Multi-disciplinary Tlingit/ Unangax artist Nicholas Galanin unveils a monumental, site-specific work on the sands of Faena Beach
The work Seletega (run, see if people are coming/corre a ver si viene gente) speaks to the irreversible choice to move forward without the option of retreating, of charting a new course and never going back and the act of giving oneself to a cause or belief. Asking us to question our position in the world and to consider our responsibility in creating the future and to reflect on what we must let go of to move towards collective liberation. Galanin’s sculptures and multimedia installations engage deeply with social issues, particularly those impacting indigenous communities. His work can also be found in the permanent collections of The Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, among others.
