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.

Cloudscapes: Photographs from the Collection\, opening Feb. 4\, features work by some of the masters of the medium\, including Alfred Stieglitz\, Paul Strand\, Laura Gilpin\, Eliot Porter\, and Edward Weston. Also featured more recent images by Paul Caponigro\, William Clift\, Robert and Shana ParkeHarrison\, and Jim Stone. \nWhile the landscape of New Mexico holds great attraction for photographers\, its skies and their abundance of dramatic cloud formations also draw artists’ eyes. With an emphasis on New Mexico views\, the show brings forward more than 25 images of this popular subject while also examining them in the context of Stieglitz’s influential cloud series\, Equivalents. Taken during summer visits to his family retreat in Lake George\, N.Y.\, these studies of clouds allowed the artist to explore a more subjective aspect of photography. Photographer Jim Stone\, based in Albuquerque\, makes humorous reference to the series in his 1976 piece\, subtitled Equivalent Alaska Cloud. \nArtists have portrayed clouds in their work not only for their interesting and ever-changing shapes\, but also as symbols\, whether to convey the power and unpredictability of nature or to express human emotions such as loneliness\, unrest\, freedom\, or happiness. An unusual trio of images by Laura Gilpin reflects the time she spent living on a Navajo reservation by depicting the “He” rain\, the “She” rain\, and a rainbow in between. Eliot Porter used color film to beautiful effect in capturing the sunsets near his studio in Tesuque. The contemporary artistic pair Robert and Shana ParkeHarrison refer to environmental issues in their picture of clouds\, titled Patching the Sky. \n“Cloudscapes gives us a wonderful opportunity to remind visitors of the many stellar photographs in the collection\,” said exhibition curator Katherine Ware. “Photographs are very light sensitive and cannot remain on long-term view like paintings and sculpture. We hope our guests will see some famous favorites as well as discovering some new images.” \n The museum is pleased to present this group of photographs as part of a museum-wide installation of its permanent collection.To download high-resolution images from the exhibit\, click on "Go to related images\," below.

Joe Waldrum DESCRIPTION:A rush to catch a plane and the convenience of a Safeway grocery store led to noted New Mexico artist H. Joe Waldrum’s long-term love affair with SX-70 Polaroid monoprints\, images that Waldrum referred to as “little jewels.” The late artist’s collection of nearly 8\,000 images was recently donated to the Palace of the Governors Photo Archives. A selection of them will be displayed in a joint exhibition at the New Mexico History Museum and The Albuquerque Museum of Art and History\, Jan. 30-April 10. \nA Passionate Light: Polaroids by H. Joe Waldrum features a total of 1\,202 4½” x 3¼” images between the two museums (264 at the New Mexico History Museum; 938 at The Albuquerque Museum of Art and History). The images range from Waldrum’s study of the sturdy adobe and angular shapes of northern New Mexico churches to the delicate transiency of flowers. \nKnown primarily as a painter and print-maker\, Waldrum began working with the Polaroid when he was completing his annual summer painting trip to Taos. Set to return to New York the next day\, he knew he didn’t have time to sketch San Jose de Gracia Church in Las Trampas – drawings he would need to guide him on a future painting. Lacking even a camera to take some stills\, he sped to a nearby Safeway and bought a Polaroid One-Step and four boxes of film. He managed to barely beat the setting sun in exposing all the film\, which developed on the car seat next to him as he drove home to finish packing. \nUpon returning to his New York studio\, he pulled out his hurriedly snapped images and realized they captured more than shapes and colors; they documented his thinking and looking process. \nFrom the late 1970s until his death in 2003\, Waldrum faithfully carried the camera with him and captured images ranging from the spontaneously casual to the carefully composed. Nicholas Chiarella\, imaging specialist for the Photo Archives\, scanned the images into digital form\, realizing along the way\, he said\, that they “deftly assert the potential …to function dually as historic documents and artistic objects.” \nBorn in Texas in 1934\, Waldrum lived and made art in New Mexico from 1971 until his 2003 death in Truth or Consequences. His collection of SX-70 monoprints was given to the Archives by the Waldrum Estate and Rio Bravo Fine Art in Truth or Consequences. Among Polaroid aficionados\, the SX-70 holds special appeal for the stability of its prints. Waldrum’s monoprints\, some of them more than 40 years old\, are in nearly mint condition with true colors. \nThe artist himself considered the images an important body of art\, not mere documentation for his paintings. When anyone questioned their artistic merit\, Waldrum bristled. \n“One gallery said to me\, `Joe\, anyone can point a Polaroid camera and push a button\,’” Waldrum once wrote. “I will agree with him\, if he will agree with me that anyone with a scalpel can cut out your appendix.” \nBeyond using adobe churches as subject matter for his artwork\, Waldrum became a dedicated activist working with communities to raise funds for conservation of their churches. He made videos\, gave lectures\, established El Valle Foundation to raise restoration funds\, hosted exhibitions and spoke often about the importance of the churches not just as spiritual centers but as a means for maintaining the indigenous history and culture of Spanish New Mexico. \nMary Anne Redding\, curator of photography for the New Mexico History Museum/Palace of the Governors\, has put together the dual exhibition\, which is accompanied by a lecture series shared by the two venues. \nThe Albuquerque Museum will host a members-only preview on Friday\, Jan. 28\, at 5 pm. For press invitations\, contact Heather Shore at 505-338-8730; or 505-504-2009. Other events at The Albuquerque Museum include: \nSunday\, Jan. 30 \n1 pm: “Passionate Enterprises: Archives\, Photography & Collecting\,” lecture by Mary Anne Redding\, curator\, Palace of the Governors Photo Archives. \n1-3 pm: Bring\, scan and share your personal Polaroids on the instant online archive. \n3 pm: “Polaroid Minutes\,” performance by Ecotone Physical Theatre. \nSunday\, Feb. 13\, 1 pm: “Ansel Adams and Polaroid\,” lecture by Alan Ross\, photographer and assistant to Adams. \nSunday\, Feb. 27\, 1 pm: “How Polaroid Shaped Fine Art Photography\,” panel discussion by photographers Tom Barrow\, Joyce Neimanas\, Chris Enos and Sigfried Halus. Moderated Mary Anne Redding\, curator of the Palace of the Governors Photo Archives. \nSaturday\, March 12\, 1-4 pm: Family Day: Picture It!

