The exhibition runs through December 30\, 2012. \nBursting with color and activity Bagshaw’s canvases are vibrant combinations of precise shape\, texture\, translucent layering\, and light. Her paintings range from small to quite large and have an abstract\, Cubist quality steeped in spirituality – a connection to her Native heritage and to her artistic forbears. \nOne wonders if Bagshaw’s grandmother\, Pablita Velarde\, were alive today would she be painting like this? It’s through her mother\, acclaimed artist Helen Hardin\, that Bagshaw traces her creative lineage back to Velarde – a dynasty of independent women artists as renown for their art as they were for breaking the rules. \nIn a conversation with Smithsonian.com on March 11\, 2011\, Bagshaw described her work in relationship to Hardin and Velarde’s this way; “When I paint my own compositions\, I can connect with their independence\, strength and creativity. If I choose to reference something from their paintings in something of mine\, as in my ‘Mother Line’ series\, it is like hearing their message\, but interpreting it my own way.” \nMargarete Bagshaw\, born in 1964\, grew up surrounded by her mother and grandmother’s artwork and the presence of other well-known Native artists such as R.C. Gorman. Yet it wasn’t until the 1990s that she started her artistic journey. Art represented to Bagshaw a “very normal way of life\,” one she was accustomed to when both her grandmother and mother were at home painting. \nBagshaw\, like her grandmother and mother\, has successfully leaped the boundaries of traditional Native art where women only make pottery. And\, she\, too resists being categorized as a Native artist. In an interview with Kate Nelson in the winter issue of El Palacio magazine she said; “I’m in a position where I don’t have to be labeled… I don’t have to call myself an Indian artist to sell my work\, and I decided that it was more to my advantage not to label myself as a particular kind of artist\, based solely on my genealogy… now I know that I can be part of something\, part of that lineage\, without being defined by it.” \nIn addition to the more than 30 works on view in the exhibition will be videos of her working in her studio shot by husband Dan McGuinness. \nThe exhibition opening is Sunday\, February 12\, 2012 from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. \n  \n  \n  URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/1284-margarete-bagshaw-breaking-the-rules/ LOCATION:Museum of Indian Arts and Culture\, 708-710 Camino Lejo\, Santa Fe\, NM\, 87557\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibition ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/1284_thumb.jpg GEO:35.664337;-105.9252387 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Museum of Indian Arts and Culture 708-710 Camino Lejo Santa Fe NM 87557 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=708-710 Camino Lejo:geo:-105.9252387,35.664337 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20120113T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20120422T170000 DTSTAMP:20230614T175237Z CREATED:20111228T062844Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230614T175237Z UID:10001397-1326475800-1335114000@test-dca-mc.nmdca.net SUMMARY:Repeat After Me Printmaking and the Repetition of Form DESCRIPTION:Repeat After Me brings together 21 prints\, primarily from the museum’s collection\, that relate to repetition on two different levels: as process and as image.

