About the artist

’s practice explores and questions the conventions of the museum in relation to the current and historical conditions of Indigenous peoples, their objects, and approaches to materials. Strategically working across a range of media, including sculpture, installation, painting, and video, he addresses the contradictions of contemporary Indigenous life within and beyond settler systems of knowledge, representation, and value. Linklater was featured in the 2022 Whitney Biennial: Quiet as It's Kept , at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. In 2018, he installed pêyakotênaw —a public artwork comprising three large teepee sculptures—along the High Line in New York. He received a BA in Native Studies and Fine Arts from the University of Alberta, Edmonton, and an MFA in Film and Video from the Milton Avery Graduate School of the Arts at Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, New York. He was the 2016 recipient of the Canada Council for the Arts Victor Martyn Lynch-Staunton Award for Media Art, and the 2013 Sobey Art Award winner. In 2017, Linklater was awarded a public commission for the Don River Valley Park, Toronto.
