>DARK LIGHT>>

S culptor Christine Nofchissey McHorse seems full of contradictions. The Navajo artist uses

traditional methods to create ceramics that challenge the notion of traditional Native American art. As a resident of New Mexico, her works are being scooped up by non-Southwest art aficionados across the nation. Her new series, Dark Light, utilizes blackened, mica-rich clay she harvests from riverbeds in northern New Mexico that fires to a sheen that actually sparkles. >

Rooted in timeless Puebloan traditions, McHorse uses the method she learned from her mother-in-

law, Lena Archuleta of Taos, harvesting the clay by and building her forms by hand. Taos potters, like those of the neighboring Picuris, Nambe and Teseque Pueblos (nestled in the foothills and passes of New Mexico’s Sangre de Cristo mountains), have been making micaceous pottery for more than 700 years. The clay of this region is naturally rich in mica particles (metamorphic rock subjected to high pressures and temperatures). When utilized in pottery making and after coiling, burnishing and firing, the mica flecks create a glittering surface upon which light dances back and forth. >

Many Native artists have shrugged off the limita- tions of historicized ‘tradition,’ and as they

actively practice their cultural traditions, they creatively respond to diverse contemporary influences,” said Heather Ahtone, the James T. Bialac Assistant Curator of Native American and Non-Western Art at the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art.>

For McHorse, this creative response results in forms that are studies in sensuous shadows and

highlights, organic curves, smooth spirals and rounded folds. By creating vessel-based art that is undecorated and abstract, McHorse’s work relates more to modern sculpture than to Southwestern culture. As a result, she has been collected both by contemporary art and Native arts collectors.

>

Moreover, McHorse creates objects that speak within a distinctively 21st-century

vernacular,” Ahtone said. “She challenges the potential of the clay’s structural limits and natural pliability to build forms that are organic, sculptural and architectonic.”>

Dark Light: the Micaceous Ceramics of Christine Nofchissey McHorse is on display

through Jan 12 2014 in the Cy and Lissa Wagner Gallery of the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art at the University of Oklahoma. Dark Light is the first traveling exhibition by McHorse and features works created since the series began in 1997. In addition to many of her full-bodied pieces, viewers can see original sketches and design plans on display.>

Interim museum director Mark White said McHorse’s Norman visit, which includes a week of

classroom time in September with OU art students and a gallery talk for the community, reflects the mission of the museum and the endowment’s namesake.>

We are very grateful for the generous patronage of Mrs. Westheimer and her

continued support of art and education at the University of Oklahoma,” he said. “Her endowment continues to combine art and education, and both the university and Norman communities will benefit from this unique opportunity. Christine McHorse is considered to be one of the most innovative forces in Native American pottery today. We are excited for this opportunity to share both the artist and her works with our visitors.”>Dark Light: the Micaceous Ceramics of Christine Nofchissey McHorse is organized by The Ceramic Arts Foundation, New York, N.Y., in association with Clark + Del Vecchio, Santa Fe, NM http://www.ou.edu/fjjma http://www.garthclark.com

INDIAN BINGO18

Jackpot: Oklahoma’s Indian Bingo History, Part 3By Sean Chaffin

According to Sheila Morago, Executive Director of the

Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association,nher group’s very existence and the current proliferation of tri-bal gaming in Oklahoma is a direct result of the tribes’ early success with Bingo.

“What you see now is a direct result of high-stakes Bingo,” she says. “We are now the third-largest gaming revenue generator in the country behind Nevada and California. Bingo in Oklahoma was the base at which we built our current operations. Oklahoma is still the bedrock of Class II gaming in the country and I am sure we will continue to be for the foreseeable future.”

By the early 2000s, Indian Bingo was a success in Oklahoma and tribes began seeking to expand gaming offering to include skill games (poker) and slot machine-style gaming machines (pari-mutuel slots and video poker). A proposed compact was put on the ballot and

approved by voters in 2004. Gaming within the state certainly expanded, but high-stakes Bingo is still an offering at many of the facilities that have expanded through the years.

According to the Oklahoma Indian Gaming Association, by 2009 the state led the nation in the growth rate of tribal gaming. Nationwide, tribal gaming has been on an upswing with growth of $14.7 billion in 2002 to $27.2 billion in 2011. And Indian Bingo remains a popular attraction at casinos

across the country, and Oklahoma.

Oklahoma gaming has made major strides since those early days of Bingo. From Bingo palaces to Vegas-style resort casinos, the tribes have focused on offering a great night out of entertainment –whether hitting that point number on the craps table or hitting that lucky B12 for that super jackpot!