Thanks to that once-a-year-and-only-once-a-year mandate\, New Mexicans hoping to share their pride at becoming the 47th state were essentially forced into committing their first illegal acts as U.S. citizens. \nFrom January 6 through November 25\, 2012\, the New Mexico History Museum commemorates that dip into the dark side with 47 Stars\, an exhibit of the officially unofficial 47-star flag. 47 Stars joins a collection of long-term exhibits and a tongue-in-cheek front-window installation to help celebrate the state’s Centennial. \n“Conservation concerns have kept us from bringing our 47-star flags out of collections for public view\,” said Dr. Frances Levine\, director of the History Museum. “But the Centennial was too good of an opportunity to pass up. By letting visitors see these artifacts in specially designed display cases\, we hope they’ll become engaged in the amazing story of New Mexico’s struggle for statehood.” \nUpon achieving statehood\, patriotic residents hoping for a flag of their own found themselves in a bit of a bind: Just 39 days after New Mexico became a state on January 6\, 1912\, Arizona stepped up to the statehood plate on February 14\, 1912. By virtue of coming in second\, Arizona would receive its just due on July 4\, when the official flag of the United States was to switch from 46 to 48 stars. \nBut New Mexicans wanted a flag of their own – one that would flutter from the flagpoles of official buildings and showcase 47 stars\, not 46 and certainly not 48. Eager U.S. flag manufacturers were only too happy to help. Thus was born the unofficial 47-star flag. \nThe 47 Stars installation will nestle within the museum’s core exhibition\, Telling New Mexico: Stories from Then and Now. The Photo Archives at the Palace of the Governors/New Mexico History Museum will also reproduce a 1912 photo by Jesse Nusbaum showing a 47-star flag waving from what was then the state Capitol. \nDownload a high-resolution image of the flag by clicking on “go to related images” below. \nIn addition\, the museum’s Ventana Gallery by the front entrance will be festooned with bunting and the image of parade car celebrating statehood. The car will be presented as a cutout that visitors can pose behind to take Centennial souvenir photos. Visitors can also receive a miniature 47-star flag keepsake. \nTelling New Mexico has a long-term section on the struggle for statehood that includes: \n·        Audio re-enactments of arguments for and against New Mexico’s entry into the Union\, produced by aural historian Jack Loeffler. \n·        A photo of the 1910 Constitutional Convention. \n·        President Taft’s proclamation of statehood and the pen he used to sign it. \n·        The top hat worn by William McDonald to his inauguration as New Mexico’s first governor. \nGetting to that inaugural day wasn’t easy. For years\, New Mexicans working toward statehood encountered ridicule and prejudice against the state’s majority Hispanic and Native American populations.  Add to that mix a reputation for political corruption and violence – along with the machiantions of Washington politics – and it took a multi-generational struggle to join the Union.  \nNew Mexico drafted its first state constitution in 1850\, only to be handed territorial status.  A number of bids for statehood were made and rejected at the national level as continued prejudice hampered progress.  After more than 60 years as a territory\, New Mexicans drafted and passed a new bilingual constitution – the only state to have one – and joined the United States as the 47th state on January 6\, 1912.  \nThe election for New Mexico’s first statehood governor was heated and dramatic.  The expected winner\, Republican Holm O. Bursum\, didn’t garner the needed votes\, and Democrat William C. McDonald won a surprising and resounding victory.  McDonald received his law degree in New York and was lured to the booming mining town of White Oaks\, New Mexico\, in 1880.  He served as Lincoln County assessor\, territorial legislator and chairman of the Democratic Territorial Central Committee.  He owned the Carrizozo Cattle Ranch Company when he was summoned to Santa Fe for his inauguration on January 14\, 1912.  The following day\, his inaugural speech proclaimed: \nNow\, we\, the free\, independent citizens of New Mexico\, have at last come victorious from the battle\, waged for full citizenship in a sovereign state\, in that union established by their wisdom. As we look into the future\, bright hopes of promise appear to some\, and dark forebodings may dim the horizon of others. The past is history; the present is the dawn of the future. It is to the future we look and that future will be what we make it. \n  URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/1144-47-stars/ LOCATION:New Mexico History Museum\, 113 Lincoln Avenue\, Santa Fe\, NM\, 87501\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibition ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/1144_1200.jpg GEO:35.6883465;-105.9381345 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=New Mexico History Museum 113 Lincoln Avenue Santa Fe NM 87501 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=113 Lincoln Avenue:geo:-105.9381345,35.6883465 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20120105 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20120505 DTSTAMP:20230614T175137Z CREATED:20200430T051700Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230614T175137Z UID:10001083-1325721600-1336175999@test-dca-mc.nmdca.net SUMMARY:Between the Lines: Culture and Cartography on the Road to Statehood In the Governor’s Gallery at the State Capitol DESCRIPTION:From a Spanish government that never quite knew where to draw its northern colony’s borders to a Mexican government that disagreed with where the lines eventually were drawn to a Texas Republic that wanted to claim the Rio Grande\, Santa Fe\, and much of eastern New Mexico\, the U.S. government eventually managed to carve out the trusty rectangle we now know as New Mexico. \nBetween the Lines: Culture and Cartography on the Road to Statehood in the Governor’s Gallery is part of the state’s 2012 Centennial celebration. The exhibition explores how cartographers interpreted New Mexico’s land\, its physical and political boundaries\, and the cultural minglings of Native\, Spanish\, Mexican\, and American people. \nBetween the Lines: Culture and Cartography on the Road to Statehood opens Thursday\, January 5 and will be on view through May 4\, 2012\, in the Governor’s Gallery on the fourth floor of the state Capitol. The Women’s Board of the Museum of New Mexico will host a public reception from 4-6 pm on January 5. The gallery is free and open to the public. \n“This exhibition looks back six centuries tracing New Mexico’s history\, culture and politics through its geography\,” said Merry Scully\, curator of the Governor’s Gallery. “The maps on view are interesting\, beautiful and educational. I am happy to open this exhibit as we begin our year-long celebration of statehood. I am sure these maps  will be a delight for the many students\, visitors and legislators who come from across the state to the Roundhouse during the legislative session.” \nDrawing on maps from outstanding public and private collections\, including the New Mexico History Museum’s Fray Angélico Chávez History Library\, the exhibition contains hand-drawn and printed maps from 1564 to the present day.  The maps demonstrate both their utility and appeal as art objects. Each map is accompanied by text highlighting its significance. \nCurated by Dennis Reinhartz\, noted historian and Professor Emeritus at the University of Texas at Arlington\, and Tomas Jaehn\, librarian at the Fray Angélico Chávez History Library\, this exhibition represents a collaboration between the New Mexico Museum of Art and the New Mexico History Museum. The maps on exhibit include: \nAn 1847 lithograph of the Territory of New Mexico done by W. H. Emory\, a major in the U.S. Corps of Topographical Engineers\, who mapped the Southwest from 1844 into the Civil War. The information he included on this particular map proved useful in the Mexican-American War and helped establish New Mexico’s future territorial boundaries. \nAn 1851 lithograph of the Western Territories by E. Gilman\, a draftsman for the publisher Duval\, that erroneously includes the New Mexican lands east of the Rio Grande as part of Texas (a claim of ownership that Texas would cling to until New Mexico became a state in 1912). \nA Rand\, McNally and Co. lithograph from 1893 showing the arrival of the Atchison\, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway—and a few liberties the railway took to attract tourists. \nA 1936 Standard Oil Map published the M.H. Gousha Co. that celebrates the “Mother Road\,” Route 66. Back then\, gas-station maps were given away free with tips on recreational activities and points of interest. \nA 1958 U.S. Forest Service map of the Lincoln National Forest\, home of Smokey Bear. \nA three-dimensional map that encourages visitors to trace the outlines of New Mexico’s mountain ridges and river valleys. \nBesides charting such land features\, cartographers in their own way chronicle our history. They help people define who they are\, where they are\, and how they move about. The story of New Mexico’s shifting boundaries reveals the places where those interests blended as well as clashed. \nDownload high-resolution images of maps in the exhibit by clicking on “Go to related images” at the bottom of this page. \nInformation for the Public:  \nThe Governor’s Gallery is located on the fourth floor of the State Capitol at the corner of Old Santa Fe Trail and Paseo de Peralta in Santa Fe\, NM.  For more information call 505-476-5072 or visit www.mfasantafe.org \nHours:  Monday – Friday\, 8 am-5 pm.  \nAdmission:  Free. \nFor more information\, contact Merry Scully at 505-476-2289 or merry.scully@state.nm.us URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/between-the-lines-culture-and-cartography-on-the-road-to-statehood-in-the-governors-gallery-at-the-state-capitol-4/ LOCATION:New Mexico History Museum\, 113 Lincoln Avenue\, Santa Fe\, NM\, 87501\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibition ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/1399_1200.jpg GEO:35.6883465;-105.9381345 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=New Mexico History Museum 113 Lincoln Avenue Santa Fe NM 87501 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=113 Lincoln Avenue:geo:-105.9381345,35.6883465 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20120105 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20120505 DTSTAMP:20230627T205158Z CREATED:20120105T070000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230627T205158Z UID:10001398-1325721600-1336175999@test-dca-mc.nmdca.net SUMMARY:Between the Lines: Culture and Cartography on the Road to Statehood In the Governor’s Gallery at the State Capitol DESCRIPTION: URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/between-the-lines-culture-and-cartography-on-the-road-to-statehood-in-the-governors-gallery-at-the-state-capitol-2/ LOCATION:New Mexico Museum of Art- Plaza Building\, 107 West Palace Avenue\, Santa Fe\, NM\, 87501\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibition GEO:35.6878097;-105.9381003 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=New Mexico Museum of Art- Plaza Building 107 West Palace Avenue Santa Fe NM 87501 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=107 West Palace Avenue:geo:-105.9381003,35.6878097 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20120105 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20120505 DTSTAMP:20230627T205148Z CREATED:20120105T070000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230627T205148Z UID:10001402-1325721600-1336175999@test-dca-mc.nmdca.net SUMMARY:Between the Lines: Culture and Cartography on the Road to Statehood In the Governor’s Gallery at the State Capitol DESCRIPTION: URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/between-the-lines-culture-and-cartography-on-the-road-to-statehood-in-the-governors-gallery-at-the-state-capitol/ LOCATION:New Mexico History Museum\, 113 Lincoln Avenue\, Santa Fe\, NM\, 87501\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibition GEO:35.6883465;-105.9381345 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=New Mexico History Museum 113 Lincoln Avenue Santa Fe NM 87501 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=113 Lincoln Avenue:geo:-105.9381345,35.6883465 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20120105 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20120505 DTSTAMP:20230614T175136Z CREATED:20111231T050439Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230614T175136Z UID:10001081-1325721600-1336175999@test-dca-mc.nmdca.net SUMMARY:Between the Lines: Culture and Cartography on the Road to Statehood In the Governor’s Gallery at the State Capitol DESCRIPTION:From a Spanish government that never quite knew where to draw its northern colony’s borders to a Mexican government that disagreed with where the lines eventually were drawn to a Texas Republic that wanted to claim the Rio Grande\, Santa Fe\, and much of eastern New Mexico\, the U.S. government eventually managed to carve out the trusty rectangle we now know as New Mexico. \nBetween the Lines: Culture and Cartography on the Road to Statehood in the Governor’s Gallery is part of the state’s 2012 Centennial celebration.

The exhibition runs through February 23\, 2014. \nAll objects tell a story\, if you know the right questions to ask. At the time the baskets in this exhibition were collected little to no information was recorded; the weaver’s names are largely unknown. Nonetheless\, each basket has an identity\, a woven identity. The identity of each basket—where it was made; when it was made; who made it; who it was made for; why it was made—by “reading” its individual characteristics. \nTo read a basket five principal traits must be taken into account: material\, construction\, form and design\, and utility. Woven Identities is divided into five sections representing these essential and diagnostic Native American basketry traits. If you ever wanted to learn the language of baskets\, begin your journey with this exhibition. \nOn exhibit are baskets woven by artists representing 60 cultural groups\, today referred to as tribes\, bands\, or pueblos. The weavers’ ancestral lands are in six culture areas of Western North America: The Southwest\, Great Basin\, Plateau\, California\, the Northwest Coast\, and the Arctic. \nBaskets can be functional. Burden baskets were for carrying. The improbable task of cooking was done in baskets—heated stones were added to food and liquid contents in meal preparation. Water was carried and clams collected in others. Baskets also served as hats (especially\, but not exclusively\, to the tourist trade). \nYet\, function does not trump beauty. Basket making techniques are inherently attractive. Among the baskets on view are examples of false embroidery\, cross weave\, plaiting\, and coiling. Materials like wrapped twine\, corn husk\, roots\, rhizomes\, stems\, branches\, leaves\, grass\, and cedar bark add their own good looks. \nOf the 241 baskets in the exhibition\, only 45 have been attributed to individual artists.

