The University of Montana Western Fine Arts Gallery is honored to present “The Magnitude of No One”, a solo exhibition by artist Sean Chandler.
In his own words, Chandler speaks about the works in this exhibition:
“As I define this concept of No One, or this person who is No One, I’m referring to a person that has been directly or indirectly destined to become No One through indoctrination. For me, this process began during the late 1800s during my great grandparents’ time in Indian boarding schools. It was in those places where my grandparents and parents were embedded with the notion that they can only achieve a lower level of success in mainstream America as compared with their non-Indian contemporaries. Eventually, generations later, many of us may fully believe that we can only go so far and never be free to be ourselves. The power of the underestimation of oneself, as well as others’ underestimation, can have a great impact on those that are defined to be No One.”