Reservations required; $55 members of The Albuquerque Museum or the Museum of New Mexico Foundation\, $60 nonmembers. Call 764-6517. \nFor downloadable\, high-resolution samples of Waldrum’s work\, click on “Go to related images” at the bottom of this page. \nEdwin H. Land\, the inventor of the Polaroid SX-70 Land Camera\, spent more than $750 million to achieve “absolute one-step photography” and “dyes with unprecedented resistance to fading.” Land hired Ansel Adams to test Polaroid’s new cameras and film\, and many artists since have worked with various permutations of Polaroid technology\, among them: Robert Mapplethorpe\, Peter Beard\, David Hockney\, Andy Warhol\, David Levinthal\, Robert Frank\, Chuck Close\, Walker Evans\, Robert Rauschenberg\, Lucas Samaras\, William Wegman\, Joel Meyerowitz\, Mary Ellen Mark\, Olivia Parker\, Barbara Kasten\, Jan Groover and\, closer to home\, Thomas Barrow\, Chris Enos\, and Seigfried Halus. \nThe majority of Waldrum’s work consists of New Mexico’s adobe churches\, but also includes an extensive series of flowers. By altering the color behind the flowers\, Waldrum found he could change the colors of the petal by the reflected light. Also included are Polaroids of architectural details\, places and things the artists found compelling – his beloved mules\, horses\, dogs and cats\, fruits and vegetables\, and portraits of his family\, friends\, and lovers\, as well as a small series of self-portraits. \nIn his own words: \nThere is a beautiful place in the United States of America. It is in northern New Mexico between two mountain ranges. This place is called ’The Cradle.’ The people of this area have focused their collective thought on their churches. As an artist it is my job to distill that focus until it communicates. However\, my paintings of the Churches of northern New Mexico have nothing to do with my religious convictions. The churches were there\, they made wonderful shadows\, and they represent the collective aspirations of a devout and wonderful group of people. – H. Joe Waldrum (1934 – 2003) \n  \n  URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/a-passionate-light-the-polaroids-of-h-joe-waldrum-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/2023/05/882_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:20110130T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20110410T170000 DTSTAMP:20230614T175233Z CREATED:20110130T170000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230614T175233Z UID:10001375-1296381600-1302454800@test-dca-mc.nmdca.net SUMMARY:882 -- A Passionate Light: The Polaroids of H.

Several of her pieces have been on display in the museum’s main exhibition\, Telling New Mexico: Stories from Then and Now. Each piece was handcrafted to reflect different aspects of the state’s cultural heritage\, with engravings that detail events like Coronado’s expedition and a humidor in the shape of Taos Pueblo. \nAlso on display in Telling New Mexico is a piece of shrapnel from a attack and a diary kept by one of the crewmen. \nThe battleship\, commissioned in 1918\, served as a flagship of the U.S. Pacific Fleet and played vital roles during World War II. First sent to Pearl Harbor\, the ship was deployed to protect our eastern seaboard in mid-1941\, barely missing the attack on the Hawaiian port. In 1945\, during the pre-landing bombardment of Luzon\, the ship suffered a hit from a kamikaze plane\, killing the commanding officer and 29 crewmen. After repairs at Pearl Harbor\, the ship sailed to Okinawa for the invasion and\, on May 12\, was hit by a kamikaze plane and a bomb. The resulting fire killed 54 men and wounded 119; the remaining crewmen continued to fight. On Sept. 2\, 1945\, the ship and her crew entered Tokyo Bay to witness Japan’s surrender. \nThe ship was decommissioned on July 19\, 1946\, and sold for scrap the next year. For her World War II service\, the ship received six battle stars. \nCecil Whitson\, an engineer for Sandia National Laboratories\, began hand-crafting a 7½-foot model of the ship some years back. Every piece on the model was hand-fabricated by Whitson to scale\, including the anchor chain and anti-aircraft guns. The model mimics the ship’s 1944 incarnation. A recent illness stopped his work\, but fellow modeling enthusiast and U.S. Navy veteran Keith Liotta recently picked up the charge. \n“Once I saw it\, I said\, `There’s no way I’m going to let this die\,’” Liotta said. “It’s a tremendous piece of work in honor of people who fought for us through the war.” \nOnce completed\, the model of BB-40 will be donated to the History Museum. \nThe SSN-779 was commissioned last year and it carries two of the Tiffany plates from the original ship’s collection\, on loan from the History Museum. \n“When the Navy named one of its new fast-attack nuclear submarines after New Mexico\, it bestowed a great honor upon our state\,” said Dick Brown\, chairman of the USS New Mexico Commissioning Committee\, which worked hard to persuade the Navy to name the submarine for our state. “USS New Mexico (SSN-779) is a tribute to all who served onboard our namesake battleship and is a salute to all New Mexicans who have served\, and are serving\, in our Armed Forces.” \nHigh-resolution photos: Click on “Go to related images” below.

See schedule below. \n“As Santa Fe celebrates its 400th anniversary this year\, this exhibit underscores a part of American history too often overlooked in our classrooms\,” said Dr. Frances Levine\, director of the New Mexico History Museum. “Before Jamestown was settled and long before Western Expansion defined us\, Spanish explorers began documenting and colonizing the nation. They gave Europeans some of their first glimpses of a far-away land and planted the seeds of a culture that flourishes today.” \n“It is fitting that this singular and historically significant exhibition from Spain debut in New Mexico’s high-profile new state History Museum\,” said Department of Cultural Affairs Secretary Stuart Ashman.  “What better place to further understand Spain’s impact in North America than in the shadow of the venerable Palace of the Governors\, where much of Spain’s influence in our nation began.” \nMost of the documents have never been seen in North America. Their journey to Santa Fe began when Tom Aageson\, director of the Museum of New Mexico Foundation\, was visiting museums in Spain in 2008 as a guest of the Spanish Embassy. After seeing El Hilo\, he urged Dr. Levine to see it\, too. Equally impressed\, she and Secretary Ashman joined Aageson in conversations with Spanish officials\, who were considering which U.S. museums to display the exhibit and liked the idea of staging it during Santa Fe’s 400th anniversary celebration. \n“This is truly a national story\,” Aageson said. “The University of New Mexico’s library only has copies of these documents\, and a retired librarian told me she could not believe they were releasing the originals from Spain.” \nJames T. Ortiz\, a trustee of the foundation and a direct descendant of Beatriz Ortiz\, who came to Spain’s far northern colony from Mexico City in 1598\, said the exhibit holds special meaning for his family. \n“Over our 14 generations\, few family members had the chance to return to Old Spain or were even aware that such a collection existed\,” he said. “To be able to spend time with so much of our ancestors’ history is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Of all the recorded history in all of the world and in all of the museums\, archives and national vaults\, none has the significance for my family as this singular exhibition.” \nThe exhibit\, which will be presented in Spanish and English and includes a newly published catalogue\, features such documents as Pedro de Peralta’s orders to establish Santa Fe\, a letter signed by Francisco Vázquez de Coronado detailing his travels through the Tiguex province\, and documents that detail the aid given by Spain to the United States during the Revolutionary. A small illustration of a buffalo\, drawn in 1598 by Vicente Zaldivar\, introduced Europeans to an animal whose herds then covered hundreds of miles. \nAlso accompanying the exhibit is a full schedule of lectures and performances. Events in The Threads of Memory Lecture Series are free with museum admission. (Fridays 5-8 pm free to everyone; Sundays free to NM residents; children 16 and under always free.) The events will be held in the museum auditorium\, unless otherwise noted. The schedule: \nSunday\, Oct. 17 \n1:30-3 pm: “Setting the Context of El Hilo de la Memoria: Cartography of the Camino Real de Tierra Adentro\,” lecture by Dr. Luis Laorden of Madrid\, Spain.