Using calligraphy\, engravings\, enameling and more\, the artists featured put a  contemporary twist on documents ranging from handbills to Bibles. \nCurated by Palace Press Director Tom Leech\, the exhibition includes: \n■ The Pennyroyal Caxton Bible\, a contemporary Old and New Testament in two volumes\, illustrated with phenomenally detailed woodcuts by Barry Moser. Several of Moser’s prints are also on display\, revealing a unique artistic vision of figures like John the Baptist. \n■ Two books by Santa Fe santero Ramón José López: a contemporary Book of Hours on parchment tanned by the artist\, and a book of engravings based on iconography found in Mexican prints of the 17th and 18th centuries. Four of López’s engraved copper plates are also on display. \n■ Samples of lettering by stone carver John Benson\, who was\, until his retirement\, the proprietor of the John Stevens Shop\, one of the oldest businesses in the United States. Benson carved the lettering on the grave of John F. Kennedy and on the FDR Memorial on the National Mall in Washington\, D.C. \n■ A fired-enamel calligraphic wall “mural” and enameled Celtic lettering tiles by Colorado artist Patricia Musick. \n■ Examples of calligraphy by the late Raphael Boguslav\, including sketches that were recently collected in a book published by Fisher Press in Santa Fe. \n■ A handmade paper “lantern book” alphabet by paper artist Helen Heibert. \nWith this exhibition and The Saint John’s Bible\, the museum reaches both back in time and forward to celebrate what is all too quickly disappearing from our lives. \nDownload high-resolution images from the exhibition by clicking on “Go To Related Images\,” at below.

Having studied biology\, Berman’s images reveal the rugged beauty of the land\, but also the evolution of that eco-system. \nDavid Taylor’s large scale color photographs are from an on-going project to locate and document all 276 of the monuments that delineate the international border between the United State and Mexico. \nConnie Samaras documents the building of Spaceport America in southern New Mexico. Her pictures reveal the history of the land and speculation about the future. \nAll three photographers bring into focus a landscape that exists within a frame that that is biological\, political and hypothetical. \nMichael Berman and David Taylor are both Guggeheim Foundation Fellows\, and Connie Samaras is a full professor at the University of California\, Irvine.  \n  \nMedia Contacts: \nMerry Scully\, Governor’s Gallery Curator \nmerry.scully@state.nm.us \n505-476-2289 \n  \nSteve Cantrell\, PR Manager \n505-476-1144 \nsteve.cantrell@state.nm.us \n  \n### \n  \nThe New Mexico Museum of Art is a division of the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs.

Its leap into what was then the cutting edge of technology sounded a death knell for a form of the book still cherished today: the handwritten\, illuminated Bible. \nSome 550 years later\, the senior scribe to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s Crown Office at the House of Lords approached the Benedictine monks of Saint John’s Abbey and University in Collegeville\, Minn.\, with a proposal. \nSince childhood\, Donald Jackson had dreamed of creating a handwritten and illuminated Bible in the pre-Gutenberg style. In the early 1990s\, while attending a retreat at New Mexico’s Ghost Ranch\, he sketched out a concept piece\, Christ in the Desert\, expanding on that dream. After showing it to the monks in 1995\, he received the go-ahead to create what is now known as The Saint John’s Bible – an entire handwritten Bible with illumination\, calligraphy\, the finest materials\, and the staying power of 2\,000 years. \nIn 2000\, Jackson and a crew of artists and calligraphers began the first of 1\,150 vellum pages. This fall\, the project achieved completion\, when Jackson wrote the word “Amen” on the final page of the Book of Revelation. Before being bound into volumes and placed on permanent exhibition at Saint John’s Abbey\, 44 pages from two of its seven volumes – Prophets and Wisdom Books – will be exhibited at the New Mexico History Museum. \nDownload high-resolution images from the exhibition by clicking on “Go to related images” at the bottom of this page. \nIlluminating the Word: The Saint John’s Bible will be on display in the museum’s second-floor Albert and Ethel Herzstein Gallery from Oct. 23 through December 30\, 2012.  The exhibit shares its space and spirit with Contemplative Landscape\, an array of black-and-white photographs celebrating the ties between landscape\, art\, architecture and sacred rituals in the Land of Enchantment. \nAlso part of the exhibitions: \nA page from the 550-year-old Gutenberg Bible.Early editions of the King James Bible\, this year celebrating its 400th anniversary. \n \nThe Letter\, the Word & the Book\, a small exhibit of books and lettering in the Mezzanine Gallery from Nov. 18\, 2011\, to April 15\, 2012. \nFree lectures\, performances and calligraphy workshops. \nAn evening with Donald Jackson\, artistic director of The Saint John’s Bible and senior scribe to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth’s Crown Office at the House of Lords. \n“I consider this to be the artistic equivalent of the Apollo moon mission\,” said Tom Leech\, curator of the Palace Press. ”The Saint John’s Bible sets a standard of excellence that will never again be approached in our lifetimes. Combined with Contemplative Landscape\, it offers visitors an opportunity to witness a historic burst of creativity and craftsmanship\, and to reflect on their own spirituality\, whatever form that may take.” \nProphets\, completed in April 2005\, includes 232 pages and 20 illuminations from the books of Isaiah\, Jeremiah\, Ezekiel\, Daniel\, Amos and Zechariah. Illuminated pages in the History Museum’s exhibition will include Vision of Isaiah\, Messianic Predictions\, Suffering Servant\, Vision at Chebar\, Valley of the Dry Bones\, Vision of the New Temple\, Vision of the Son of Man\, Demands of Social Justice\, and Rejoice. \nWisdom Books\, completed in July 2006\, includes 136 pages and 24 illuminations from the books of Job\, Proverbs\, Ecclesiastes\, Song of Solomon\, and Sirach. Illuminated pages in the History Museum’s exhibition will include the Job Frontispiece\, Wisdom Woman\, Garden of Desire\, Seven Pillars of Wisdom\, and Creation\, Covenant\, Shekinah\, Kingdom. \nIn commissioning the project\, the monks of Saint John’s revived a medieval tradition in which monasteries preserved knowledge and culture for the sake of the greater community. The Saint John’s Bible represents their commitment to the study of scripture and to educational\, artistic and spiritual pursuits. \nCrafted with turkey\, goose and swan quills\, century-old handmade inks\, hand-ground pigments\, and gold and silver leaf gild on calfskin vellum\, The Saint John’s Bible will collectively weigh over 350 pounds and measure roughly 2’ tall by 3’ wide when open. Guided by a combination of artistic skill and cutting-edge computer-assisted layouts\, the project takes its place among the milestones of sacred literature.  \n“I hope some of the emotion that we have collectively managed to put into the Bible will touch the hearts and emotions of those people who look at what we put onto the pages\,” said Jackson\, whose Ghost Ranch-era painting will be shown for the first time in this exhibit. \n Visitors will find themselves drawn into reading the words of the text rather than skimming past them. Observant readers will note a variety of details: The illuminated letters starting each chapter are individually unique – a goal that proved a challenge when devising decorative T’s\, given how often the word “the” begins a sentence in the English language. Artistic and clever techniques were also employed by the scribes and artists to deal with “errata” – those perfectly human mistakes that crop up in even the most divine texts. In addition\, each of those scribes had to learn a calligraphic script specially designed by Jackson for the project. \nAlong with members of the monastic community of Saint John’s Abbey\, Episcopalian\, Protestant and Jewish advisers helped form the vision of The Saint John’s Bible\, which blends scientific advancements and anthropological understandings with the traditional text of the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible. Contemporary aspects include its reflections of science\, technology and space; its multicultural and interreligious imagery; and its depiction of women. Advanced technologies have also been used to create a digital template of the Bible. \n“It’s the one thing we’ll probably be remembered for 500 years from now\,” said Eric Hollas OSB\, a monk of Saint John’ Abbey and associate director of arts and culture at Saint John’s University. “The buildings will go. Most of the buildings that all of us see today are going to be gone 500 years from now. And oddly enough\, this one piece of human artistic achievement will probably still be here.” \n(More information about The Saint John’s Bible is available on The Saint John’s Bible web site; http://www.saintjohnsbible.org/.) \nIlluminating the Word: The Saint John’s Bible and Contemplative Landscape are generously supported by the New Mexico Humanities Council\, the Scanlon Family Foundation\, and the Museum of New Mexico Foundation. \n \nLectures\, workshops and performances for Illuminating the Word: The Saint John’s Bible and Contemplative Landscape will be held in the History Museum Auditorium and are free with admission unless otherwise noted.

