Since 2024, the luxury motor company Genesis, a subsidiary of Hyundai, has been the sponsor of these commissions. Between September 2024 and June 2025, those spaces were occupied by a sculpture series called <\/span><em><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.studiointernational.com\/images\/articles\/b\/&amp;072-bul-lee-2025\/1000-Installation-view-Long-Tail-Halo-CTCS-2,-2024.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Long Tail Halo<\/span><\/a><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> by the Korean sculptor Lee Bul. However, those works have been replaced by a new series, <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Animal That Therefore I Am<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> by the indigenous American artist Jeffrey Gibson. While Gibson has made use of many artistic media, including painting and performance, indigeneity features prominently in his work. The artist is of Cherokee descent and is a member of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians. Specifically, according to a museum press release, Gibson\u2019s work \u201ccritiques the reductive ways Indigenous culture has been historically flattened and misappropriated.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Each of the four sculptures is around ten feet tall, each in the form of a different animal. There\u2019s a hawk, a squirrel, a coyote, and a deer. The animals are all shown standing on two legs, dressed in cloth and beads, using patterns and colors that evoke the artistic traditions of indigenous cultures. These elements are executed with great skill, despite it being Gibson\u2019s first time working with bronze. Gibson initially created the works by carving pieces of driftwood, which he then scanned and used to make casts for the bronze. The name of the series, <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Animal That Therefore I Am<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, is derived from Jacques Derrida\u2019s book of the same title, which discusses the philosophy surrounding what distinguishes humans from other animals, as well as the ethics of humanity\u2019s domination and killing of animals. Derrida was considered radical in Western philosophy for considering animals. However, as Gibson reminds us, indigenous cultures in North America and beyond have commonly given animality a greater degree of respect through various forms of animism and spiritualism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In giving the animals elements of human material culture, what the artist calls \u201cregalia\u201d, Gibson\u2019s sculptures comment on how animals have been forced to adapt their lives to comply with human encroachment on the environment. He distinguishes between regalia and mere clothing in that the former \u201cis imbued with the ability to transform oneself \u2014 while you\u2019re wearing it, you are a different being.\u201d Animals\u2019 need to adapt to humanity\u2019s domination is further reinforced by the fact that all four animals are native to the New York area, including the Hudson Valley, where the artist now lives and works. Furthermore, the Metropolitan Museum\u2019s location is incredibly appropriate for these works\u2019 exhibition. The museum is located on Fifth Avenue, but is mainly situated in Central Park, the bulk of the museum building jutting into the green space. The museum is therefore located at the threshold between a world made of concrete and asphalt and one that, though man-made, is more akin to nature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Gibson initially conceived of the project\u2019s central theme over a decade ago while painting on elk hides. During a discussion on the sculptures, Gibson said that using the skins made him come face-to-face with the realities of using animals for our benefit. When painting on hides, \u201cyou come across scars. You come across hair follicles. You\u2019re reminded that it\u2019s an animal.\u201d Unlike other forms of anthropomorphization, Gibson does not necessarily give his animals names and genders. Rather, he references the qualities of each animal, the lessons humanity has learned from them, and the many names that they go by in different indigenous languages. The hawk has the title <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">they carry messages between light and dark spaces bia\u0331kak\/dawodv\/hawk<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, while the deer is called <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">they teach us to be sensitive and to trust our instincts issi\/awi\/deer<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">. The coyote has the name <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">they are witty and transform themselves in order to guide us nashoba holba\/wayaha\/coyote<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, and lastly the squirrel is titled <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">they plan and prepare for the future fvni\/sa lo li\/squirrel<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Metropolitan Museum will exhibit Jeffrey Gibson\u2019s <\/span><em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Animal That Therefore I Am<\/span><\/em><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"> on the museum fa\u00e7ade through June 9, 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last Friday, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York revealed a new addition to its fa\u00e7ade: a series of bronze sculptures by Jeffrey Gibson.