The stories they sent back to Europe detailing the wealth and sophistication of the Aztec empire astonished their countrymen – and fed 300 years of efforts to write and re-write the story of the Mexican Conquest. \nFrom Oct. 1 through Jan. 23\, 2011\, the History Museum’s Triangle Gallery will present Imagining Mexico: From the Aztec Empire to Colonial New Spain\, an original exhibit featuring books\, prints and maps from the Fray Angélico Chávez History Library’s John Bourne Collection of Meso-Americana\, the Rare Books Collection\, and the Map Collection. Created mainly for people who would never cross the Atlantic but live their adventures vicariously\, the works formed perceptions – fictitious at times – of the land of Cortés\, Moctezuma\, amazing temples and important battles. \nAn opening reception will be held from 5:30-7 pm on Friday\, Oct. 1. The Museum of New Mexico Women’s Board will serve light refreshments in the museum lobby. \n“Beginning shortly after the fall of the Aztec capital Tenochtitlan\, the story of the Conquest of Mexico has been told and retold countless times\, in both word and image\,” said Khristaan D. Villela\, scholar-in-residence at the museum and a curator of Imagining Mexico. “Each version built upon and elaborated those before\, resulting in a range of imaginations of the Conquest and ancient Mexico that are reflections\, and sometimes refractions.” \nThe players in the conquest and European colonization of Mexico had direct ties to what would later be called New Mexico. Juan de Oñate married a woman who was Cortés’ granddaughter and the great-granddaughter of Moctezuma II\, the Aztec emperor. Cortés’ most steadfast allies\, the Tlaxcalans\, are reputed to have accompanied the first colonizers of New Mexico as mercenaries who settled near the San Miguel church in the Barrio of Analco. (In Nahuatl\, Analco means “near the water.”) \nNew Mexico’s history parallels Mexico’s in its cycles of conquest and colonization. Descendents of both Native peoples and colonizers continue to inhabit both places in large numbers\, and we do not agree on our history. The books\, prints\, and maps in this exhibition show that history is in flux\, and that one generation’s image of the Aztecs was\, in the next\, deemed inaccurate and fanciful. \nAmong the items on display: \nImages of the Aztec Templo Mayor. The main shrine in the capital of Tenochtitlan\, the Templo Mayor’s size and appearance was forgotten soon after the last battles of the conquest in 1521. Some of the images show it with twin staircases and shrines; others imagine a vast platform with staircases around its base – a veritable Tower of Babel. The variance between the images epitomizes the range of interpretations about the conquest and Pre-Columbian Mexico. \nEarly maps of New Spain. A 1769 map by Antonio Alzate of Mexico was one of the earliest to use the names Texas and California (though it shows the latter as an island). An 1803 map by Alexander von Humboldt of Germany shows the route of El Camino Real from Mexico City to Santa Fe. \nFour images from Lienzo de Tlaxcala. Originally painted on a large linen sheet in 1550\, the Lienzo tells the story of the conquest from the point of view of the Tlaxcalans\, native Mexicans whose alliance with Cortés was perhaps the deciding factor in his victory over Moctezuma II and the Aztec Empire. Besides the four images\, the complete Lienzo de Tlaxcala Codex will be presented digitally in the exhibit. \nThe first book about the Aztec Calendar Stone. Buried about 1550 by order of the Archbishop of Mexico\, the stone was rediscovered in 1790 in Mexico City. A proposal to turn it into a cathedral step to symbolize the triumph of Christianity over the pagan Aztecs was rejected after authorities became convinced it was an astronomical and mathematical device worthy of preservation. It was\, in fact\, a sacrificial altar commissioned by Moctezuma II\, and remains the best-known Native American artwork of the period. \nThe exhibit also presents the first engraving of the sculpture\, made by a Mexican artist best-known for his images of the Virgin Mary and Catholic saints. \n“These are amazing books with even more amazing prints and fold-out maps hidden between their covers showing Spain’s – and by extension Europe’s – understanding of the new world\,” said Tomas Jaehn\, director of the Chávez History Library. \nBeyond their content\, the books themselves stand as impressive artifacts. \n“The books in this well-preserved collection\, some in their original bindings and some beautifully re-bound\, along with their fine marbled and handmade papers\, are beautiful examples book-making history\,” said Tom Leech\, curator of the Palace Press. \nPart of Imagining Mexico’s run coincides with another History Museum exhibit\, Threads of Memory: Spain and the United States\, featuring nearly 140 rare documents\, maps\, prints and paintings on loan from Spain from Oct. 17-Jan. 9\, 2011. Taken together\, the exhibits portray how European explorers and colonists interpreted what they found here. \nThe Triangle Gallery is on the mezzanine level of the museum\, next to the Auditorium. \nTo download high-resolution images from this exhibit\, click on “Go to Related Images” below.

Seriff\, Chair of the International Folk Art Market’s Artist Selection Committee. Dr. Marsha Bol\, Director Emeritus of the Museum of International Folk Art explained the concept of the gallery of conscience “As the largest folk art museum in the world\, there is a responsibility to create a forum to discuss current issues that folk artists are facing around the world. This Gallery of Conscience is devoted to the examination of issues that threaten the survival of the traditional arts\, bringing them to the attention of our visitors.” All of the cooperatives featured in the exhibit had artist booths at the 2010 International Folk Art Market| Santa Fe. Exhibition highlights included weaving\, beadwork\, painting\, baskets\, embroidery and other traditional folk arts from Bolivia\, Rwanda\, Peru\, Swaziland\, India\, Kenya\, Laos\, South Africa\, Morocco and Nepal.  The exhibition closed in Santa Fe May 8\, 2011  and then began to travel through Guest Curator URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/682-empowering-women-artisan-cooperatives-that-transform-communities/ 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/empowering.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Rebecca Ward":MAILTO:rebecca.ward@state.nm.us 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:20100606T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20110106T170000 DTSTAMP:20230614T175231Z CREATED:20160322T044200Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230614T175231Z UID:10001364-1275818400-1294333200@test-dca-mc.nmdca.net SUMMARY:Silver Seduction: The Art of Mexican Modernist Antonio Pineda The Art of Mexican Modernist Antonio Pineda DESCRIPTION:In the mountain town of Taxco in Mexico’s state of Guerrero\, large-scale mining can be dated to the sixteenth century\, and silver is a way of life. In the years following the Mexican Revolution (1910–20)\, jewelry and other silver objects were crafted there with an entirely innovative approach\, informed by modernism and the creation of a new Mexican national identity. Antonio Pineda was a member of the Taxco School and is recognized as a world-class designer.  He lived a long and creative life\, passing away at the age of 90 on December 14\, 2009. \n Nearly two hundred examples of Pineda’s acclaimed silver work were displayed in Silver Seduction: The Art of Mexican Modernist Antonio Pineda\, a traveling exhibition opening at the Museum of International Folk Art June 6\, 2010 through January 2\, 2011. \nFrom its inception\, the Taxco movement broke new ground in technical achievement and design. While American- born\, Taxco-based designer William Spratling has been credited with spearheading the contemporary Taxco silver movement\, it was a group of talented Mexican designers who went on to establish independent workshops and develop the distinctive “Taxco School.” Pineda\, internationally renown for his silver work identified himself primarily as a taxqueño\, or Taxco\, silversmith. These designers incorporated numerous aesthetic orientations—Pre-Columbian art\, silverwork\, religious images\, and other artwork from the Mexican Colonial period\, and local popular arts—merging them within the broad spectrum of modernism. \nPineda himself is lauded for his bold designs and ingenious use of gemstones. Silver Seduction traced the evolution of his work from the 1930s–70s\, and included more than a hundred necklaces and bracelets\, as well as numerous rings\, earrings\, and diverse examples of his hollowware and tableware. All of the works feature Pineda’s hard-to-achieve combination of highly refined execution and hand-wrought appeal. \nPineda’s