Dance Clubs is a series of objects designed to be held in ones hand for a performance which is never to be activated.

Comprised of gas pumps slip cast in ceramic, coated with a brilliant orange ink, intended to stain ones hand if touched. The visual language is based on Indigenous war clubs of my ancestors - the ceramic and hand carved wooden clubs mirror the ingenuity in creating new technology - These objects transpose power of one idea into another, they are artifacts of necessary behavior shifts and a warning for humanity to pivot from our current actions if we are to survive as a species.

Now on view for BELONGING: Contemporary Native Ceramics from the Southern Plains now at the Louise Hopkins Underwood Center for the Arts, Texas through March 23, 2024. Participating Artists: Karita Coffey (Comanche), Chase Kahwinhut Earles (Caddo), Anita Fields (Osage/Muscogee), Raven Halfmoon (Caddo/Choctaw/Delaware), Cannupa Hanska Luger (Mandan/Hidatsa/Arikara/Lakota), Jane Osti (Cherokee National Treasure), Cortney YellowHorse-Metzger (Osage)

“This exhibit spotlights the diversity of contemporary ceramics practices among Native American artists in the region, and their reflections on belonging based in particular cultural roots, ancestral connections, personal insights, and individual experiences. Curating selected works from eight Native artists, this show incorporates a range of artistic practices from futuristic and customary works based on vessel forms, to more experimental practices that push clay in new directions through multi-media installation and performance.”

Savage Noble, 2017, by Cannupa Hanska Luger This figure, a mashup of man, lion, and scorpion, is Luger’s riff on colonial power and romantic stereotypes. “We see this beast for what it is, so now we may slay it,” he says.

in september of last year the university of michigan museum of art hired an Indigenous artist named cannupa hanska luger to do a monumental statement piece relating to the university's presence on Indigenous land. since luger is a ceramics guy he was like "ok I'll paint the front of the building white using slip made from native clay to make a point about how museums are a white people thing. and it's clay so it'll wash away pretty quick"

it's still white. I think it's so funny

Cannupa Hanska Luger extra credit lecture

        Art and Nature Intertwined

The most important thesis I gathered from Cannupa Hanska Luger’s lecture was how “we need to study and help to understand nature around us instead of dominating it.” Doing this allows us to feel a sense of belonging in our world and allows us to have relationships with others, as Luger went over in his lecture. I learned a lot listening to the lecture about his work, as a lot of what he was saying align with my values and how I see the world. One of the main ideas he discussed was how it is important to connect ourselves and our relationship with the physical world around us. He also discusses how we are an extension of nature, all of these ideas bringing me to the thesis I found most valuable.

Hanska Luger supports his thesis of how it is important to understand nature around us through his work. Most of his work features materials that resemble the earth and nature, one of his most popular materials being clay. Luger uses clay in his work often, as it “signifies our relationship to a place or physical land.” His pieces of art often represent different cultures, as he likes to represent different people in his work. This means “speculatism”, which involves the relationships between others. Luger believes that respecting physical land as well as relationships with others is something everyone should value most in life, which is why he bases his work around it. I find this very inspiring because having relationships with people of different cultures and backgrounds is something I find very important, as well as learning more about the world around me and respecting physical land. If we study nature and respect it, then it can also help us grow relationships with people around the world and of different cultures. Luger shows this in his work as a lot of it is based on different cultures, including natives.

Another idea Luger discussed in his lecture that helped me explore the thesis was how we are “an extension of nature”, in his own words. I believe this means we as individuals are all connected to nature and the physical environment, which is why it is so important for us to study nature instead of dominating it and not treating it with respect. Understanding why nature is so important to our environment and our studies is the first step to becoming a true extension of nature that Luger described. To be in touch with nature allows us to be more in touch with ourselves, and a great way to explore this is through art, as Luger’s work shows. He uses his art projects to spread these ideas to others, and to help educate people about nature.

Luger’s lecture on his art really made me think more about the physical environment around me and how important nature is. I really like how he incorporates these ideas in his work, even including materials that represent the earth. This lecture really helped me understand the importance of studying nature and different cultures, and how it impacts us as individuals and our relationships with others.
