Description

Limited edition print Run World Run by Clarissa Hudson, a Tlingit, Northwest Coast, artist 2002. The print was adapted from a collage by Hudson in the Tlingit World SeriesÂ. It features a characteristically-styled Northwest Coast figure running around a spiraling pattern composed of intertwining details from a Northwest Coast button blanket with European derived maps of the region.

Context

Purchased by Anita Herle at The Inuit GalleryÂ in Vancouver. (bio): Anita Herle, CUMMA Senior Curator of Anthroplogy(bio): Clarissa Hudson.Button blankets, symbols of wealth worn at potlatches and other ceremonial occasions, carry crest designs which identify the wearer with their clan and thereby associated resources. The artist highlights a multiplicity of views through her technique of zooming in and out from the close details of the button blanket to the distant views of European derived maps, so crucial to exploration and colonial expansion. The design was produced in conjunction with the Vancouver International Marathon.Exhibited in Making things Public: Atmospheres of DemocracyÂ at ZKM Centre for Art and Media in Karlsruhe, Germany (20 March - 3 October 2005), curated by Bruno Latour and Peter Weibel.
