Internationally acclaimed contemporary artist and Cree-Irish Canadian, Kent Monkman, mounts a new site-specific installation at the Gardiner Museum comprised of a nine-foot high buffalo jump topped by two full-sized mounted bison and a sculpture of Miss Chief, the artist’s alter ego. At the base of the cliff, smashed ceramics reference the build-up of bones often found at buffalo jumps, the result of years of sustainable hunting before the decimation of the bison population by European settlers.
