Jeffrey Gibson: Like a Hammer is a major museum exhibition presenting a significant selection of this contemporary artist’s exuberant artwork created since 2011. Gibson’s complex work reflects varied influences, including fashion and design, abstract painting, queer identity, popular music, and the materials and aesthetics of Native American cultures.

Forgoing the typical didactic interpretation, we chose to organize works through the artists own words, allowing visitors the chance to engage in conversation with the works rather than be told how and what to believe.
