SUMMARY:Daniel Nez: Fractal Lineage
DESCRIPTION:How do you visually tell a story that has been passed down from generation to generation? Diné artist Daniel Nez takes on this challenge in his large-scale loom structures that display fragments of complete paintings. The fractal pieces represent the stories told by Diné elders about the history of their people. The deconstructed narratives urge viewers to explore the installations until they reach a vantage point where all the components align to create a full picture. \nDaniel Nez is of the Water’s Edge Clan\, born for Red Running Into Water\, his maternal grandparents are the Tangle Clan\, and his paternal grandparents are the Water Flow Together. He is an interdisciplinary artist whose work focuses on the continuation of traditional Diné (Navajo) culture through visual depictions of oral narratives. Growing up in a small town in the Diné reservation\, he noticed the dilution of traditional knowledge as he traveled further from his home in search of education. His desire to preserve\, share\, and continue his culture has led him to visually express oral stories that captivate and engulf his audience. Creating a visual narrative\, he hopes to continue the preservation of his culture while simultaneously educating others on Diné culture. \nOpening Celebration\nFriday\, February 24\, 6 – 8pm \nJoin us for the opening celebration for exhibitions in both of our gallery spaces! View Jacob Meders: Familiar Territory at Vision Gallery and Daniel Nez: Fractal Lineage at the Chandler Center for the Arts\, with a short 10-minute walk separating both galleries. \nEnjoy live music from a DJ at Vision Gallery from 6 – 7pm\, and a performance by IIWAA at the Gallery at CCA from 7 – 8pm.

SUMMARY:Jacob Meders: Familiar Territory
DESCRIPTION:Image by Jacob Meders (detail) \nWho gets to tell the story of Indians and cowboys? \nThis exhibition was inspired by 20th century images depicting glorified moments from westward expansion\, a historical period often romanticized from a white perspective. These prints were once part of the City of Chandler’s collection but were not exhibited due to their problematic nature. While the original artist John Clymer may not have intended to offend or portray his subjects in a negative light\, his imagery still perpetuates stereotypes and presents a one-dimensional narrative about Native Americans. Further\, the original representations don’t reflect updated cultural understandings regarding the importance of empowering marginalized groups to tell their own stories. \nAfter these prints were deaccessioned from the City’s collection\, artist Jacob Meders (Mechoopda-Maidu) acquired and updated them to their current status. Viewers will immediately notice the meticulously blacked out figures\, and perhaps wonder who they are and why they have been redacted. By removing the subjects from the prints\, Meders visually represents federal policies – such as the 1883 code of Indian Offenses – advocating for the erasure of Native lands\, language\, culture\, traditions\, religion\, and even people. By gold-leafing other areas in some of the prints\, Meders highlights a history of resource extraction – led by colonizers – that has devastated our physical and spiritual environment\, including the near-extinction of the bison and the receding water levels of the Colorado River\, which remains an issue of utmost concern for Arizonans today. \nWith a deft hand\, Meders carefully adds to and subtracts from the prints\, centering an Indigenous viewpoint and asking viewers to reconsider the stories they think they know about the history of Manifest Destiny and the American West. \nAbout Jacob Meders\nJacob Meders (Mechoopda/Maidu)\, MFA\, is an Associate Professor in the New College of Interdisciplinary Arts & Science at Arizona State University. Jacob possesses a BFA in painting with a minor in printmaking from Savannah College of Art and Design and a MFA in printmaking at Arizona State University. In 2011 Jacob established WarBird Press\, a fine art printmaking studio that he operates as the Master Printmaker in Phoenix\, AZ. \nJacob has exhibited his work in Divided Lines at The Museum of Contemporary Native Arts in Santa Fe\, NM\, ‘Aksum Belle:Afterwards at Jackie Headley Art Gallery and Mǝǝmento: Before at Janet Turner Print Museum both at Chico State University\, Chico CA\, Something Old\, Something New: Nothing Borrowed Recent Acquisitions from the Heard Museum Collection at The Heard Museum in Phoenix\, AZ\, Transcending Traditions at Mesa Contemporary Arts in Mesa\, AZ\, First Americans: Honoring Indigenous Resilience and Creativity at Museum Volkenkunde\, Leiden\, Netherlands\, Mini Wiconi Goldsmith\, University of London and BACA Contemporary Native Art Biennial\, Québec\, Canada. His work is also collected by major universities and other institutions in the United States and internationally. \nJacob’s work focuses on altered perceptions of place\, culture\, and identity built on the assimilation and homogenization of indigenous people. This work often ties into current issues faced in Indigenous communities. His work touches many interdisciplinary approaches and repeatedly plays with the boundaries of social engagement practices. His work continues to reexamine varied documentations of Native Americans through printing processes that hold onto stereotypical ideas and how they have affected the culture of the native people. Often using book forms and prints as a symbol of western knowledge and the linear mind\, Jacob deploys them as a vehicle to challenge new perceptions of Native Americans. \nAnd finally\, Jacob is recognized as an influential public speaker and has traveled nationally and internationally to speak on topics within the indigenous contemporary art world. \nOpening Celebration\nFriday\, February 24\, 6 – 8pm \nJoin us for the opening celebration for exhibitions in both of our gallery spaces!

SUMMARY:Make and Take: Painted Flower Pots
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, February 26 from 1-3pm\, meet artist Lex Gjurasic and paint your own flower pot inspired by Radical Happiness at the Chandler Center for the Arts! Once your pot is painted\, representatives with the Maricopa Native Seed Library will help you plant it with seeds for a native plant to take home. All ages welcome\, and all supplies provided.

Come meet the artist and see the exhibition during this fun event! \nRSVPMeet Artist Lex Gjurasic \nArtist Lex Gjurasic will be present at this event to meet you and talk about her exhibition! \nOver the last year and a half\, the pandemic has left many people in emotional limbo. As a result\, many have sought out coping mechanisms both old and new. Tucson-based artist Lex Gjurasic has stayed buoyant by continuing to do what she has been doing for decades—creating art at an extraordinarily prolific pace. Gjurasic’s recent Flower Mounds series hearkens back to her childhood\, when she found herself in the hospital quite often and soothed herself by obsessively getting lost in the inner world of her imagination. As an adult\, she now activates her passion for drawing flowers to combat anxiety\, which propels her practice and improves her mental health. Through her obsessive process\, Gjurasic actively strives towards radical happiness and hopes that others might also find levity and a path to joy – so c’mon and get happy\, y’all! \nLearn MoreAbout the Maricopa Native Seed Library \nThe Maricopa Native Seed Library provides free native seed to the community through four locations at the Maricopa Community Colleges. By providing seed\, education and outreach\, our goal is to help the public incorporate native plants into their landscapes to create habitat at home. \nLearn More
