Corwin Clairmont:
Yellowstone Pipeline Series Revisited and New Works
December 18, 2007 - March 01, 2008
The Missoula Art Museum is proud to feature the Yellowstone Pipeline
Series, a series of 14 color monotypes created by Corwin Clairmont in
1995. Clairmont's work is intimately tied to his personal history of
growing up in the Salish and Kootenai cultures. The monotypes relate
to the Yellowstone Pipeline oil trucks that traveled within the borders
of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Reservation. Through the use
of photography and abstract imagery, Clairmont reflects on the
potential environmental hazards and the loss of life due to the
pipeline. The series was accessioned into the Missoula Art Museum
Collection in 1998 through the generous support of the Meadowlark
Foundation. In addition to the series from the MAM Collection, recent
works from Clairmont will augment the exhibition.
Please join us on Thursday, February 7th, at 7pm, for a screening of
the French television program "Le Magazine de l'Ailleurs" featuring a
segment on Clairmont, followed by a Q & A with the artist.
