Action Abstraction Redefined features artworks from MoCNA's permanent collection created in the 1960s and 70s. These early works are a visual testimony to the Institute's revolutionary approach to art education that sparked a cultural change within Native Art by defying the standards imposed upon by the dominant society since the 18th century.

IAIA students during the 60s and 70s were exposed to modern art movements such as Cubism, Abstract Expressionism, and Colorfield, and were encouraged to study and experiment with cultural designs, colors, and techniques from their own heritage. The result of this artistic approach was an outpouring of creative expression that received regional and national attention.

Among the artists included in this exhibition are George Morrison (Ojibwe), Earl Biss (Crow), T.C. Cannon (Caddo/Kiowa), Fritz Scholder (Mission/Luiseño), Earl Eder (Yanktonai Sioux), Neil Parsons (Blackfeet), Kevin Red Star (Crow), Connie Red Star (Crow), George Burdeau (Blackfeet), Ralph Aragon (San Felipe/Acoma Pueblos), Henry Hank Gobin (Tulalip/Snohomish), Alice Loiselle (Chippewa), and Carl Tubby (Choctaw). This exhibition will explore how these works fit within the idea of art movements that occurred in Santa Fe as well as art styles that were part of the mainstream art world.

Some of these artists approached their chosen medium in a direct, intuitive and spontaneous way, and as a result their paintings and drawings are very intense and expressive. Several of their works seem to express the artist's inner feelings and emotions. Drips, splatters, and accidental gestures are part of their compositions. Others were interested in experimenting with biomorphic shapes reminding of forms inspired by nature. Some of their drawings are characterized by fields of pure flat colors, and reflect their interest in the effect of color on human perception.
