Russell Means Lecture, March 4th from 5 to 6 p.m. CalArts Gallery D301

CalArts 24700 Mc Bean Parkway, Valencia, CA, Gallery D301

Once described as “the most famous American Indian since Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse” by the LA Times, and pop-rendered by Warhol himself, Means has been a part of public demonstrations, activist interventions and performances, and continues to be a controversial figure in American politics, art, and culture. Means is also a printmaker and painter, most famously known for his lithograph series titled “Indian Killers” (2004). In an act of “political performance” part satire-part political statement, Means ran for office as V.P. to Larry Flynt in 1984. In Hollywood, his was the voice of Chief Powhatan in Disney’s Pocahontas (1995) and he acted in Natural Born Killers (1994) and Last of the Mohicans (1992). Most recently, he starred in “Palestine, New Mexico,” a work by Richard Montoya of Culture Clash which premiered in LA last month.
