Spiro Mounds exhibit digs into North America s forgotten past
Oklahoman
Although they have mostly been forgotten in the pages of history books, the Spiroan people, along with other Mississippian groups across the eastern half of North America, created a culture on par with the Aztec, Inca or Maya.
The Spiro Mounds in LeFlore County are one of the United States’ most important ancient Native American sites, and the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum s exhibition Spiro and the Art of the Mississippian World” digs deep into the ancient mysteries of the Spiroan people. On view through May 9, it is considered the first major presentation on the Spiro Mounds undertaken by a museum.
For some, home is the house they grew up in. For others, it’s a country or a nation. Some find it in family, or in the arms of a lover, while others believe it’s where we go when we die. Some say home is the “
pale blue dot
” that is our planet, and still others believe it’s only a state of mind.
Despite a glorious rooftop view of the Empire State Building, when my rent doubled at the Garment District retail space where I was illegally living, I realized that New York City had become unlivable; worse, I had come to feel like a stranger anywhere else in my country of birth.

I had no plan B, nor a plan A for that matter.

Phaidon announces an in-depth survey of the life and work of Jim Hodges

NEW YORK, NY
.- Contemporary American artist Jim Hodges (b.1957) addresses issues such as memory, love, and the human condition in a multifaceted practice that includes photography, painting, and sculpture. His use of everyday objects like boulders and denim, coupled with the adoption of transitory shapes like spiderwebs, speaks to the ways in which nature refracts personal experiences into collective ones. Mysterious, beautiful, poetic, and conceptually complex, Hodges work has the rare quality of being simultaneously thought-provoking and visually beautiful.