jewelry is especially known for its elegant acknowledgment of the human form. It is often said that a Pineda fits the body perfectly\, that it feels right when it is worn. For example\, a thick geometric necklace that might at first glance seem too weighty or rigid to wear comfortably is\, in fact\, faceted\, hinged\, or hollowed in such a way that it gracefully encircles the neck or drapes seductively down the décolletage. \n In addition\, no other taxqueño jeweler used as many costly semiprecious stones or set them with as much ingenuity\, skill\, and variety as did Pineda. Only the most talented of silversmiths could master the unique challenges posed by setting gemstones in silver at the high temperature necessary to work the metal. Pineda\, however\, managed to set gems with as little metal touching them as possible\, giving them a free or floating look while still holding them firmly in place. In Pineda’s hands\, some stones were embedded; rows of gems were set close together to emphasize the structural lines of a design; or stones were cut to fit irregular shapes in a design. Pineda often used cultured pearls\, large amethyst drops\, and onyx in his designs\, many examples of which are on display in the exhibition. \nThe remarkable creativity of this “Silver Renaissance” era represents a unique moment in the design of Mexican jewelry. Pineda’s and his colleagues’ modernist works lives on today in Taxco with a thriving industry in silver smithing. \nSilver Seduction: The Art of Mexican Modernist Antonio Pineda and its publication are made possible through the generosity of the Donald B. Cordry Memorial Fund and Jill and Barry Kitnick.  The exhibition was developed by the curatorial team of the Fowler Museum with consulting curator Gobi Stromberg. All works presented are either from the collections of Cindy Tietze and Stuart Hodosh or the Fowler Museum at UCLA.  Exhibition images may be found at http://media.museumofnewmexico.org/. \n  URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/656-silver-seduction-the-art-of-mexican-modernist-antonio-pineda-the-art-of-mexican-modernist-antonio-pineda/ 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/silver-seduction.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:20100523T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20110508T170000 DTSTAMP:20230614T175231Z CREATED:20200428T050853Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230614T175231Z UID:10001363-1274608800-1304874000@test-dca-mc.nmdca.net SUMMARY:Wild at Heart: Ernest Thompson Seton How One Wolf’s Death Led to a Century of Wildlife Conservation DESCRIPTION:  \n \n  \n \nWild at Heart: Ernest Thompson Seton dedicates itself to telling the often overlooked story of the conservationist\, author\, artist\, lecturer and co-founder of the Boy Scouts of America. Ernest Thompson Seton’s impact on America’s conservation movement was immeasurable but\, today is largely forgotten. Wild at Heart: Ernest Thompson Seton sets out to change that. \nRunning through May 8\, 2011\, this original exhibition replaces Fashioning New Mexico in the museum’s second-floor Albert and Ethel Herzstein Changing Exhibitions Gallery. It’s accompanied by a catalog\, Ernest Thompson Seton\, The Life and Legacy of an Artist and Conservationist (Gibbs Smith\, Publisher\, 2010)\, with a foreword written by Sir David Attenborough. \nCurated by New Mexico art historian David L. Witt\, director of the Seton Legacy Project for the Academy for the Love of Learning in Santa Fe\, Wild at Heart marks the first major exhibition about Seton. Most of the art and artifacts – more than 30 original paintings and drawings by Seton\, books\, personal memorabilia\, and photographs – have been seldom if ever seen. Most of the items on loan to the exhibit come from the Academy for the Love of Learning and from the Philmont Museum and Seton Memorial Library at the Philmont Ranch in Cimarron\, N.M. \nBorn in England in 1860\, Seton moved to Canada with his family when he was six\, and eventually settled in the United States as an adult. As a young man\, he immersed himself in the study of the natural world\, becoming one of the first important experts on animal behavior. Schooled in fine art\, Seton was a prolific writer and illustrator. \nIn 1893\, Seton was sent to Clayton\, N.M.\, by an Easterner who owned the L Cross F in the northeastern part of the state. Seton’s assignment: track and kill marauding wolves. After a brutal encounter with a wild wolf named “Lobo\,” Seton experienced a profound change of heart. He wrote “The King of Currumpaw\, A Wolf Story\,” published to worldwide acclaim in Scribner’s Magazine the following year. Through that story\, Seton invented the genre of the realistic animal story\, portraying animals as they actually live in the wild and changing forever the way Americans looked at nature. \n“Seton is a godfather to today’s environmental movement\, as important to the early development of wildlife conservation as John Muir is to wilderness preservation\,” Witt said. \nIn 1902\, Seton founded an outdoor youth-education program known as “Woodcraft” that provided a model for all subsequent summer camps in the United States. In 1910\, Seton co-founded the Boy Scouts of America. \n“His contributions to the environmental movement and to science\, literature\, art and youth education have enriched the lives of hundreds of millions of boys\, girls and their families for more than a century\,” said Witt\, who himself earned the rank of Eagle Scout in 1967. \nSeton was the most important and technically accomplished wildlife illustrator since Audubon\, and his concepts for bird identification influence the field guides of Roger Tory Peterson and others. In all\, Seton wrote some 40 books and more than 1\,000 magazine articles and short stories\, and drew or painted some 6\,000 works of art. His book Wild Animals I Have Known has been continuously in print since it was first published in 1898. (Rudyard Kipling once wrote to Seton that the book inspired him to write the Jungle Books; in his foreword to the Seton catalog\,  Attenborough recounts receiving a copy of the book at the age of 8: “I still have it. It was the most precious book of my childhood.”) \nMuch of Seton’s understanding of nature came not from Western science\, but from his extensive studies with First Nations peoples in Canada. Seton was a vocal supporter of Native people’s political rights and a passionate advocate for the study of their culture\, ethics and history. \nIn 1930\, Seton moved to a 2\,500-acre ranch in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains outside of Santa Fe\, founding the Seton Village neighborhood\, where he lived until his death in 1946. He designed Seton Castle as his residence on the property\, which included a museum\, library\, art gallery and library/lecture hall for the Seton Village community that developed as friends and colleagues settled on the original property. It was there that Seton established his final educational project\, the College of Indian Wisdom (later\, the Seton Institute). Classes focused on the arts\, crafts and ethics of Native peoples. \nThe Academy undertook the Seton Legacy Project after acquiring Seton’s house and remaining art collections in 2003. In 2005\, a fire devastated the castle\, leaving only a shell. But the Academy has continued its work\, and as part of Wild at Heart will host tours of the castle and village from 10 am to 1 pm Aug. 14\, Oct. 9\, 2010\, and April 9\, 2011. A one-day workshop\, “The Wilderness in Your Heart\,” will be held from 10 am to 4 pm on Sept. 18\, 2010\, and March 5\, 2011. For details\, go to www.aloveoflearning.org. \nThis fall\, the Academy will unveil the Seton Castle Contemplative Gardens\, the Ernest Thompson Seton Gallery\, and the new Center\, a LEED-registered\, environmentally responsible facility. \nParticipants in the Seton Legacy Project include Seton family members\, historians and others\, including Witt\, a naturalist\, writer\, historian and museum curator who has studied the Seton legacy for more than 35 years. He assisted on the BBC/PBS Nature television series feature called Lobo\, The Wolf That Changed America\, which premiered in both the U.S. and the U.K. in 2008. \nFunding for the exhibit was made possible by the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs; Academy for the Love of Learning; National Park Service/Save Our Treasures Grant Program; Museum of New Mexico Foundation; New Mexico History Museum Opening Gala Committee; Phyllis and Edward Gladden Endowment Fund; Herzstein Family Endowment Fund; and the Palace Guard. \nWild at Heart lectures and workshops: \nSaturday\, May 22\, 2010\, noon to 2 pm: Meet the winged and four-footed envoys from The Wildlife Center in Espanola\, one of the largest and most successful rehabilitation services of its kind in New Mexico.