During the year he spent living with the Benedictine monks\, they allowed him to document their daily activities and rituals\, both contemplative and secular. \nO’Brien’s work from that era now forms the heart of a new exhibition at the New Mexico History Museum\, Contemplative Landscape\, Oct. 23\, 2011\, through Dec. 30\, 2012\, exploring how photographers see the state’s meditative topography: the land\, art\, architecture\, and people who build and populate the sacred. \nDownload high-resolution images from the exhibit by clicking on “Go to related images” at the bottom of this page. \nDrawing on the extensive holdings of the Photo Archives\, with the participation of contemporary photographers\, Contemplative Landscape’s black-and-white photographs explore the emotional and ceremonial practices of people as varied as Buddhists\, Catholics\, Protestants\, Jews\, and Sikhs\, to name just a few of the diverse faith-based communities who call New Mexico home. \nThroughout our time\, creativity and spirituality have blended in ways as monumental and communal as the world’s great cathedrals and as small and personal as a roadside descanso marking another person’s passage from the earth. \n“The idea is to think about the spiritual\, however it manifests for the viewer personally\,” said Mary Anne Redding\, curator of the Photo Archives. “What is considered sacred or contemplative varies. What these places have in common is that they draw people to them either in the built or natural environment. Each is infused with an energy that collects over time as people come together or seek enlightenment. New Mexico encompasses and encourages radically different religious practices. Each of these communities adds a different perspective to the meaning of religion and contributes their practices to the diversity of spiritual belief.” \nContemplative Landscape shares its space and spirit with Illuminating the Word: Saint John’s Bible (Oct. 23\, 2011\, through December 30\, 2012) in the museum’s second-floor Albert and Ethel Herzstein Gallery. As part of the exhibition design\, visitors will be invited to enter a contemplative area to pray\, meditate or simply sit in silence – opportunities too often lacking in the 21st-century world. \nIn addition to O’Brien\, photographers represented in the exhibit include: \nWyatt Davis\, Tyler Dingee\, Ferenz Fedor\, Miguel Gander\, Laura Gilpin\, Kirk Gittings\, Cary Herz\, Debora Hunter\, William Henry Jackson\, Ernest Knee\, Paul Logsdon\, Elliott McDowell\, Teresa Neptune\, Jesse L. Nusbaum\, T. Harmon Parkhurst\, Edward Ranney\, David Robin\, Janet Russek\, Sharon Stewart\, Don J. Usner\, Adam Clark Vroman\, Nancy Hunter Warren\, George Ben Wittick. \nThe photographers have used their work to explore and renew their faith\, even challenge their own and others’ beliefs. The result is an exhibit that marries an adobe morada abandoned by the Penitentes to processions of robe-clad monks carrying out the Stations of the Cross in desert canyons. For so many of these photographers\, their images illuminate their personal quests. \nAward-winning photographer Cary Herz\, who died in 2008\, was working on a project in the Las Vegas\, N.M.\, Jewish Cemetery in 1985 when someone told her of other Jews in New Mexico – people who had practiced their faith in secret. As Herz began investigating\, she found slides of grave markers that appeared to contain Jewish symbols\, a discovery that led her to cover 10\,000 miles documenting the lives of people in Texas\, New Mexico\, Colorado and Arizona\, the descendents of a secret history that has its roots in the Spanish and Portugese Inquisitions. \nAnother example is photographer Kirk Gittings\, who was hired by New Mexico magazine to photograph the rapidly deteriorating historic churches of northern New Mexico. Through that work\, he and writer Michael Miller won a National Endowment for the Arts grant that for four years allowed Gittings to immerse himself in Catholic spirituality. Given the keys to a church to photograph at his leisure\, he would sit in the pews\, breathe the scent of candlewax and reconnect with the saints. A few years later\, he converted to Catholicism. \nOf his own work\, Edward Ranney says: “The petroglyphs associated with the ancient Pueblo sites in New Mexico’s Galisteo Basin give us an entry to the imaginative and religious world-view of these early Pueblo people. In addition\, as Lucy Lippard has observed\, they `focus space\,’ and make visible the Pueblo people’s concerns and beliefs\, and their relationship with their gods.” \nAnd\, says Teresa Neptune: “My camera serves as a tool for my own awareness; with it I challenge myself to constantly pay more attention and see the world in a more creative way. Every landscape\, every street has the potential to be seen contemplatively. What a joy to share and celebrate this way of seeing in “Contemplative Landscape.” \nThe Photo Archives at the Palace of the Governors recently acquired 20 of O’Brien’s images from his Monastery of Christ in the Desert portfolio. O’Brien’s experiences in the monastery are the subject of his new book with writer Christopher Merrill\, Light in the Desert: Photographs from the Monastery of Christ in the Desert (Museum of New Mexico Press)\, debuting with the exhibition. \nA New York City native\, O’Brien began his photography career in 1973 at the Santa Fe New Mexican\, the Santa Fe Reporter and the Albuquerque Journal North. His work has appeared in national and international publications\, including Life magazine\, Time\, Newsweek\, and the New York Times Sunday Magazine. He has also worked with the Ford Foundation on a land-use project on Zuni Pueblo\, as well as a water-works project in the colonias along the Texas border for the Pew Foundation. \nAmong the places that have exhibited his work: the Museum of Our National Heritage\, Massachusetts; the Southeast Museum of Photography\, Florida; the Adham Center of Photography\, Cairo\, Egypt; The Newseum in New York and the Sag Harbor Picture Gallery. In 1990\, O’Brien was awarded the first Eliot Porter Foundation Grant for his work in Afghanistan. He has taught documentary photography and was director of the Documentary Studies Program at the Santa University of Art and Design (formerly the College of Santa Fe)\, where he is on the faculty at the Narion Center of Photographic Arts.   \nIn 1989\, while on assignment for Life magazine\, he was taken prisoner in Afghanistan for six weeks\, an experience that led to his 1994-95 sojourn at Christ in the Desert as a practicing member of the contemplative community. \n \n“You sit in that chapel and the light dances throughout the day\,” O’Brien said. “It can go from just plain to pure beauty. I began to look at things a little differently. I began to be more aware of what it was that I was looking at and really taking my time. And the willingness to let things go.” \nFounded in the town of Abiquiu in 1964\, the Monastery of Christ in the Desert follows the Benedictine life with no external apostolates. It maintains a guesthouse for private retreats where men and women can share the Divine Office and Mass in the Abbey Church with the monks. Set in the Chama Canyon\, about 75 miles north of Santa Fe\, the monastery is surrounded by miles of wilderness\, assuring solitude and quiet. \nIlluminating the Word: The Saint John’s Bible and Contemplative Landscape are generously supported by the New Mexico Humanities Council\, the Scanlan Family Foundation\, and the Museum of New Mexico Foundation. \n \nLectures\, workshops and performances for Illuminating the Word: The Saint John’s Bible and Contemplative Landscape will be held in the History Museum Auditorium and are free with admission unless otherwise noted.

Until the mid-twentieth century\, Macedonian women wove\, embroidered\, and wore magnificent ensembles of dress that indicated to a knowing eye what village and region they came from and where they were in the cycle of life. From puberty through betrothal\, marriage\, child bearing\, and old age\, dress changed to reflect status change. Historic ensembles\, no longer made but preserved in the museum\, also illustrate the tumultuous political history of the region; pan-Slavic\, Byzantine\, and Ottoman influences can be seen in embroidered motifs\, materials\, garments\, and jewelry. The outstanding collection the Museum has dates primarily from 1890 to 1920 with some later pieces from the 1950s. The exhibit featrured 27 mannequins in multi-layered ensembles as well as individual garments and pieces of jewelry belonging to Museum of International Folk Art; the Collection was made complete with a large donation from the Macedonian Arts Council» so that it is today the largest and most comprehensive museum collection in the United States.

