Referencing dialogue with peers and colleagues within Indigenous contemporary art practice, this work is the material culture of a citation. The birch bark basket was found by the artist at an antique store; Tahltan performance artist Peter Morin refers to finding cultural objects in thrift stores as a “rescue operation,” acknowledging the dispossession and market influences of Indigenous artists’ work. The text on the basket is a quote from Lakota media artist Dana Claxton given at a panel discussing Indigeneity at the Canadian Art Museum Directors Association (CAMDO) conference. The work points to historical and present-day institutional critique of the circulation and management of Indigenous art by non-Indigenous agents and institutions, and the museumification of Indigenous aesthetics. The work is an act of valuing ancestor artists and references resurgent practices of awakening ancestral objects within institutions… or thrift stores.
