Exhibit Title: Zig Jackson: Photographs From Indian Country Dates: Sept. 29-Dec. 18 Where: Carl Gorman Museum 1316 Hart Hall University of California, Davis Hours: Noon to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, or by appointment Reception: 1-3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 4 Artist: Zig Jackson A solo exhibition of photographic works by San Francisco-based photographer Zig Jackson opens the academic year for the Carl Gorman Museum. Jackson is well known for his satirical look at tourists photographing American Indian people and their homeland with his series, "Indian Photographing Tourist Photographing Indian" and "Indian Photographing Tourist Photographing Sacred Sites." In his latest two series, he has continued to use irony to portray the presence of Native American people in urban settings. In both "Indian Man in San Francisco" and "Entering Zig's Indian Reservation," Jackson has turned his camera from the tourist to himself. In both series he has photographed himself at various locations in San Francisco wearing a Northern Plains warbonnet. With "Entering Zig's Indian Reservation" Jackson has reclaimed San Francisco, a metropolitan city, as Indian country. Jackson is originally from Fort Berthold, N.D., and is a member of the Mandan, Arikara and Hidatsa tribes. He has taught photography courses at UC Davis, San Francisco State University and the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe, N.M. Jackson has a Master of Fine Arts from the San Francisco Art Institute and has been the recipient of the Wallace Alexander Gerbode Foundation Grant, artist-in-residence at the Headlands Center for the Arts, Sausalito, and his work has been featured in the publications Aperture and Photo Metro. Additional programs on the urban Indian community development will be scheduled during the exhibition period. Please contact the museum for more information. The Carl Gorman Museum is named in honor of Carl Gorman (1907-1998) a UC Davis faculty emeritus, Navajo artist and World War II Navajo code talker.
