Drag Clown Carla Rossi visits "Jeffrey Gibson: Like a Hammer" at Seattle Art Museum

"Approach the art, do not cross the line, look, turn to your friend and say, 'my kid could do that,' and then walk away!" – Carla Rossi Follow Carla Rossi, an immortal trickster and your unofficial tour guide through "Jeffrey Gibson: Like a Hammer." Gibson’s contemporary art combines powwow, pop culture, and punching bags to explore what modernity means within Indigenous cultures. Carla Rossi combines drag, clowning, and entitlement to address complacency, and the confusion of "mixed" identities. See through Carla’s eyes when you visit “Like a Hammer.” This video is one of a series presenting Northwest Native American artists responding to Gibson’s work. The character of Carla was created by Anthony Hudson, a multidisciplinary artist, writer, performer, and filmmaker. Hudson, a member of the Grand Ronde tribe, started performing as Carla as an art project in 2010 and has since turned Carla into a full-fledged persona, body of work, and occupation. Hudson prefers the term "drag clown" over "drag queen" because they are not trying to emulate women. Carla is a tool for critique. When they perform as Carla, Hudson wears whiteface in direct allusion to whiteness, clowning, and as a critical inversion of blackface. Jeffrey Gibson is of Cherokee heritage and a citizen of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians. He grew up in urban settings in Germany, South Korea, the United States, and England, and his work draws on his experiences in different cultural environments. In his artwork, materials used in Indigenous powwow regalia, such as glass beads, drums, trade blankets, and metal jingles, are twined together with aspects of queer club culture as well as the legacies of abstract painting. “Jeffrey Gibson: Like a Hammer” is a major museum exhibition presenting a significant selection of this contemporary artist’s exuberant artwork created since 2011. The presentation in Seattle closes on May 12. _ Jeffrey Gibson: Like A Hammer FEB 28 – MAY 12 2019 #JeffreyGibson #SeattleArtMuseum
