THROUGH MONOPRINTS, DRAWINGS, and dynamic installation, Hock E Aye Vi Edgar Heap of Birds illustrates messages of social urgency in his latest solo exhibition at MoMA PS1, the contemporary exhibition space of the Museum of Modern Art. Surviving Active Shooter Custer reanimates the history of violence and native displacement in Oklahoma, where the artist has lived since 1981. Heap of Birds connects the past and present by addressing both past tragedies and current injustice through a variety of song lyrics, references to historical events, political speeches, and other sources in a series of handwritten posters that mirror public protest.
Surviving Active Shooter Custer will be on view through September 8, 2019, at MoMA PS1 in New York.