The exhibit runs Sept. 16-March 4\, 2012\, in the John Gaw Meem Room. \nThe exhibit includes: Eighteen of Brandi’s contemporary haiga (haiku poems accompanied by brush art work) that find their source in the poet-painters of 17th-century Japan. The haiga will be displayed on papers marbled by Palace Press Curator Tom Leech in the Japanese technique of suminagashi (black ink floating).  Six hand-tinted albumen photographs from a collection of late 19th-century images of Japan from the Photo Archives at the Palace of the Governors\, paired with excerpts from the travel diaries of 17th-century haiku master Matsuo Basho. A new marbled broadside from the Palace Press featuring a prose poem by Brandi. \nDownload high-resolution images from the exhibit by clicking on “G to related images\,” below. \nTo kick off the exhibition\, poet John Brandi will speak on “Haiku Painting: The History of Haiga\,” and read haiku from his new book\, Seeding the Cosmos (La Alameda Press)\, a selection of 30 years of his work from New Mexico and abroad. The event begins at 6 pm on Friday\, Sept. 16\, in the John Gaw Meem Room. In this high-spirited program\, Brandi’s poems will be accompanied by JB Bryan on alto sax. \nThe event is free\, but seating is limited. \nBesides reading from his work\, Brandi will talk about the practice of haiku in everyday life\, the art of haibun (prose punctuated by a haiku)\, and aspects of haiga. Nonoguchi Ryūho\, a 17th-century poet\, was the first person to regularly include paintings alongside his calligraphy\, although Japanese poetry was often enhanced by images for centuries prior. \nBrandi\, a Southern California native\, was encouraged by his parents toward the art of traveling\, witnessing\, writing and painting. After graduating from Cal State Northridge\, he joined the Peace Corps and worked with Andean farmers. Returning home\, he made contact with Beat Generation poet Gary Snyder. In 1971\, he moved to New Mexico and\, in his early years here\, traveled with Japanese poet Nanao Sakaki\, and compiled That Back Road In\, the first of his many poetry collections. In 1979\, he received a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship for Poetry. \nModern American haiku is said to have been given new life by Jack Kerouac\, author of the Beat classic\, On the Road. Brandi was a consultant for the museum’s 2007 Kerouac exhibit\, Jack Kerouac and the Writer’s Life. As a poet\, Brandi owes much to the West Coast Beat tradition\, but he also refers to poets as diverse as Federico Garcia Lorca\, Pablo Neruda\, and Matsuo Basho as influences. As a painter\, he says\, his practice as poet-painter-traveler harkens back to the 8th-century Chinese master Wang Wei.  \n  \n  URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/from-a-distant-road-2/ LOCATION:New Mexico History Museum\, 113 Lincoln Avenue\, Santa Fe\, NM\, 87501\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibition ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/1178_1200.jpg GEO:35.6883465;-105.9381345 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=New Mexico History Museum 113 Lincoln Avenue Santa Fe NM 87501 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=113 Lincoln Avenue:geo:-105.9381345,35.6883465 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20110916 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20120530 DTSTAMP:20230627T205249Z CREATED:20110916T060000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230627T205249Z UID:10001391-1316131200-1338335999@test-dca-mc.nmdca.net SUMMARY:From a Distant Road DESCRIPTION: URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/from-a-distant-road/ LOCATION:New Mexico History Museum\, 113 Lincoln Avenue\, Santa Fe\, NM\, 87501\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibition GEO:35.6883465;-105.9381345 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=New Mexico History Museum 113 Lincoln Avenue Santa Fe NM 87501 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=113 Lincoln Avenue:geo:-105.9381345,35.6883465 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20110811T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20111002T050000 DTSTAMP:20230614T175235Z CREATED:20110811T224758Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230614T175235Z UID:10001389-1313056800-1317531600@test-dca-mc.nmdca.net SUMMARY:New Native Photography\, 2011 DESCRIPTION:New Native Photography\, 2011\, opens Friday\, August 12\, 6 p.m. at the New Mexico Museum of Art in collaboration with the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts (SWAIA).