The introduction— I See by your Outfit that You Are a Cowboy—sets the tone for the exhibition which is simultaneously stimulating\, educational\, and fun.  Western songs will play in the background of the exhibition. \nThe historic section of the exhibition includes works by Frederic Remington\, Charles M. Russell\, and Herbert “Buck” Dunton.  These artists defined and then promoted a view of cowboy life that is descriptive\, inspiring\, and romantic.  This section also describes the construction of boots through the work of Deana McGuffin\, a third generation bootmaker from Albuquerque\, New Mexico. \n  \nConceptual sections of the exhibition allude to western attitudes that are infused into boots and art.  These sections incorporate popular culture images that help to expand the notion of western art beyond the restrictive stereotype of ranch workers as men on horseback riding with a herd of cattle.  For example\, David Politzer’s video self portrait\, Rio Macho\, shows the artist dressed as a middle-aged dude-ranch cowboy bemoaning his lost youth and his failure to become a working cowboy. \n  \nThe contemporary art in the exhibition presents the West in a complex\, provocative manner.  The nationally known contemporary western artists in this section include James Drake\, Betty Hahn\, Martin Cary Horowitz\, Luis Jiménez\, Bruce Nauman\, Patrick Oliphant\, Bill Schenck\, Lisa Sorrell\, and Donald Woodman.  The contemporary artists’ point of view can be summarized by Horowitz’s sculpture Baby Bomb that references Coyote and Roadrunner cartoons\, but also presents a powerful antiwar commentary. \n  \nOklahoma artist Lisa Sorrell’s leather sculptures\, such as Butterflies and Bluebirds\, are included in the exhibition.  In addition\, this sculpture just happens to be a pair of cowboy boots.  Butterflies and Bluebirds captures the essence and irony of the West— while the sculpture can worn\, it may never hit a dance floor.  \n  \nJames Drake’s waterless lithograph Valley of the World relates to his Tony Lama boots with inserts of red snake skin that are also in the exhibition.  The print shows a bridge over the Rio Grande  connecting Juarez\, Mexico\, and  El Paso\, Texas.  A rectangle of snake skin attached to the print can be understood as both a symbol of the economic ties bridging the two countries\, as well as a reference to El Paso—the cowboy boot center of the universe. \n  \nOf course\, these categories often overlap.  Carol Sarkisian’s Maurice’s Boots\, Galisteo\, NM . Sarkisian transformed tin-artist Maurice Dixon’s worn out boots into jewel-like sculptures\, encrusted with glass beads.  This work combines sculpture\, popular culture\, jewelry\, and western philosophy into a seductive form. \n  \nExhibition images may be found on the media center at http://media.museumofnewmexico.org/.

The exhibition features Eric Tillinghast\, Deborah Hamon\, Erika Blumenfeld\, Michael Rogers\, Kate Beck\, Jessica Loughlin\, and Ryan Bush. This year's show marks the second edition of Art on the Edge. It was curated by Nicholas Baume\, chief curator and director of the New York Public Art Fund. \nThe Museum will host a free public lecture by Nicholas Baume at 6:00 p.m. in St. Francis Auditorium during the opening. The Women’s Board of the Museum of New Mexico will host an opening from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. \nHoning the "Edge" \nThe critical success of Friends of Contemporary Art's first Art on the Edge exhibition in 2008 led to the establishment of the new biennial. In keeping with the spirit of the first Art on the Edge\, the new juried show will have a tight focus allowing each of the seven artists the opportunity to showcase the best examples of their work. Art on the Edge was open to both FOCA members and non-members\, and submissions were received from as far as Italy\, the Netherlands\, and Australia. The seven artists chosen by Nicholas Baume represent Australia\, both US coasts\, and the American Southwest. \nThe judging\, done exclusively by Baume\, was based on entries submitted by artists to Slideroom.com\, a web-based service that allows entrants to upload images\, videos\, and documents for consideration. "Slideroom made the logistics of accepting the work\, organizing it\, and notifying artists much simpler than in previous years\," said Steering Committee member and FOCA Co-chair Michael Abatemarco. "We received a lot of positive feedback from submitters who found the online process to be very user friendly. We plan to engage with this or a similar service for the next juried show." \nBaume considered up to twenty works by each of over 120 artists. “Friends of Contemporary Art is looking forward to the exhibition curated by our juror\,” said Steering Committee member and FOCA Co-chair Romi Sloboda. “Art on the Edge 2010 will present both well-known and lesser established artists’ work at the Museum\, with a wide range of mediums and materials represented in the show. Nicholas Baume’s vision as the sole juror provides an interesting and engaging selection of artists. And we’re also delighted that Baume will be coming to Santa Fe for the opening reception in April and will be giving a talk at the Museum.” \nThe Artists \nThe work of these seven artists is united in the clean simplicity of elemental form as it relates to the natural and man-made world. Eric Tillinghast\, formerly based in Santa Fe but now residing in Northern California\, works directly with the element of water in work that becomes interactive due to the need for replenishing the evaporative substance. The properties of the water\, as it pools and beads on surfaces\, become an object of fascination. Tillinghast is a former recipient of the Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant. \nErika Blumenfeld and Jessica Loughlin both work with the horizon line\, employing photography and kiln-formed glass respectively\, to suggest the contrast of earth/sky\, day/night\, light/darkness. Blumenfeld\, also a former Santa Fe resident\, lives and works in Marfa\, Texas. In January of 2009 she spent four weeks working in Queen Maud Land\, Antarctica. The results of that venture will be included in Art on the Edge. Loughlin is from Australia and references that landscape in her work. In 2001 she won the Outstanding New Artist in Glass award from UrbanGlass. \nThe inclusion of mica in the oil and graphite work of Kate Beck\, who hails from Maine\, brings material from the natural world into two-dimensional art that reflects a purity of line\, which becomes itself the subject. The spatial relationships of repetitive lines add to the tonal quality of her work. Deborah Hamon\, a recipient of the West Prize Acquisition Award\, also works out of Northern California. She creates digital c-prints that deal with human interaction with negotiated landscapes\, placing her posed human subjects in environments that seem familiar and unfamiliar\, almost dreamlike. \nFor photographer Ryan Bush\, originally from Michigan and now in the Bay Area\, the focus is on patterns created by the countless telephone wires that criss-cross the landscape from coast to coast. Each image reduces the connections formed by these carriers of information into elegantly simple abstractions. Michael Rogers\, who lived and worked in Japan for 11 years and is now a full professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York\, takes the work of Chilean poet Pablo Neruda and abstracts it by sewing text onto draped strands of cotton strung between shells of cast glass\, reducing the literary form itself even as it is united with new mediums. \nAbout the guest curator \nNicholas Baume is chief curator and director of the Public Art Fund in the city of New York. He came to the United States in 1998 from Sydney\, Australia\, to become the curator of contemporary art at the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford\, Connecticut. Among his projects at the Atheneum were About Face: Andy Warhol Portraits