Alum Duane Slick’s (M.F.A., ‘90) first solo exhibition is underway at the Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art in Ridgefield, Connecticut.  “Duane Slick: The Coyote Makes the Sunset Better” brings 90 works — paintings, prints, photographs and video – together to explore Slick’s thirty year career. The selected works include the artist’s ongoing series that reference the coyote as a seminal figure in indigenous culture, as well as paintings that reflect both the landscape of Slick’s upbringing in Iowa and the symbology and beliefs of his heritage as a citizen of both the Meskwaki (Fox of Iowa) and Ho-Chunk (Nebraska) Nations.

Listen to Slick discuss this exhibition on Soundcloud.

“Duane Slick: The Coyote Makes the Sunset Better” is on view until May 8, 2022