With The Arts of Survival we continued our examination of issues threatening the survival of the traditional arts\, bringing them to the attention of our visitors\,” Dr\, Bol continued; “As the largest folk art museum in the world we believe it is our responsibility to address issues that threaten to disrupt folk arts – and in the case of this exhibition – the effect of natural disaster on the folk art community.” \nThe Arts of Survival featured work by folk artists— poetry\, spoken word\, and photographic and video documentation to explore the many ways in which a country’s traditional arts and artists rally in times of disaster\, to rebuild and renew\, one day at a time. As tragic events and terrible forces become part of carnival masks\, scrolls\, paintings\, and vodou flags\, the events are memorialized and the pain they brought is brought to a manageable state. When the force of the Earth breaks the world into pieces\, the pieces can be collected and sold to bring an artist a step closer to economic recovery. \nVisitors to this second ‘Gallery of Conscience’ exhibit saw the devastation of the Haitian earthquake emblazoned into the carnival masks and sequined vodou flags; how a New Orleans quilter took the flood-stained bedclothes of her neighbors ruined home and made art that both restores and represents. Visitors heard the voices of the women whose centuries old tradition of ralli quilts bring comfort and color to the millions of flood refugees living in tent cities in Pakistan\, and the puppeteers of Indonesia who incorporate the news of recent volcanic eruptions into their wayang performances. \n  \n   URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/1056-the-arts-of-survival-folk-expression-in-the-face-of-natural-disaster-in-the-gallery-of-conscience/ LOCATION:Museum of International Folk Art\, 706 Camino Lejo\, on Museum Hill\, Santa Fe\, NM\, 87504\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibition ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/survival.jpg GEO:35.6641155;-105.9265695 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Museum of International Folk Art 706 Camino Lejo on Museum Hill Santa Fe NM 87504 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=706 Camino Lejo\, on Museum Hill:geo:-105.9265695,35.6641155 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20110624T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20111106T170000 DTSTAMP:20230614T175234Z CREATED:20110422T002712Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230614T175234Z UID:10001385-1308909600-1320598800@test-dca-mc.nmdca.net SUMMARY:Kimono: Karen LaMonte and Prints of the Floating World DESCRIPTION:Kimono: Karen LaMonte and Prints of the Floating World juxtaposes contemporary artist Karen LaMonte’s life-sized cast-glass sculpture of a kimono with Japanese woodblock prints from the New Mexico Museum of Art’s collection and from a private collection. The exhibition runs June 24 through November 6\, 2011\, with a free public reception on “First Friday\,” July 1\, 2011\, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. \nAfter focusing for a decade on dress styles characteristic of Western society\, Karen LaMonte turned her attention to Japan and the clothing that most embodies that culture: the kimono. A Japan-U.S. Friendship Commission grant supported her seven month residency in Kyoto researching the kimono—its production\, form\, function\, and social significance—and spent another 3 ½ years producing a series of kimono sculptures cast in glass\, bronze\, or ceramic. The sculpture on display at the New Mexico Museum of Art\, Ojigi–Bowing (2010)\, is one of the cast-glass works. \nLaMonte’s kimono sculptures reflect a cultural norm in which the human figure is depleted of all curves becoming an idealized cylindrical form. “How the kimono is worn parallels the relationship between Japanese individuals and their society\,” LaMonte explained. “Putting on a kimono is literally about erasing the individual’s identity and joining the group.” Whereas for past castings LaMonte worked with live models\, for the kimono series she built a mannequin based on biometric data of the Japanese population as compiled by NASA. She selected the measurements for the 50th percentile of 40-year-old Japanese woman in the year 2000 in 1g (gravitational force). “My mannequin is the exact average Japanese female – the exact everywoman or no-woman\,” she states. The shorter sleeve length tells us the kimono belongs to a married woman\, and her posture is a bow from the waist called ojigi. It is a quintessential gesture of respect and humble greeting in Japan. \nAlso in the exhibition are a dozen Japanese ukiyo-e prints. Ukiyo-e translates to “pictures of the floating world\,” a reference to paintings and prints that depict the ephemeral or hedonistic aspects of life enjoyed in Japan’s pleasure districts\, embodied most often in the figures of courtesans and actors of Kabuki theater. These images of the “floating world” are typically associated with the rise of a merchant class and cities during the Edo period (1618-1868). The earliest print in the exhibition is from the Kaigetsudō “school” and dates from circa 1710—one of only 41 such prints extant in the world today. Other well-known practitioners of ukiyo-e are also included\, among them Suzuki Harunobu (1725-1770) and Kitagawa Utamaro (1753-1806). The prints were selected for their emphasis on the kimono\, to explore the differing interpretations of this cultural object by different artists from different eras in different mediums. \nABOUT KAREN LAMONTE \nOriginally from New York\, where she was born in 1967\, Karen LaMonte has spent more than a decade in the Czech Republic challenging herself and the limits of cast glass to produce life-size dresses—and now kimonos—emptied of inhabitants. Since her graduation in 1990 from the Rhode Island School of Design\, where she studied sculpture\, glass\, and printmaking\, LaMonte has explored figuration through the motif of clothing as a stand-in for the human. \nAmong the many prestigious awards LaMonte has received are: Corning Museum of Glass/Kohler Arts Center Joint Artist-in-Residence Program; Jutta Cuny-Franz Memorial Award; Virginia A. Groot Foundation Recognition Award; UrbanGlass Award for New Talent in Glass; Creative Glass Center of America Fellowship; Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Biennial Award; a 1999-2000 Fulbright fellowship\, which allowed her to first work in the Czech Republic; and a Japan-United States Friendship Commission\, National Endowment for the Arts Creative Artists Exchange Fellowship\, which made possible a residency in Japan over the course of 7 months to research kimonos and produce a series based on the kimono. \n  \nHer work is included in many museum collections\, including the Corning Museum of Glass\, the Smithsonian American Art Museum and the Renwick Gallery\, the deYoung Memorial Museum\, Palm Springs Art Museum\, Musee des arts decoratifs\, National Gallery of Australia\, Chrysler Museum of Art\, Toledo Museum of Art\, and the Museum of American Glass. \n  URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/1071-kimono-karen-lamonte-and-prints-of-the-floating-world/ LOCATION:New Mexico Museum of Art- Plaza Building\, 107 West Palace Avenue\, Santa Fe\, NM\, 87501\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibition ORGANIZER;CN="Chris Nail":MAILTO:chris.nail@state.nm.us GEO:35.6878097;-105.9381003 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=New Mexico Museum of Art- Plaza Building 107 West Palace Avenue Santa Fe NM 87501 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=107 West Palace Avenue:geo:-105.9381003,35.6878097 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20110619T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20110911T170000 DTSTAMP:20230614T175229Z CREATED:20200428T044735Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230614T175229Z UID:10001354-1308477600-1315760400@test-dca-mc.nmdca.net SUMMARY:Home Lands: How Women Made the West Homemakers\, cowgirls\, artists\, doctors and politicians DESCRIPTION:The storybook history of the American West is a male-dominated narrative of drifters\, dreamers\, hucksters\, and heroes—a tale that relegates women\, assuming they appear at all\, to the distant background. Home Lands: How Women Made the West upends this view to remember the West as a place of homes and habitations brought into being by the women who lived there. \n \nThe Autry National Center organized Home Lands\, a major exhibition that ventures beyond popular perceptions of the West as an empty wilderness where men struggled against nature to transform the land to offer a rich and real portrait of the West that is in large part unfamiliar. This dynamic re-thinking of the history of the West challenges stereotypes of women’s roles through the stories of the Native American women who first made their homes in the region as well as the women\, from many different cultures\, who have migrated to the West for hundreds of years.  \nFor a selection of high-resolution\, downloadable photographs from the exhibit\, click on “Go to related images\,” below. \n \n(For more on the Autry National Center\, log onto http://theautry.org/.) \nHome Lands is joined by three other exhibitions exploring the unsung heroes of the West: \nRanch Women of New Mexico\, April 15-Oct. 30 in the Mezzanine Gallery\, highlights 11 women in this excerpt from an exhibit originally prepared by photographer Ann Bromberg and writer Sharon Niederman. \nNew Mexico’s African American Legacy: Visible\, Vital and Valuable\, May 15-Oct. 9 in the second-floor Gathering Space\, tells the stories of the families who planted their roots and created a home in the Land of Enchantment following the Civil War. \nHeart of the Home\, May 27-Nov. 20 in La Ventana Gallery\, spotlights historic kitchen items from the History Museum’s collections. \nCo-curated by Carolyn Brucken\, associate curator of women’s history at the Autry\, and Virginia Scharff\, Women of the West chair\, Institute for the Study of the American West at the Autry\, Home Lands focuses on three regions: northern New Mexico\, the Colorado Front Range\, and Puget Sound\, Washington. Exploring a specific theme for each place—earth for Northern New Mexico; transportation for the Colorado Front Range; and water for Puget Sound— the exhibition highlights the West’s remarkable cultural diversity; the role of the environment in women’s lives; and the ways in which women responded to and inevitably shaped their environs. \nHome Lands challenges stereotypes of the Western woman\, such as the pioneer wife and the cowgirl\, with stories of such women as Dr. Justina Ford\, the first African American woman doctor in Colorado; noted educator\, home economist and author Fabiola Cabeza de Baca of New Mexico; and Bertha Knight Landes\, mayor of Seattle from 1926 to 1928 and the first female mayor of a major American city. \nThe exhibition illustrates their extraordinary stories and many more with nearly 200 objects spanning more than 1\,200 years. From a Mogollon metate (grinding stone)\, circa A.D. 750-1150\, to a 20th century station wagon— textiles and historic clothing from the 18th through the 20th centuries; ancient and modern pottery; paintings\, photography\, and sculpture by historic and contemporary women artists; books\, photographs\, and other ephemera will be featured throughout the exhibition. More than two-thirds of the exhibition is drawn from the Autry’s collections. \n“The history of the American West is often a male-dominated story. By examining the ways in which women encountered and transformed three different archetypal Western landscapes\, Home Lands explores not just what women have done\, but why it matters for the West—past present\, and future\,” said the exhibition curators\, Brucken and Scharff. “We believe that seeing women in history makes history look different.” \n \nThree Regions \nHome Lands examines the regions of Northern New Mexico\, the Colorado Front Range\, and Puget Sound\, exploring women’s homes\, habitats and environs over centuries and within many different cultures and communities. \nIn the Rio Arriba (the name the Spanish gave to northern New Mexico)\, women have inhabited and utilized the land for at least 10\,000 years and have a long history as builders\, creators and owners of homes. This section of the exhibition highlights women’s use of earth—as manifested in pottery\, adobe building traditions\, real estate\, and art—to see how women from different cultural backgrounds drew distinct sources of inspiration from the land. The flow of people and trade in the region lead women to create new\, hybrid traditions\, such as a Navajo banded blanket from the mid-1800s. Known as a “slave blanket\,” Navajo women living as captives in Hispanic homes first created this style of blanket\, combining Spanish materials and dyes with Navajo looms and weaving techniques. \nOther objects ranging from an ancient cooking pot\, more than 1\,000 years old\, to a painting by Georgia O’Keeffe highlight the long history of women who have made homes in this distinct region. This section of Home Lands also includes pottery by famed Pueblo potter Maria Martinez (1881-1980). \nThe Colorado Front Range section of the exhibition considers how people on the move—from the 18th century Cheyenne to the 20th suburban American family—make homes\, with a focus on powerful methods of transportation such as the horse\, railroad\, and automobile. \n The horse propelled Native women onto the Great Plains and into a nomadic way of life. A beautifully painted\, late 19th century Cheyenne parfleche—an “envelope” made of rawhide and used as a suitcase for supplies when moving camp—is an example of objects Cheyenne women of the time created for their own use. \nWhen Denver created its original streetcar system\, in the 19th century\, one of the first lines went into an area called Five Points\, an ethnically diverse neighborhood that quickly grew dense and bustling with businesses and residences along the tracks. By the 20th century\, women drivers have become the new icons of mobility and settlement in the West. On display in the exhibition\, a dissected 1960s station wagon highlights the importance of the automobile as a means for the modern American woman to independently navigate this new landscape. \nFinally\, the Puget Sound section looks at how women throughout the Pacific Northwest have worked with water\, using it to transform their homes and communities. From Coastal Salish fishing practices to women working in the salmon canneries in the 19th and 20th centuries to the construction of the Gorge Dam (1921) and the creation of utility systems that brought power and water into Seattle homes\, this section of the exhibition will show how women’s lives in the Puget Sound area have long been inextricably connected with water. \nThe power of waterscapes may be seen in native baskets for digging clams\, displayed alongside painted paddle by contemporary artist Susan Point\, or a 1924 silk Kimono depicting a traditional Japanese mountain and waterscape juxtaposed with contemporary artist Aki Sogabe’s portrayal of Washington’s Mt.

