Jeffrey Gibson: The Space in Which to Place Me is a comprehensive monograph on the Indigenous artist whose work combines Native American traditions with contemporary art, punk aesthetics, and identity. Through vibrant reproductions of his beadwork, paintings, sculptures, and installations, the book explores how Gibson creates space for Indigenous queer voices in contemporary art. The volume becomes both career retrospective and political statement, proving that Gibson is redefining what Native American art can be and that his joyful, defiant work challenges every expectation.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Gibson's work is unapologetically Indigenous, queer, and contemporary, refusing to let anyone define what Native art should look like. This monograph reminds us that his beaded punching bags are both beautiful and political, that Indigenous artists are leading contemporary conversations, and that joy is resistance.
