Wendy Red Star: Biilukaaby: Wendy Red Star

Wendy Red Star: Biilukaa
by: Wendy Red Star

Hardcover. Santa Fe, Radius Books, 1st, 2023, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Very Good, Hardcover in a bright dust jacket, 224 pages in color. An artist's book of augmented portraiture, documenting the symbolism and material culture of the Biilukaa (Apsaalooke).Wendy Red Star (born 1981) made her first big move off the Crow reservation to attend Montana State University in Bozeman. During one of her study sessions she discovered an image of Medicine Crow, an Apsaalooke chief, in a random book in the university library. Enamored by his image, she made a xerox copy and kept the chief's image in her sketchbook. A decade later, in 2014, she revisited this image to create an exhibition at the Portland Art Museum titled Medicine Crow & the 1880 Crow Peace Delegation. Biilukaa builds upon this theme of researching historical photographs of Apsaalooke individuals and material culture, with the artist drawing on both her personal collection and works held in museums and archives across the country. Red Star notes, "Since the time I left the Crow reservation I have encountered my tribe's material cultural in every city I have exhibited or occupied. It is incredible that so much of my community's history and material culture is kept in the vaults of these institutions hundreds of miles away from their source." The text features interviews with the artist and members of her extended family, alongside new works of primarily collaged photography. Clean copy.