Heart of the Home\, an installation in the front window of the History Museum features the hearth’s importance in our daily lives over time\, using kitchen-related items from our collections. \nAmong them: \nA ca. 1915 Monarch wood-burning stove made by the Malleable Iron Range Co. \nAn 1875 comal\, or tortilla griddle. \nA 1905 Wapak waffle iron. \nAn 1890 curling iron and stand made by Nicol and Co.\, Chicago. (Before electrical appliances\, curling irons were heated on a cast-iron stove for straightening or styling hair.) \nAn 1866 fluting iron used to put pleats into garments. \nA ca. 1800 French oak table. \nThe exhibit joins the museum’s Women of the West summer celebration\, highlighted by the exhibit Home Lands: How Women Made the West in the second-floor Albert and Ethel Herzstein Changing Exhibitions Gallery. Both exhibits feature noted New Mexico home economist Fabiola Cabeza de Baca Gilbert. \n“As a home economist\,” Cabeza de Baca wrote in her 1949 book The Good Life\, “I am happy to see modern kitchens and improved diets\, but my artistic soul deplores the passing of beautiful customs which in spite of New Mexico’s isolation in the past\, gave us happiness and abundant living.”  \nDownload high-resolution images from the exhibit by clicking on “go to related images\,” below.

The exhibition opens at the New Mexico Museum of Art May 20 and runs through July 10\, 2011. “Working with Center provides the museum an opportunity to share work by talented newcomers from all over the world with our audiences in New Mexico\,” said New Mexico Museum of Art Curator of Photography Katherine Ware. “It’s a wonderful chance to see what’s happening in photography internationally in a language we can all appreciate and understand.” Speaking about Center’s objectives in sponsoring the competition\, Executive Director Laura Pressley said\, “The Annual Center Awards offer a bird’s-eye view of the current state of contemporary photography and what inspires people from all over the world to make images. Center’s awards honor meaningful stories and bring to light new and effective photographic vocabularies.” For his series begun in 2009 Here\, Anywhere\, Tamas Dezso received first place in the Project Competition. Here\, Anywhere offers a desolate yet beautiful examination of a post-Communist town in Hungary\, his home country—streets and whole districts left behind\, frozen in their past\, by the country’s decades-long wrenching political transition. Dezso writes about the abandoned structures in this series\, “…what remains would either be silently reconquered by nature or enveloped by the lifestyles of tomorrow’s generations.” Dezso’s project was selected by an international trio of jurors: Simon Baker\, curator of photography and international art at the Tate Modern in London; Alexa Becker\, acquisitions editor at Kehrer Verlag in Heidelberg; and Christina Cahill\, deputy director of editorial reportage at Getty Images in New York. This year’s first-place winners of Center’s Project Launch award are the Italian photographers Michele Palazzi and Alessandro Penso\, for their collaborative series Migrant Workers Journey. Selected for the prize by publisher Dewi Lewis\, of Dewi Lewis Publishing in England\, this body of work addresses the working conditions of migrant agricultural workers harvesting tomatoes in Basilicata\, in southern Italy. “A project such as this needs to go beyond the portrayal of the workers simply as victims\, it must reveal our common humanity\,” Lewis said of his reasons for supporting this ongoing series. This program is made possible in part by New Mexico Arts\, a division of the Department of Cultural Affairs\, and the National Endowment for the Arts.

The exhibition\, New Mexico’s African American Legacy: Visible\, Vital and Valuable\, highlights the contributions of African Americans to New Mexico. Focused on Albuquerque\, Las Cruces\, and the brief\, 19th-century community known as Blackdom\, the exhibit reveals the iridescent threads African Americans have woven into this state’s cultural quilt. Curated by Clarence Fielder and Terry Moody\, along with Brenda Ballon Dabney and Rita Powdrell\, with graphics by Charlie Kenneson\, the show is presented in cooperation with the African American Museum of New Mexico in Albuquerque. It covers subjects as diverse as original families\, newcomers and descendants\, religion\, social organizations and more. \nThe 1850 U.S. Census lists 61\,525 Anglos and just 22 blacks in the New Mexico Territory. Near the end of the Civil War\, four black regiments–the famous Buffalo Soldiers–were sent to the area to protect settlers. Many returned to the south\, where they shared stories of the lands they had seen. \nThe advent of the railroad drew more black residents\, attracted by jobs in rail service and the hotels and restaurants that cropped up around train stations. Others brought their skills as farmers; some opened barber shops\, mechanics shops\, boarding houses and catering businesses. \nBy 1920\, 5\,733 African Americans lived in New Mexico. (The 2000 Census shows nearly 63\,000.) \nTold on a series of panels\, the exhibit focuses on migration\, families\, churches\, social organizations and entrepreneurs\, along with the struggles against segregation. Among the people it features: \nCedric and Merdest Billingsley Bradford\, longtime operators of the U-Tote-Em Grocery Store in Las Cruces. Merdest returned to college after her children were grown and earned a sociology degree from NMSU. She helped develop and lead Planned Parenthood in Dona Ana County and was president of the state chapter of the NAACP in the 1970s. Cedric worked briefly for the WPA during the Depression. In 1967 he led a citizens’ group to support public education. At the age of 60\, he earned his high school equivalency degree. \nElder Euland Greer migrated to Tampico\, Mexico\, as a boy\, with his parents and grandparents to escape oppression in the States. His family knew Gen. Pancho Villa and his army and\, at one point\, was suspected of harboring them in their home. They moved to New Mexico in 1913 after his grandmother and father disappeared. Along with his mother\, sister and brother-in-law\, Elder Greer helped establish God’s House Church in Albuquerque. \nClara Belle Drisdale Williams became the first African American to graduate from New Mexico State University in 1937. After a career of teaching others\, she was honored with an honorary law degree from NMSU in 1980\, along with an apology for how she was treated as a student. (Three of her grandsons became physicians.) \nSuch successes were hard-won against the forces of prejudice. From 1870 to the 1950s\, Albuquerque had segregated hotels\, restaurants and movie theaters. Las Cruces schools were segregated. Even in Albuquerque’s integrated schools\, social practices isolated African Americans. At graduation\, they were seated separately; their pictures were in the back sections of yearbooks; they were unwelcome at proms and so held their own parties.  \nBlack workers could only rise so far. African American men were generally relegated to jobs as porters\, janitors and cooks; women were limited to jobs as maids\, caretakers\, domestic cooks and caterers. \nThe Dona Ana County branch of the NAACP formed in the 1930s and was credited\, in part\, with the peaceful integration of Las Cruces schools in 1957. (Many people credited the smooth transition to the fact that Anglo\, Hispanic and African American children had always played together after school–a true-life example\, perhaps\, of how “a child shall lead them.”) \nThe 1964 Accommodations Act brought integration to all of New Mexico. \nTo download high-resolution images from the exhibit\, click on “go to related images\,” below. \nThe African American Museum and Cultural Center of New Mexico was formed in 2002 by a consortium of African American organizations and concerned individuals. Though still seeking a permanent home\, the group has assembled several exhibitions and expanded its information base. African American Legacy represents its most recent exhibition. \nThe opening of the exhibit will be from 2-4 pm on May 15. The event includes speakers\, a dance performance and a poem by Doris Fields. \nTwo symposiums accompany the exhibit. They’re in the History Museum Auditorium and free with admission. Sundays free to NM residents and children 16 and under. \n2-4 pm\, Sunday\, June 12: “The Journey of the African American North\,” symposium by the African American Museum and Cultural Center of New Mexico. \n2-4 pm\, Sunday\, September 25: “Entrepreneurship in the African American Community\,” symposium hosted by The African American Museum and Cultural Center of New Mexico. \n  \n  URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/931-new-mexicos-african-american-legacy-visible-vital-valuable/ LOCATION:New Mexico History Museum\, 113 Lincoln Avenue\, Santa Fe\, NM\, 87501\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibition ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/931_1200.jpg GEO:35.6883465;-105.9381345 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=New Mexico History Museum 113 Lincoln Avenue Santa Fe NM 87501 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=113 Lincoln Avenue:geo:-105.9381345,35.6883465 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20110417T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20130310T170000 DTSTAMP:20230614T175234Z CREATED:20160322T043729Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230614T175234Z UID:10001380-1303034400-1362934800@test-dca-mc.nmdca.net SUMMARY:Folk Art of the Andes DESCRIPTION:Folk Art of the Andes showcased weaving\, embroidery\, woodcarving\, ceramics and metalwork that reflect the interweacing of indigenous folk traditions with European art forms and techniques.

