colonization and occupation. Some works read inherently political; others are poetic but unflinching in their critique and disruption of the dominant culture.

鈥淯nconverted/Converted鈥� displays a deer hide next to a painted digitized version of the same object. The piece echoes the conversions that took place during European settlement.

鈥淭he deer hide is camouflage; it鈥檚 waterproof,鈥� Caoba said. 鈥淭hen on the right, Nicholas has taken the deer hide and broken it down.

鈥淚t鈥檚 referencing the way the complexity of something gets lost when it鈥檚 converted.鈥�

Galanin created the 8-foot-tall 鈥淟oom鈥� from prefabricated children鈥檚 school desks.

鈥淭he tops of the desks have been covered with Tlingit form lines with (of course) No. 2 pencils,鈥� Caoba said.

The form lines or drawings symbolize cultural resistance.

鈥淭he sculpture is made to mimic a totem pole,鈥� Caoba said. 鈥淚t focuses our attention on the legacy of residential boarding schools in the U.S. and Canada. The children were often subjected to abuse and neglect.鈥�

Running 'Interference': Nicholas Galanin challenges the legacies, consequences of colonization through art

The Site-commissioned 鈥淣eon American Anthem (red)鈥� invites audiences to participate in a response to legislated violence and oppression by the 近距离内射合集 States on those inside and outside its borders.

鈥淚t references the murders of George Floyd, so many other people of color murdered by the police,鈥� Caoba said. 鈥淗is work is deeply rooted in his relationship to the land and culture, and also his experience of living as an Indigenous man in North America.鈥�

Visitors will see a wolf mounted on Site鈥檚 ceiling in 鈥淚nfinite Weight.鈥� The found taxidermied animal hangs over a landscape video.

鈥淚t鈥檚 kind of like a feedback loop,鈥� Caoba said. 鈥淭he landscape moves. You can see the weather and the clouds moving. It鈥檚 referencing the extent of white colonization and how the settlement of his homeland has been controlled.

鈥淚n white culture, it鈥檚 a trophy of conquest. Wolves are incredibly important to the survival of ecosystems. Who determines the value of other species? The wolf in the work carries the weight of all life.鈥�

Galanin lives in Sitka, Alaska.

As a young boy, he learned to work with jewelry and metals from his father and uncle. At 18, Galanin worked a desk job at the Sitka National Historical Park. On a slow day, his superiors discovered him drawing Tlingit art. He was informed he was only allowed to read Russian history books during working hours. He quit his job to pursue art.

In 2002, he studied silversmithing at London鈥檚 Guildhall University.

鈥淗e had never left the country,鈥� Caoba said. 鈥淎nd he was told he couldn鈥檛 use his cultural roots in his designs.鈥�

The reverse was true in 2007 when he earned his master鈥檚 degree at New Zealand鈥檚 Massey University, where he apprenticed with master carvers and jewelers.

Galanin participated in Desert X, Palm Springs (2021); Biennale of Sydney (2020); Venice Biennale (2017); Whitney Biennial (2019); and Honolulu Biennial (2019). Galanin鈥檚 work is in permanent collections including The Museum of Modern Art, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Philadelphia Museum of Art; Art Institute of Chicago; Detroit Institute of Arts; The National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa; The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; Denver Art Museum; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; and Princeton University. He received an award from American Academy of Arts and Letters (2020) and received a Soros Arts Fellowship (2020).
