Initially found ed in 1933 as an Asian art museum with the generous donation of Gertrude B ass Warner’s collection of over 3\,700 works of art\, the museum’s col lecting interests have since broadened to artworks from around the world t hat provide even more opportunities for cross-cultural and curricular conn ections. JSMA began collecting American and regional art in the 1960s\, an d now stewards work by artists from the United States\, Mesoamerica\, cont emporary Mexico\, Cuba\, Puerto Rico\, and other areas of the Caribbean an d across the Americas. With our recent acquisitions\, the museum aims to r eflect the voices and experiences of diverse audiences and the new and evo lving ideas\, insights\, and conversations presented by artists in work th at both shapes and responds to culture.\n\nCollecting America: Recent Acqu isitions presents a selection of artworks from the museum’s permanent co llection that demonstrate our commitment to understandings of American art informed by perspectives from local\, national\, and internationally reco gnized artists. Through various materials and practices\, the featured art ists demonstrate the great diversity of art made in or in response to the United States of America. These works invite viewers to participate in con versations on identity\, place\, politics\, and other issues facing our wo rld today.\n\nThis exhibition is organized by JSMA executive director Oliv ia Miller and curators Katie Loney\, Danielle Knapp\, and Thom Sempere\, w ith graduate student interns Aidyn Dervaes (MA candidate\, History of Art and Architecture)\, Parisa Garazhian (MFA candidate\, Studio Art)\, and Lo rna Isaacson (MA candidate\, History of Art and Architecture).

The ex hibition is comprised of six chronological thematic sections — from the power and religion of the Three Kingdoms period (57 BCE–668 CE)\, to the refined aristocratic ideals of the Goryeo (918–1392) and Confucian gove rnance of the Joseon (1392–1910) dynasties\, through vestiges of traditi on after the Korean War (1950–1953)\, experimental practices during the modern era\, and globalization of contemporary art. Each section examines how aesthetic practices respond to the evolving philosophies\, ideologies\ , critical events\, and issues of a specific historical period.\n\n The exhibition begins with materials from the Three Kingdoms period in which are embedded political/religious authority and communal rituals\, laying t he foundation for Korean cultural memory. The Goryeo dynasty section highl ights the refined aesthetics and Buddhist motifs that reflect aristocratic ideals and literati culture\, while also indicating Korea’s participati on in East Asian cultural exchange. The Joseon section showcases art that embodies the Confucian literati values that fundamentally shaped the moral order\, governance\, and cultural life of the period.\n\n The modern a nd contemporary sections focus on twentieth-century art\, which has contin ually questioned\, responded to\, and been shaped by the last tumultuous c entury of Korean history. The first postwar section features art that port rays the remnants of indigenous culture in the aftermath of the Korean War . The next section presents experimental works by artists who challenged t he canon of art by blurring boundaries of cultures\, genres\, and mediums. The final section showcases global contemporary art by diasporic creators \, many of whom have played central roles in integrating Korean art into t he international mainstream.\n\n Navigating Through Centuries narrates the conflicted yet intertwined relationships between art and culture\, ind ividuals and communities\, and socio-politics and history\, inviting audie nces to consider the broad history of Korea through the lens of art. The e xhibition was curated by Soojin Jeong\, 2023–2026 Post-Graduate Curatori al Fellow in East Asian Art\, as well as Heejung Chang\, 2025–2026 JSMA/ Korea Foundation Global Challengers Museum Intern.

S chnitzer and his family foundation. Gibson\, who is of Mississippi Choctaw and Cherokee heritage\, combines aspects of Indigenous art and culture wi th modernist traditions\, navigating and disrupting the expectations place d upon Native artists working within the contemporary art world. By unitin g sculpture\, paintings\, prints\, and video with elk hides\, tipi poles\, wool blankets\, beadwork\, and fringe\, Gibson celebrates the artistry of Indigenous cultures. He adorns and converts utilitarian items (including punching bags\, flags\, banners\, and illuminated signs) to art objects th at vibrate with spiritual power\, carrying his belief that objects\, and p eople alike\, have the potential for radical transformation.\n\nThe exhibi tion’s centerpiece is an expansive and immersive work titled To Name An Other (2019) comprised of 51 screen printed elk hide drums and 50 wearable garments. Originally commissioned as a performance by the Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery\, To Name An Other marks a turning point in the artist’s career whereby Gibson has increasingly sought out collective-b ased projects and performances to activate the communities within which he works. Collaboration is at the heart of his recent social practice. Worki ng and learning together may aid in decolonizing minds and institutions\, revealing a future we wish to inhabit. In 2024\, Gibson was selected as th e first Indigenous artist to represent the US Pavilion with a solo present ation at the Venice Biennale\, further demonstrating how his vibrant and p owerful voice continues to broaden the view of American art history\, cont emporary times\, and our future.\n\nJeffrey Gibson: They Teach Love – Fr om the Collections of Jordan D.
