I follow threads across generations: an image, a name, a trace in an archive, a memory passed quietly through family. I hold these in relation to the present. So much of what I work with lives in stillness, the kinds of materials that open into larger histories when you tend to them long enough.
My research grows from the histories of the Apsáalooke Nation and the stories carried by my family. These are the lines I follow into archives, the voices that shape how I read what remains, and the compass that guides me toward what the past is asking me to see.
Research, image-making, and material experimentation are part of the same movement: gathering fragments into coherence, giving form to what has been dispersed, and building places where time can be felt; layered, unsettled, alive, rather than reduced to narration.
My work begins in attention and returns there, again and again. Everything else unfolds from that practice.
The paths I trace reflect the ways I have learned to move through the world: with focus, self-reliance, and an instinct for what endures. Through that understanding, I assemble and reassemble history, trusting that what needs to surface will find its way through.
I have always worked from instinct and discipline, and I have never looked away from what is difficult. History is not an abstract subject for me; it is something I grew up inside, shaped by its fractures and its strengths. What drives me now is the same force that grounded me as a child: finding my own way through what others overlook and trusting the work to hold the clarity I live by.
Wendy Red Star (b. 1981, Billings, Montana; lives and works in Portland, Oregon) is an Apsáalooke artist whose multidisciplinary practice is grounded in the histories, archives, and lived knowledge of the Apsáalooke Nation. Raised in the district of Pryor in Montana, her work grows from the stories passed through her family, the materials she encounters in historical records, and the lineage she carries forward. The places, people, and histories that shaped her early life continue to guide her research and artistic process.
Her practice is rooted in sustained attention to inherited stories, to archival traces, and to the ways Apsáalooke history lives across generations. She approaches historical materials through the lens of her own lineage, allowing relationships between memory, record, and lived experience to emerge through time and close looking. Her work grows from this process of gathering, listening, and assembling rather than from any impulse to explain or correct the historical record.
Red Star received her BFA from Montana State University, Bozeman, and her MFA in Sculpture from the University of California, Los Angeles. Her work has been recognized with numerous awards, including the Louis Comfort Tiffany Award (2017), the Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship (2018), the MacArthur Fellowship (2024), the Bonnie Bronson Fellowship (2024), and the Infinity Award in Contemporary Photography and New Media (2024). In 2025 she was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from Montana State University, Bozeman.
In 2019, her first career survey, Wendy Red Star: A Scratch on the Earth, opened at the Newark Museum and traveled to the San Antonio Museum of Art and the Columbus Museum of Art. Recent exhibitions include What It Becomes, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Future Imaginaries: Indigenous Art, Fashion, Technology, Autry Museum of the American West, Los Angeles; 19th Century Photography Now, J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles; The Land Carries Our Ancestors, National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. (traveling to the New Britain Museum of American Art); New Acquisitions: Paul Bril to Wendy Red Star, The British Museum, London; and This is Not America’s Flag, The Broad, Los Angeles.
Her work has been shown nationally and internationally at institutions including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Brooklyn Museum; Fondation Cartier pour l’Art Contemporain, Paris; Domaine de Kerguéhennec, Bignan; Portland Art Museum, Portland; Hood Museum of Art, Hanover; Saint Louis Art Museum; Minneapolis Institute of Art; and the Frost Art Museum, Miami. In 2027, the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., will present a major solo exhibition of her work.
Red Star’s work is held in more than eighty public collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art; the Guggenheim Museum, New York; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Fort Worth; Denver Art Museum; Baltimore Museum of Art; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Smithsonian American Art Museum; Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City; and the British Museum, London, among many others.
