Black Lodge Press poster reading “WHAT KIND OF PERSON WOULD BECOME A COP? WHAT KIND OF PERSON WOULD SO HAPPILY AND OBEDIENTLY PRESS THEIR BOOT INTO THE BACK OF ANOTHER HUMAN BEING? WHAT KIND OF PERSON WOULD CRACK OPEN A SKULL AND SAY THEY ARE JUST DOING THEIR JOB? WHAT KIND OF PERSON WOULD BECOME A COP? NEVER A FRIEND. ALWAYS A BASTARD.”

🙏🏾 @aliciakismeteler.bsky.social for your thoughtful review of Surrendur. Comes out in the print edition of @startribune.com today 🪔
photo of karthik Pandian’s exhibition featuring a void filled with water surrounded by South Indian oil lamps Multidisciplinary artist Karthik Pandian — a professor at Harvard University who has won a Creative Capital grant and exhibited at the Whitney Museum of Art — doesn’t attach himself to one medium, place or time. He calls himself a conductor of energy, an artist who works on developing ceremonial technologies and unsettles the ground of history. His video installation “Surrendur” at Midway Contemporary Art encompasses several parts, all of which feel like a call to action and an immersion into the world he has created and inhabits. In the space between the gallery and the entrance, there’s a table filled with information about Indigenous treaty rights, actions to stop the Line 5 Oil Pipeline, histories of Anishinaabe and Lakota tribes, and copies of the monthly Indigenous newspaper “The Circle.” Get familiar with everything there before entering the second space, the main gallery that functions as a theater and a space for ritual gathering and healing. An 80-minute looped video plays simultaneously on either side of the gallery. Its dreamy editing makes it feel like a visual collage, combining conversations about Standing Rock, the ongoing land back movement, and George Floyd; footage from marches held by water protectors; spiritual narratives about life; imagery of an ultrasound and a pregnant woman lounging near a bright open window. Visitors are invited to sit on one of the two large platforms, which have candles, bags of rice and other objects scattered around them. The show is vibrant and active, nothing like the static space of a white-walled gallery show. Pandian refers to this work as “a machine for homecoming ― a platform to gather, find our relations, receive light and feel the vibrations of a liberated future.” Indeed, it feels like a transformative portal and is the result of his ongoing collaboration with American Indian Movement activist Mike Forcia (Bad River Anishinaabe) and many other activists and artists. In today’s political climate, this space for solidarity feels crucial, especially as the current administration tries to erase diversity, equity and inclusion, slashes funding for the National Endowment for the Humanities, National Endowment for the Arts and Institute of Museum and Library Sciences and cracks down on free speech at universities around the country. At a time like this, Pandian’s work is a hopeful and powerful call for the future. It brings to mind a Martin Luther King Jr. quote: “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.” Because focusing on the present is simply too bleak. (Ends June 10.
