For over 35 years, Alan Michelson has been a leading practitioner of socially engaged, critically aware, site-specific art grounded in local context and informed by the retrieval of repressed histories. Recent exhibitions include Alan Michelson: Prophetstown at the Thomas Cole National Historic Site, the 14th Gwangju Biennale, Enmeshed at the Tate Modern, Greater New York at MoMA/PS1 and Alan Michelson: Wolf Nation at the Whitney. His work is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Whitney Museum of American Art, National Gallery of Canada, the Baltimore Museum of Art and the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian. Michelson’s diverse practice includes award-winning public art, and Mantle, his permanent, site-specific monument honoring Virginia’s Native nations, was dedicated at the capitol in Richmond in 2018. Michelson is co-founder and co-curator, with the Vera List Center for Art and Politics at the New School, of the groundbreaking Indigenous New York series, which raised the visibility of contemporary Indigenous art in New York and beyond. His essays have appeared in Aperture, Frieze and October, and his work has been featured in numerous publications including the New York Times and Art in America.