and Sol LeWitt: Incomplete Open Cubes\, as well as the Matrix series of exhibitions\, which included first American museum shows by Francis Alÿs\, Sam Durant\, Thomas Eggerer\, Christian Jankowski\, Catherine Sullivan and Fiona Tan. In 2003 Baume was appointed chief curator of the Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) in Boston. Baume established a permanent contemporary collection for the ICA during his tenure. While at the ICA\, he curated exhibitions of the work of Kai Althoff\, Kader Attia\, Carol Bove\, Gerard Byrne\, Tara Donovan (with Jen Mergel)\, Thomas Hirschhorn (with Ralph Rugoff)\, Anish Kapoor and Lucy McKenzie. \n  \nContacts:          Steve Cantrell\, PR Manager \n                        505-476-1144  /  steve.cantrell@state.nm.us \n  \n                        Laura Addison\, Curator of Contemporary Art \n                        505-476-5118  /  laura.addison@state.nm.us \n  \n                        Michael Abatemarco\, Friends of Contemporary Art Co-chair \n                        505-699-2309  /  michael.abatemarco@state.nm.us \n  \n                        Romi Sloboda\, Friends of Contemporary Art Co-chair                                                  505-988-1841  /  romi_sloboda@hotmail.com \n  \n  \n  \n### \n  \nFriends of Contemporary Art (FOCA)  works actively as an advocate for contemporary art by supporting exhibitions at the New Mexico Museum of Art and partnering with the Museum to build its contemporary art collection through active fundraising\, public education\, and special events. \n  \n  \nThe New Mexico Museum of Art celebrates the diversity of the visual arts and the legacy of New Mexico as a cultural crossroads.

The exhibition opens at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture April 11\, 2010 and has now been extended to run through February 12\, 2012. \nThere are important ties between Huichol work and Native American\, prehispanic\, and Hispanic art histories and cultures. Known today for colorful\, decorative yarn paintings\, the origins of modern Huichol art are found in the earlier Huichol religious arts of the Robert M. Zingg ethnographic collection at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture. \nHuichol Art and Culture: Balancing the World focuses on the Huichol\, a Native American people of western Mexico who for many centuries have retained their unique culture and prehispanic religious beliefs. Their remote location in the rugged Sierra Madre Occidental mountains primarily in the states of Jalisco and Nayarit has allowed for greater resistance than any other indigenous group to the forces of Christianization and acculturation. The Huichol people today continue to create traditional art and practice ancient rituals that predate the time of Spanish contact. \nFrom 1934-1935\, Dr. Robert Mowry Zingg (1900–1957) was the first American anthropologist to conduct extended ethnographic fieldwork among the Huichol in the community of Tuxpan de Bolaños. Zingg lived with Huichol families and participated in everyday life\, while studying their mythology and ceremonialism. Huichol Art and Culture: Balancing the World presents the collection of Huichol artifacts which Zingg collected on behalf of the Laboratory of Anthropology during the earliest years of its history as an institution.  \nIn the past and today\, Huichol art is made to communicate with a pantheon of ancestors and gods. When Zingg arrived in Tuxpan\, he found that most Huichol adults were occupied with making art. As he observed\, the Huichol constantly create offerings which serve as visual prayers to the gods. As part of the ceremonial cycle\, the Huichol make pilgrimages to leave offerings at sacred sites. \nCeremonial offerings to the gods are the precursors to the art of modern Huichol yarn painting. Early Huichol votive art evolved into art produced for sale beginning in the 1950s\, when artists adapted traditional techniques\, designs\, and materials to “paint” in yarn. Sophisticated and vibrant Huichol yarn paintings have now become renowned in the global art market.   \nAmong the highlights of the Zingg collection are outstanding examples of ancient\, symbolic textile designs that were intricately woven on backstrap looms by Huichol women. The collection features prayer arrows\, richly decorated votive gourd bowls\, and other offerings for the gods. Oversized shamans’ chairs and diminutive gods’ chairs are unique to Huichol ceremonies. Colorful macaw feathers\, beaded jewelry\, deerskin quivers\, embroidered clothing\, and hats adorned with feathers\, squirrel tails\, and ribbons all attest to a time and a culture where art objects were made for everyday and ceremonial use\, not tourist consumption. \nThe concept of balance is central to Huichol art and culture. The balancing of opposites\, such as the wet and dry seasons\, or darkness and light\, is a prevalent theme in Huichol art. Huichol ceremonies are performed and offerings are made to keep the world in balance\, ensuring successful crops and hunting\, fertility\, and health. Today\, the Huichol say that they continue to make art and perform the centuries-old rituals not just for their own people\, but for the benefit of everyone in the world. \nThe concept of balancing opposites\, so central to Huichol culture\, is also basic to the Pueblo worldview and is seen in Pueblo architecture\, government\, and ceremony. A further connection to Pueblo culture can be found in the Uto-Aztecan language of the Huichol. It is related to the language of the ancient Aztecs of central Mexico\, to the Cora\, to the Tohono O’odham and Hopi of Arizona\, and to the Tanoan languages of the Northern Rio Grande region of New Mexico. \nZingg\, who spent his youth in northern New Mexico\, noted a similarity in “the richness of the ceremonial life of both the Huichols and the Pueblos.” He and other scholars have drawn parallels between the two cultures\, including the importance of the cardinal directions and elaborate religious symbolism in art and decoration involving the deer\, fire\, rain\, corn\, and concepts of growth and fertility. \n  URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/497-huichol-art-and-culture-balancing-the-world/ 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/2023/05/497_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:20100214T010000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20110102T170000 DTSTAMP:20230614T175230Z CREATED:20100410T034139Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230614T175230Z UID:10001362-1266109200-1293987600@test-dca-mc.nmdca.net SUMMARY:Harry Fonseca: In the Silence of Dusk DESCRIPTION:The exhibition Harry Fonseca: In the Silence of Dusk  focuses on four series of paintings that explore the transformative and mythic forces that Fonseca perceived in himself and the world around him. The painting series include In the Silence of Dusk\, Stone Poems\, St. Francis of Assisi; and Seasons. While not a retrospective\, the exhibition explores Fonseca’s body of work as it changes focus from stylized but representational studies based on his Native American heritage to more abstract explorations of his world to non-objective compositions celebrating color. All of the works in the exhibition are courtesy of the Harry Fonseca Trust. The exhibition opens at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture on Sunday\, February 14\, 2010\, 1:00-4:00 p.m. and runs through January 2\, 2011. \nHarry Fonseca was raised in California but moved to in Santa Fe in 1990 and lived here until his death in 2006.  