"Slots & Sovereignty" will open with an artist reception 1-3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 12, and will host public events throughout the exhibition. The exhibition is composed of multi-media works in which 12 artists have presented their thoughts about Indian casinos as an issue of tribal sovereignty and as an extension of indigenous gaming and their own personal concerns regarding the impact of gaming on future generations of native people and cultures. The works range from paintings, photographs and prints to sculpture, such as L. Frank Manriquez's papier mâché coyote standing on top of a slot machine, to C. Maxx Stevens' "Lucky Suit," a man's suit adorned with bingo sheets, dominoes and dice. Please call the museum for information regarding public events to be scheduled during the exhibition. The C. N. Gorman Museum is part of the Native American Studies Department and named in honor of Carl Nelson Gorman, faculty emeritus. The museum is dedicated to Native American artists and diverse artists whose works address cultural, social and political issues of the Americas.
