The ever amazing Palm Springs Art Museum

We went on the second free Sunday of the month and were treated to Indigenous singers and dancers and also you could even do bead work in the activity room. This current exhibit, Unsettled, is quite wonderful and one of the first things we saw were two Emily Carr paintings on loan from the Vancouver Art Gallery.

Unsettled is a sweeping presentation of contemporary art by more than 75 artists living or working in the Greater West. This provocative exhibition looks to the future while also honoring the past and those who created cultures and places millennia before it was declared ‘unsettled.’
The exhibition’s fertile terrain is a “super region” that runs from the top of Alaska, through the North American West, and all the way down to Central America, and the work created here explores the geography of vast frontiers, rich natural resources, diverse indigenous peoples, and the inevitable conflicts that arise when these factors coexist.

Since there are a lot of photos I'll post over the next few days. Sometimes the explanation comes before and sometimes after. I've left space inbetween so you can tell what goes with what.  A crazy little programming error with blogger.


















This work was called "Erasing the Border"