The celebration’s main exhibit\, Home Lands: How Women Made the West\, will be on exhibit June 19-Sept. 11 in the second-floor Albert and Ethel Herzstein Changing Exhibitions Gallery. \nIn Bromberg’s black-and-white photographs for Ranch Women\, the often-underestimated role of women in the West comes to life. The photos reveal their dynamic contributions to the environment\, their multicultural families\, and their economic survival in a “boots on the ground” way of life. \nWomen featured include: \nEvelyn Fite Tune. Born in 1919 to Saskatchewan pioneers\, Evelyn grew up near Magdalena\, NM\, during the Depression. In the early days of her marriage spent ranching outside Socorro\, she had no running water or electricity. “I was a ranch wife. You do everything. If you have to move cattle\, you get up very early. That’s what all ranch wives do. It was hard\, a lot of hard work\, but it was good work.” Her philosophy of life was on a sign that hung above her doorway. “No Sniveling\,” it read. \nFern Sawyer. A women’s rodeo pioneer\, Fern was named National All-Around World Champion Cowgirl in 1938 at Madison Square Garden. Inducted into the Rodeo Cowboy Hall of Fame\, Cowgirl Hall of Fame and National Cutting Horse Hall of Fame\, she was as known for her glamor as her pipe smoking and cussing. Fern passed away in 1993\, in the saddle\, with her boots on. \nMary B. Davis. Manager of the horse breeding operation of the Crow Creek Division of the CS Ranch\, this daughter-in-law of legendary cowgirl Linda Davis grew up on a Waynesboro\, Ga.\, ranch. A member of the younger generation of ranch women\, she carries on the traditions of ranching life with her husband\, Warren Davis\, in New Mexico. \nDorothea Begay. A Navajo sheep rancher in Cañoncito\, Dorothea lived in a traditional world and carried a deep understanding of desert plants and animals. In 1996\, she told Niederman\, “We need to bring back our livestock. To learn to survive off that; to learn to work and farm. We must care for the community together.” \nFelicia Thal. Born in South Africa and raised in English boarding schools\, Felicia later moved across the U.S. to accommodate her husband’s surgery career. In Kansas City\, she acquired 20 Angus steers\, and a rancher was born. The Thals settled in Watrous\, where Felicia began ranching in earnest. “I learned to be tough\, to swing with the boys\, to be one of them.” \nDownload high-resolution images of these women by clicking on “go to related images\,” below. \n  URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/932-ranch-women-of-new-mexico/ LOCATION:New Mexico History Museum\, 113 Lincoln Avenue\, Santa Fe\, NM\, 87501\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibition ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/932_1200.jpg GEO:35.6883465;-105.9381345 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=New Mexico History Museum 113 Lincoln Avenue Santa Fe NM 87501 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=113 Lincoln Avenue:geo:-105.9381345,35.6883465 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20110408T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20111009T170000 DTSTAMP:20230614T175232Z CREATED:20110303T063549Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230614T175232Z UID:10001371-1302256800-1318179600@test-dca-mc.nmdca.net SUMMARY:Earth Now: American Photographers and the Environment DESCRIPTION:Earth Now: American Landscape Photographers and the Environment offers both a survey and a contemporary view of how artists working in photography have addressed our relationship to the environment. – April 8\, 2011 through October 9\, 2011. \nFree public opening 5:30-7:30 pm\, Friday April 8.

Al-Mutanabbi Street was for centuries the center of Baghdad bookselling\, the heart and soul of Baghdad’s literary and intellectual community. The Al-Mutanabbi Street Coalition\, formed in April 2007\, sent out a call to letterpress printers to craft a visual response to this attack. The response was immediate\, and over 40 printers\, including three from New Mexico\, enthusiastically answered that first call with a powerful edition of broadsides. Since that time\, the number of broadsides has grown to 130\, and a complete set will be donated to the National Library in Baghdad. \nThe Press at the Palace of the Governors proudly presents 60 of these broadsides in the museum’s John Gaw Meem Community Room. Special opening event: 6 pm\, March 4\, Readings from the Broadsides\, in the auditorium. The event is free. After March 4\, the Broadsides from the Al-Mutanabbi Street Project exhibition can be viewed by appointment. Call Tom Leech at (505) 476-5096. \nTo download high-resolution images of the broadsides\, click on “go to related images” at the bottom of this post. \n \nReaders on March 4 include poets Anne Valley-Fox\, Lisa Gill and James Thomas Stevens\, bookstore owner Dorothy Massey\, poet and bookstore owner Leo Romero\, and poet-publishers Janet Rodney\, JB Bryan and John Brandi. Many of the readings will be translations of work by Iraqi poets. New Mexico printers who contributed to the project are Suzanne Vilmain of the Counting Coup Press\, Janet Rodney of Weaselsleeves Press\, and Tom Leech of the Palace Press. \nFrom Beau Beausoleil\, San Francisco bookseller\, poet\, and initiator of the Al-Mutanabbi Street Coalition: “The Al-Mutanabbi Street Coalition is not an anti-war project\, nor is it a healing project. The coalition feels that until we truly see what happened on this one winding street of booksellers and readers\, on this one day in Baghdad\, until we understand all the implications of an attack on the printed word and its writers\, printers\, booksellers and readers\, until we see that this is our street\, until then\, we cannot truly move forward.” \nFor more on the project\, log onto http://www.library.fau.edu/depts/spc/JaffeCenter/jaffemutanabbistreet.htm.

On view will be the largest group of Da’s paintings and pottery ever gathered in one place. \nThe exhibition opens at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture on February 13\, 2011 running through December 31\, 2011. Come join us Feb. 13th for a wonderful opening from 1-4pm. \nCreative Spark! The Life and Art of Tony Da is a groundbreaking exhibition that features approximately 40 ceramic pieces and 20 paintings and offers an unprecedented exploration of Tony Da’s life and the works he created. \nThe grandson of famed potter Maria Martinez and the son of Popovi Da\, Tony rose to the legacy of his talented family while pioneering bold innovations in his dynamic but tragically short career. This exhibit will be his first comprehensive retrospective in a museum and will feature major works\, some never before seen by the public.  Spanning the 1950s to the 1980s\, the exhibit includes paintings and pottery\, from public and private collections\, ranging from red\, black and polychromatic jars and plates to sculptural bears and turtles.  The first book dedicated to Tony Da’s life and work\, written by Charles King\, owner of King Galleries in Scottsdale and Richard L. Spivey\, author of The Legacy of Maria Poveka Martinez\, will be available\, in conjunction with the exhibition\, in August 2011. The Museum of Indian Arts & Culture has in its permanent collection the works of Maria Martinez\, Julian Martinez\, and  Popovi Da. As a descendant of this renowned San Ildefonso family\, Tony Da took Native American art to new heights and having his work on display is especially relevant at this pivotal time in the Museum’s growth. \nTony Da left an impressive legacy in his short career.  Born in 1940\, he showed early enthusiasm and skill as a painter. As a youth he excelled in art\, even winning a Hallmark Card contest.  While attending Western New Mexico University in Silver City he was exposed to prehistoric Mimbres pottery which held great influence on his artistic future. Da started painting full time after his discharge from the United States Navy and was soon recognized for his talent\, winning top prizes for his artwork. \nTony Da used his favorite source\, prehistoric Mimbres designs\, as a subject for his paintings and pottery alike.  At other times he explored the traditional\, interspersing with the abstract\, realistic and semi-realistic.  During the six years that he lived with his grandmother\, Maria\, in the late 1960s\, he started making pottery.  His artistic skill in ceramics developed rapidly and in 1967\, Tony began to work on his sculptures\, creating an exciting new form of Pueblo ceramic art.  These sculptures included turtles\, owls\, and bears.  As a tireless experimenter and innovator\, he was the first to etch sgraffito designs into the clay; the first to incorporate the use of turquoise on pottery\, then adding coral\, jet\, mother-of-pearl\, shell and turquoise heishi\, and silver; and the first to use a torch to create his black and sienna pots.  All were fresh\, uses of materials and daring techniques. \nDa led a very modern life as he navigated between the two worlds of his Indian culture and the non-Indian world.  In 1982\, Tony sustained severe head injuries in a motorcycle accident. Although he was no longer able to make pottery\, Da continued to paint while living in a care facility until his passing on February 12\, 2008.  Tony Da’s artistic legacy is not isolated in the past\, but one which continues to inspire artists and challenge them to become transformational in their creative explorations.
