FRED JONES JR. MUSEUM OF ART 555 Elm Avenue, Norman, OK 405-325-3272

The University of Oklahoma’s Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art is one of the finest university art museums in the United States. Strengths of the more than 20,000 object permanent collection (including the approx. 3,300-object Eugene B. Adkins Collection and the more than 4,500-object James T. Bialac Native American Art Collection) are the Weitzenhoffer Collection of French Impressionism, 20th century American painting and sculpture, traditional and contemporary Native American art, art of the Southwest, ceramics, photography, contemporary art, Asian art and graphics from the 16th century to the present. Temporary exhibitions are mounted throughout the year that explore the art of various periods and cultures. EXHIBITIONS Ascendant Webinar Through August 14

The decades following World War II were rife with change on a global scale, no less so for Native American artists at the University of Oklahoma. For this exhibition we consider the Native art students enrolled at OU from 1946-1954 as the “second generation” of Native artists in the legacy of the University, following in the footsteps of the Kiowa Six. These students came to OU at a time of political, social, and personal transformation. Amid such pressures as the Indian Termination Act, relocation programs, the rise of student civil-rights movements, and eventually the Red Power movement (which has roots at OU), this generation of Native artists made strides toward self-determination. Artists turned to ancestral philosophies of art-making to represent their identity, celebrate heritage, and assert individual artistic agency. During this period Native art was becoming increasingly accepted as “fine art.” Institutions like the Philbrook Indian Annual and various schools and art markets were developing toward Indian self-expression and identification—in part because of the influence of the artists who were trained at OU during the postwar decades. This generation of artists is notable as teachers and leaders, whose resounding influence on the vast field of Native American art is felt to this day.

The exhibition explores the context in which this remarkable group of students came to OU, presents their development as artists, and demonstrates their legacy. Curators for the exhibition include instructor Dr. Alicia Harris and student curators Meagan Anderson, Danielle Fixico, Chris Tallbear, Olivia von Gries, and Nathan Young. This exhibition was made possible with generous support from the Mellon Foundation. Resistance, Memory, and Play Through July 3

Since 2005, the Jerome M. Westheimer Sr. and Wanda Otey Westheimer Distinguished Visiting Artist program has provided the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art the opportunity to exhibit work by significant contemporary artists. New media artist Joseph DeLappe is the eighth participant in this esteemed program. Resistance, Memory, and Play highlights the work of DeLappe, who has been working with electronic and new media since 1983. He has exhibited his artwork, which includes online gaming performances and sculpture, in Australia, the United Kingdom, China, Germany, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, Mexico, Italy, Peru, Sweden, and Canada. A recipient of the 2017 Guggenheim Fellowship, DeLappe’s work examines relationships between art, technology, and social issues. Through multimedia, including video games, paintings, and sculpture, he confronts audiences with his perspective on relevant current issues.

Resistance, Memory, and Play: The Work of Joseph DeLappe opens to the public Thursday, April 28 at 6 p.m. with an opening talk about the exhibit with DeLappe. The exhibition will be on display at the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art through July 3, 2022.
