Action/Abstraction Redefined: Modern Native Art Tickets

Action/Abstraction Redefined: Modern Native Art is not your typical performer. This engaging, traveling exhibition experience brings to life the dialogue between Indigenous artistic practice and mid-20th-century abstract movements. Spanning 1940s–1970s innovations, the project centers 52 works by 36 artists and offers audiences a curated journey through Abstract Expressionism, Color Field, and Hard-edge painting as they meet Native contemporary voices. Organized by IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts (MoCNA) with support from Art Bridges, this tour amplifies important conversations across the United States.

As a performer, Action/Abstraction Redefined engages audiences with live storytelling, contextual performances, and multimedia elements that illuminate the artists behind the works and the cultural currents that shaped them. The touring format makes it accessible for museums, galleries, and cultural venues to integrate a rich, scholarly experience with broad public appeal.

Upcoming stops in 2025 include: North Dakota Museum of Art (Grand Forks), Jerald Melberg Gallery (Charlotte), Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian (Santa Fe), SITE Santa Fe (Santa Fe), and Amanita (Bowery) in New York. Each venue brings its own regional flavor while the core narrative remains consistent: a bridge between Native modernity and international art movements.
