Exhibition Home — High Visibility / On Location in Rural America and Indian Country

The Exhibition:
Plains Art Museum, through May 30, 2021

A multi-year project in creation that will result in a two-gallery exhibition and several programs, High Visibility: On Location in Rural America and Indian Country is diverse in content and media. Visitors will engage with installations, performance works, interdisciplinary work, alongside traditional 2 and 3-dimensional pieces chosen to reflect the myriad dialogues of perceptions, realities, and issues of rural life, as well as the social, cultural, and historical conditions which shape their expression.

This exhibition presents a diverse range of artworks, practices, and histories from rural America and Native Nations where rural location is sincerely central to the artist’s creative practice, with a primary but not exclusive focus on the Plains region. National and Regional multi-disciplinary contemporary artists include M12, Raven Chacon, Lisa Bergh and Andrew Nordin, Erika Nelson, Jason Vaughn, Aaron Spangler, Cannupa Hanska Luger, and Athena LaTocha.

High Visibility was collectively curated by Matthew Fluharty of Art of the Rural and the Plains Art Museum staff: Andrew J. Maus, Director and CEO; Netha Cloeter, Director of Education & Social Engagement; Tasha Kubesh, Curator of Exhibitions and Collections; and Joe Williams, Director of Community Education & Director of Native American Programs.

Generous support for this exhibition is provided by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, with continuing research and projects supported through its Curatorial Fellowship support of Matthew Fluharty. This project is made possible in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts.