His father of Portuguese descent was a janitor\, and his mother\, of Hawaiian and Maidu Indian descent\, was a traditional housewife and mother. Fonseca learned little of his cultural legacy growing up. Essential to his understanding of being Maidu (a central California Indian tribe) were three men he met as an adult: Frank LaPena\, a Wintu artist teaching at California State University Sacramento; his uncle\, Henry Azbill\, a Concow Maidu\, who was a significant figure in efforts to reestablish and preserve Maidu traditions in California and with whom Fonseca recorded the Maidu creation stories; and Concow Maidu painter Frank Day who was central to creating the Maidu Dancers and Traditionalists\, of which Fonseca was a member. \nAs Fonseca told Larry Abbott in 1991–92\, \n“I found out more about my Native American background\, and became involved with the dances and the whole traditional base. That really gave me a foundation\, not only for me but for my art work as well. It’s still here. It’s still very\, very strong. It has a great deal of meaning to me\, even when I am not doing a petroglyph\, or a coyote or something\, there’s still something there.” \n  \nFonseca’s introduction to Coyote—the trickster and mythical figure who would become the subject of his most renowned work—occurred during his participation in a traditional dance. One of the figures was dressed as a Coyote and his part in the ceremony was both as jester and guide. Coyote was Fonseca’s alter-ego and throughout his career he painted the trials and tribulations of Coyote as he comes up against an Anglo/Euro-American world. \nIn this exhibition\, we put Coyote aside to explore Fonseca’s other artistic inspirations. Both the In the Silence of Dusk and Stone Poems series were inspired by Native American rock art most notably that of the Coso Range in California and rock panels throughout the American Southwest. Fonseca greatly admired the passion and determination of rock artists for the time and effort they took to carve images out of solid rock.  While they are anchored in rock art\, the In the Silence of Dusk series’ central figures allude to transformation and existence in a surreal space\, and Fonseca instills them with a sense of the mystery and the intuitive. \n  \nHarry Fonseca also created a series of works based on the person St. Francis of Assisi and the figure of Icarus that explored spirituality and mythology outside of his Native culture.  In the St. Francis of Assisi series Fonseca steps outside his Native American heritage to create works that are meditations on the life of a man he greatly admired for his trueness to self through his rejection of wealth and privilege\, his strong commitment to the poor\, and his celebration of all forms of life. \n  \nAt the end of his career Fonseca began working on abstract works\, including the spontaneous drip paintings he titled “Seasons.” These paintings which mark another stylistic shift reflect the artist’s love of the outdoors\, a physical and mental release\, a sense of freedom\, and a future ripe with new possibilities. He completed his last Seasons painting in 2006. \n  \nFonseca was recognized in 2004 with the Alan Houser Memorial Award by New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson. In 2005 the Eiteljorg Museum in Indianapolis\, Indiana\, \nawarded Fonseca the prestigious Eiteljorg Fellowship for Native American Fine Art. \n  \nHarry Fonseca: In the Silence of Dusk opens Sunday\, February 14\, 2010\, 1:00-4:00 p.m.\, in the Lloyd Kiva New Gallery at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture with a reception in celebration of Lloyd Kiva New’s birthday. Refreshments will be provided from 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. by Aysen New. \n  \nMargaret Archuleta (Tewa/Nuevo Mexicana) will speak on Fonseca’s career in the O’Keefe Theater\, 2 – 3 p.m. Seating is limited. Archuleta is a Ph.D. student in Art History at the University of New Mexico and a former director of the Institute of American Indian Art Museum\, Santa Fe. \n  \n  URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/620-harry-fonseca-in-the-silence-of-dusk/ 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/2023/05/620_thumb.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Daniel Zillmann":MAILTO:daniel.zillmann@state.nm.us 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;VALUE=DATE:20100129 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20100419 DTSTAMP:20230614T175230Z CREATED:20100129T070000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230614T175230Z UID:10001361-1264723200-1271635199@test-dca-mc.nmdca.net SUMMARY:554 -- Museums in the 21st Century: Concepts\, Projects\, Buildings DESCRIPTION: URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/554-museums-in-the-21st-century-concepts-projects-buildings/ 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;VALUE=DATE:20100129 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20100419 DTSTAMP:20230614T175135Z CREATED:20091121T053522Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230614T175135Z UID:10001076-1264723200-1271635199@test-dca-mc.nmdca.net SUMMARY:Museums in the 21st Century: Concepts\, Projects\, Buildings DESCRIPTION:Frank Gehry\, Renzo Piano\, Daniel Libeskind\, Tadao Ando\, Spacelab’s (Peter Cook/Colin Fournier)\, Rafael Viñoly\, and Yoshio Taniguchi are members of a pantheon of architects regarded for their original\, innovative\, and groundbreaking designs. In common\, they were all commissioned between 2000 and 2010 to design museums – some realized\, others in progress\, and a few indefinitely on hold. \n The first ten years of the 21st century witnessed the apex internationally for the commissioning of museum buildings by star architects\, such as these. The many new museum buildings\, renovations\, and/or expansions taking place all over the world interested the director of the Art Centre Basel\, Suzanne Greub\, who then developed the exhibition Museums of the 21st Century\, opening at the New Mexico Museum of Art on Friday\, January 29\, 2010. \nThe installation of the Museums in the 21st Century: Concepts\, Projects\, Buildings at the New Mexico Museum of Art will conclude the exhibition’s successful national and international tour. Museum curator Merry Scully has selected more than a dozen museum building projects from the original exhibition for inclusion in the installation in Santa Fe. \n Among the architectural projects featured in Museums in the 21st Century are Frank Gehry’s unrealized design for the Corcoran Gallery of Art\, Washington\, D.C.; Renzo Piano’s lyrical Zentrum Paul Klee in Bern\, Switzerland; Daniel Libeskind’s controversial extension of the Denver Art Museum; Tadao Ando’s dramatic design for the partially recessed Chichi Art Museum\, Naoshima\, Japan; Spacelab’s (Peter Cook/Colin Fournier) “friendly alien” the Kunsthaus Graz\, Austria; Rafael Viñoly’s design of The Nasher Museum\, Duke University\, Durham\, North Carolina; and Yoshio Taniguchi’s expansion and renovation of the Museum of Modern Art\, New York. \n Greub considered the new architecture in terms of the look and function of the structures and how the new architecture would interplay with each particular museum’s history\, geography\, holdings\, and programming. Art Centre Basel and the represented architects collaborated on the design of each project with fully realized architectural models\, selected sketches\, computer renderings\, and animations of the various museum projects. \n Art Centre Basel has produced a catalog in several languages with images of the represented projects and critical essays by acclaimed experts. The catalog is available for sale in the New Mexico Museum of Art shop. \nMuseums in the 21st Century: Concepts\, Projects\, Buildings is an Art Centre Basel exhibition (www.artcentralbasel.com). Idea and concept Suzanne Greub and Thierry Greub\, Art Center Basel; Realization: Christine Gisi\, Art Centre Basel. \n The exhibition opens on Friday\, January 29\, 2010 5:30 – 7:30 with a reception hosted by the Women’s Board of the Museum of New Mexico and will run through April 18\, 2010. \n This exhibition has been made possible in part through the generous support of The Burnett Foundation and Thornburg Investment Management. \n High resolution exhibition images may be downloaded from the Media Center at http://media.museumofnewmexico.org/.

