Summary

From Alaska to the West Coast of North America, through Central America and down to Colombia; the region extends across vast distances, and its history, culture and the artists living there are equally full of contrasts and yet often very similar. ?Unsettled? illuminates through some 200 artworks their creative approach in this tension field from the Pre-Columbian period to the modern age.00?The Greater West? is a region which extends across thousands of miles and which is characterised by cultural, historical and scenic variety. It bears within it the legacy of colonialism and is the meeting place for countless traditions and art movements. The use of land and water and the preservation of the environment are urgent considerations for today?s inhabitants. Everything they have in common as well as the differences and contrasts will be found mirrored in the creative work of the artists within the region. With numerous large-format illustrations the volume explores this in depth, covering a period from the end of the fifteenth century to the present day.00Exhibition: Nevada Museum of Art, Reno, United States (26.08.2017-21.01.2018) / Anchorage Museum, United States (03.-09.2018) / Palm Springs Art Museum, United States (2018/19).
