About the artist

Duane Linklater is an Omaskêko Ininiwak artist currently based in North Bay, Ontario, and is currently represented by Catriona Jeffries in Vancouver. 

He attended the Milton Avery Graduate School of Arts at Bard College in upstate New York, USA, completing his Master of Fine Arts in Film and Video. Linklater’s practice, in part, explores the physical and theoretical structures of the museum as it relates to the current and historical conditions facing Indigenous people, as well as their objects. These explorations are articulated in a myriad of forms including sculpture, photography, film and video, installation and text works. 

Linklater has exhibited his work nationally and internationally, including the Documenta 13 (2012), the SeMa Biennale in Seoul Korea (2016), Taipei Biennial (2018), and the Liverpool Biennial (2018). Recent projects include a survey of his work at the MCA Chicago (March 2023), the Whitney Biennial: Quiet As It’s Kept (2022), and a commission at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art for Soft Power (2019). 

The artist also has upcoming exhibitions at Dia Chelsea (Autumn 2025) and Secession in Vienna (late 2025/early 2026). He has also received several prizes, including the 2013 Sobey Art Award and the Victor Martyn Lynch-Staunton Award from the Canada Council for the Arts in 2016.


About the work
I have always wanted to see Alcatraz. In the fall of 2019 we took a ferry to visit Alcatraz island, site of the infamous former prison in San Francisco Bay. 
Since its closing as a prison it has become a tourist attraction and historically significant place in the mythos of America and more specifically for Indigenous people. 
In November of 1969, a group of young Indigenous students and supporters landed on Alcatraz island occupying it for 19 months, creating a school for children, 
a radio station and a small community - a spirited protest articulating a new push for Treaty and Indigenous rights that has resonated until this very day. 
Left behind is the graffiti evidence of their activity on the island. Although I was told somewhere that this is not the actual graffiti but a recreation of it.
