The scholarship on Ken Monkman's re-history paintings (reverse-tory paintings? rehearse-tory paintings? ) keeps growing. Most recently, Regan de Loggans (Mississippi Choctaw/ Ki’Che Maya), a two-spirit agitator, art historian, curator and educator based in so-called Brooklyn, New York, on Lenape land, published an article in Canadian Art arguing that Monkman's series "participates in continuing narratives of 'the other' (narratives that are highly visible within the Met's collection) and therefore adopts the colonial gaze he attempts to work against."
