Durable Remains: Indigenous Materialisms in <i>Duane Linklater: From Our Hands</i>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This review essay addresses the complex significance of materiality in From Our Hands, a recent site-specific installation at New York City's 80WSE Gallery produced by Duane Linklater, an Omaskêko Cree artist from Northern Ontario. Situating Linklater's practice as an instance of indigenous institutional critique––an approach that re-functions postconceptual artistic strategies in accordance with the distinct aesthetic, political, and ontological concerns of colonized native populations––the essay examines the ways in which such work might disable longstanding assumptions at a moment when indigenous contemporary art is receiving increased attention. In addition to materiality, the text focuses on a group of qualities with similarly ambiguous meaning; these include durability, “leakiness,” and sincerity. Against the fetishizing or abstracting tendencies of much “new materialist” discourse, it argues that practices like Linklater's enable a more nuanced understanding of environmental racism, nonhuman or transhuman ontologies, and cultural economies organized around indigenous, non-capitalist forms of labor and kinship.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
