Omaskêko Cree artist Duane Linklater (born 1976) works across a range of mediums, addressing the contradictions of contemporary Indigenous life within and beyond settler systems of knowledge, representation and value. Published for his first major survey exhibition at Frye Art Museum, this catalog offers a timely assessment of the last decade of Linklater’s distinctive art, including site-responsive architectural interventions; digital translations of tribal objects held in institutional collections; sculpture and video works focusing on enduring ancestral practices; and a series of large-scale structures made with tipi poles.

The publication includes conversations between Linklater and his elder family members that function as an alternative form of scholarship in parallel with his work, and is interspersed with photographs taken by the artist and his daughter.

About the artist:
Duane Linklater (Omaskêko Cree, b. 1976, Treaty 9 territory, Canada) lives and works in North Bay, Ontario. He often uses appropriated imagery, lo-fi methods of reproduction, and commercial materials in his work, challenging dominant Euro-American notions of ownership and authenticity. These concerns and strategies have frequently coalesced in explorations of the physical and ideological structures of the museum, especially as they relate to the display (and marginalization) of Indigenous histories. In 2011, Linklater initiated Wood Land School, a nomadic, collaborative project that centers Indigenous forms and ideas in the institutional spaces the school inhabits.
