More Than: Expanding Artist Identities from the American West focuses on works of art created throughout the American West, the U.S. Southwest border, and parts of Canada, viewing how artists embrace various parts of themselves and incorporate these identities into their works of art.

An artist’s individuality and perceptions offer complex, noteworthy, and rich histories that can be frequently overlooked. This exhibition, therefore, explores how works of art speak to the ways artists assume multiple roles, serving as not only as a creator of artwork, but as community members, partners, caregivers, storytellers, knowledge bearers, activists, immigrants, and countless positions not always evident. Taking a critical look at disparate statistics of artist representation in museums, More Than centers on artists who are women, people of color, and persons of intersectional backgrounds. In doing this, TMA engages in a conversation to address inequities and explore opportunities to create a more inclusive interpretation of the American West.

To broaden discussions about ways that identity and the art of the American West genre is viewed and understood, poetry by 2019 Tucson Poet Laureate TC Tolbert and accompanying texts by local community members are included within the exhibition. Moreover, examples of historic works are creatively paired with contemporary art to provide ways to make meaningful connections, link the past and present, and draw comparisons between artists’ ideas, styles, and motifs.

 


More Than: Expanding Artist Identities from the American West
 se centra en las obras de arte creadas en el oeste de Estados Unidos, la frontera suroeste de los Estados Unidos y partes del Canadá observando cómo los artistas adoptan varias partes de sí mismos, y las incorporadas en sus obras de arte.

La individualidad y la percepción de un artista ofrecen historias complejas, notables y ricas que a menudo se pasan por alto. Esta exposición, por lo tanto, explora cómo las obras de arte hablan de las formas en que los artistas asumen múltiples papeles, sirviendo no sólo como creadores de obras de arte, sino también como miembros de la comunidad, compañeros, cuidadores, narradores, portadores de conocimiento, activistas, inmigrantes e innumerables posiciones, no siempre evidentes. Tomando una mirada crítica a las estadísticas dispares de la representación de artistas en los museos, More Than se centra en artistas que son mujeres, personas de color y personas con antecedentes interseccionales. Al hacer esto, TMA se involucra en una conversación para abordar las desigualdades y explorar oportunidades para crear una interpretación más inclusiva del oeste americano.

Para ampliar las discusiones sobre las formas en que se ve y entiende la identidad y el arte del género del oeste americano, la poesía del Poeta Laureado de Tucson en 2019, TC Tolbert, y los textos que lo acompañan de miembros de la comunidad local se incluyen dentro de la exposición. Además, los ejemplos de obras históricas se combinan de forma creativa con el arte contemporáneo para proporcionar formas de establecer conexiones significativas, enlazar el pasado y el presente y establecer comparaciones entre las ideas, los estilos y los motivos de los artistas.
