SUMMARY:Public Lecture: Natalie Ball
DESCRIPTION:Join us at deSalle Auditorium on Tuesday\, April 9\, 2024\, at 
 6pm for a free\, public lecture from artist Natalie Ball. Cranbrook Academ
 y of Art’s 2023-24 Public Lecture Series is free and open to the public 
 in the deSalle Auditorium at Cranbrook Art Museum. Please note the museum
 ’s galleries will be closed\, enter through the Cranbrook Academy of Art
  Library doors.\n\nNatalie Ball (*1980 in Portland) lives and works Chiloq
 uin (Oregon). She received her M.F.A. in Painting &amp\; Printmaking from 
 Yale University\, New Haven.\n\nNatalie Ball\, a citizen of the Klamath tr
 ibes\, is best-known for repurposing and re-contextualizing found material
 s and media that often confront the reductive narratives surrounding Nativ
 e American identity. Working from her ancestral homelands in the rural com
 munity of Chiloquin\, Oregon\, Ball approaches her sculptural work to chal
 lenge the narrative surrounding the Native American experience and history
 . Ball’s use of materials is wide-ranging\, often incorporating traditio
 nal\, indigenous materials with found objects ranging from textiles\, leat
 her\, beads\, and wood to coyote teeth\, hair\, fur\, and bone. It is this
  juxtaposition\, which sometimes bordering on the absurd that allows Ball 
 to create a new auto-ethnographic narrative as she excavates hidden histor
 ies\, and dominant narratives to deconstruct them through a theoretical fr
 amework of auto-ethnography to move “Indian” outside of governing disc
 ourses to build a visual genealogy that refuses to line-up with the many c
 onstructed existences of Native Americans.\n\nNatalie Ball’s works are c
 urrently on view at the Rubell Museum in Miami\, Florida. In 2019 Ball had
  a solo exhibition at the Seattle Art Museum\, Seattle\, WA.\n\nSelected e
 xhibitions include Vancouver Art Gallery\; Sculpture Center New York\; Mus
 eum of Northwest Art in Red Ink\, Washington\; Instute of Modern Art in Br
 isbane\, Australien\; Berkley Art Center\; Museum of Contemporary Art Miam
 i\; La Biennale d´ Art Contemporaine Autochtone in Montréal\, Canada\; G
 agosian Gallery New York\; Blum &amp\; Poe Gallery Los Angeles\; Nino Mier
  Gallery Los Angeles\; Half Gallery New York\; Bortolami Gallery New York\
 ; Galerie Almine Rech Paris.\n\nWorks of Natalie Ball in the Collection of

  Beth Rudy de Woody\, Hallie Ford Museum of Art in Salem among others.\n\n
