Join Socrates Curator Jess Wilcox and artist Jeffrey Gibson on Instagram @socratespark for a live tour of Gibson’s new commission for the Park, ‘Because Once You Enter My House It Becomes Our House.’
‘Because Once You Enter My House It Becomes Our House’ presents Gibson’s vision for a monument to queer and Indigenous communities and cultures: a massive technicolor ziggurat bearing a series of assertive statements like “powerful because we’re different” and “respect Indigenous land.”
Gibson’s piece is part of Socrates’ three-part ‘MONUMENTS NOW’ exhibition which seeks to examine the role of monuments in American society and present artist-realized monuments championing underrepresented peoples and marginalized histories.