The catalog divides the textile and costume collection into two categories\, textiles and dress\, and into several subcategories: textiles for the bed; for the dwelling; for the church\, temple\, or ceremony; and\, decorative pieces such as samplers. Dress is divided into headwear\, outerwear\, footwear\, accessories\, ceremonial\, and complete ensembles. \nFormer Curator Bobbie Sumberg said\, “Making and embellishing textiles can be a powerful tool of socialization and a reflection of cultural values. By looking at the production and use of textiles\, numerous aspects of history and culture become illuminated. For example\, gender roles within a family and within a society or culture are usually played out when cloth is made and worn. \nThe exhibition was in the Cotsen Gallery of the Neutrogena Wing from December 20\, 2009 through August 7\, 2011.

Together\, they tell the story of cultural encounters between early colonists and the Native Americans who had long called this place home. \n“This exhibition gives visitors a broad perspective of the settling of Santa Fe and the web of cultural influences the Spanish brought with them\,” Diaz said. “The founding of Santa Fe is a big and complex story to tell\, and this show offers a glimpse of different aspects of Spanish colonial life\, from the domestic to the economic to the political and religious.” \nSanta Fe Found serves as living proof of how the lives of the founders were lived\, including who they married\, the hardships they faced\, the tools they used and the foods they ate. (Hint: Carne Adovada was generations away; turkey\, deer and rabbit were often the dish of the day.) \nPrior to the construction of the New Mexico History Museum\, which opened in May 2009\, Post and his fellow archaeologists conducted a two-year dig to investigate the archaeology of the site at 113 Lincoln Ave.\, just off the Santa Fe Plaza. More than 90\,000 artifacts were unearthed from the 17th-century\, revealing tales of life as it once was. \n“Surprising to some and not to others\, the New Mexico History Museum was complex and rich in the information it yielded on 300 years of people living and working behind the Palace of the Governors\,” Post said. “Combined with Dedie Snow’s 1974-1975 excavations within the Palace\, our work gives a unique inside-outside look at a central place in New Mexico history.” \nOther featured archaeological sites add to the story. The Baca-Garvisu site was the home of a prominent Santa Fe family in the 1700s\, located where the Santa Fe Community Convention Center now stands. The Sanchez Site\, an early Spanish estancia\, or rural settlement\, was partly excavated in the 1980s and is now managed by El Rancho de los Golondrinas. Also prominent in the exhibition is San Gabriel del Yungue at the Pueblo of Ohkay Owingeh\, where the first Spanish colonists briefly set their roots. \nSpain’s far northern colony of Santa Fe was reached by a six-month journey up El Camino Real\, a barely mapped and uncertain route that held only hazy promises of water and shelter. Holding together a caravan of 700 people – soldiers\, friars\, men and a few women and children – and the tools and livestock it would take to build a new colony tested the explorers’ abilities and\, sometimes\, their humanity. \nSome of the artifacts show that\, despite the frontier conditions\, fine goods had managed to travel up El Camino Real to homes and missions in the colony. A sampling of the pottery that was found on the digs includes Spanish majolica\, blue-and-white Mexican pottery modeled on examples from the Ming Dynasty in China\, colorful Mexican pottery and Pueblo pottery. Also found were tobacco pipes\, gold earrings\, gunflints and arrowheads. \nA few sherds of the pottery found by archaeologists speak to a monumental expedition. Centuries past\, they were parts of delicate Ming vases loaded onto a Spanish galleon at a Chinese port for an ocean journey then a bumpy trip up El Camino Real to the young colony. \n“Considering the Chinese pottery traveled across the ocean and then 1\,600 miles up the Camino Real\, it’s not surprising – and it’s even amazing – that we found only one or two pieces of these vessels\,” Post said. \n \nFrom these roots grew La Villa Real de Santa Fe\, the Royal City of Santa Fe. What do the historical accounts say of the homes they built and the crops they grew? What has the soil yielded of their lives\, the fragile beginnings of a young Spanish colony? \nCome to the exhibit to find out. \nFunding for the Santa Fe Found exhibition and lecture series was made possible by the Palace Guard\, a support group of the Museum of New Mexico Foundation; the Gala Opening Committee; Friends of Archaeology\, a support group of the Museum of New Mexico Foundation; the Santa Fe 400th; and the Museum of New Mexico Foundation. \n  \n  URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/436-santa-fe-found-fragments-of-time-the-archaeological-and-historic-roots-of-americas-oldest-capital-city/ 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/2023/05/436_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:20091009 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20100111 DTSTAMP:20230627T201358Z CREATED:20091009T060000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230627T201358Z UID:10001358-1255046400-1263167999@test-dca-mc.nmdca.net SUMMARY:Manmade: Notions of Landscape From the Lannan Foundation DESCRIPTION: URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/manmade-notions-of-landscape-from-the-lannan-foundation/ 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:20091009 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20100111 DTSTAMP:20230614T175135Z CREATED:20091008T222042Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230614T175135Z UID:10001074-1255046400-1263167999@test-dca-mc.nmdca.net SUMMARY:Manmade: Notions of Landscape From the Lannan Foundation DESCRIPTION:The work of nine artists will be featured in Manmade: Notions of Landscape from the Lannan Collection. Landscape is often thought of as a pristine wilderness\, uninhabited and unmarred by human presence\, despite the fact that for many decades now landscape has in practice been represented as incontrovertibly interconnected with mankind and the land itself has been the very material of artmaking. \nManmade: Notions of Landscape from the Lannan Collection\, an exhibition primarily of photography including two significant installations\, one by James Turrell and the other by Robert Smithson. The exhibition will be on display at the New Mexico Museum of Art October 9\, 2009\, through January 10\, 2010. \nOne of the threads that runs through the Santa Fe-based Lannan Foundation collection is an exploration of man and the landscape—not landscape in its most literal sense\, but landscape as a construction of meanings and relationships that are always morphing\, growing\, decaying\, and exploding. These various facets of landscape include the natural\, the cultural\, the social\, and the political. Everywhere human presence\, for good or bad\, is evident and our relationship to our environment is always under negotiation. \nThe Lannan Foundation works related to landscape are never of the sort that is a celebration purely of a sublime or pristine nature; rather they are of the terrain inscribed with all manner of human interaction\, including manmade creations meant to guide our way through the oceans\, earthworks\, human-aided natural disaster\, and the theatre of war. \n“For over 20 years\, Lannan Foundation has supported the creation and maintenance of important land art projects such as James Turrell’s Roden Crater\, Robert Smithson’s Spiral Jetty\, Michael Heizer’s City Complex\, and Walter de Maria’s Lightning Fields\,” states Lannan Foundation Program Director for Art Christie Mazuera Davis. “Our collection\, which numbers over 800 works of art\, features a significant amount of photography\, much of which focuses on the land or manmade environments. While the Foundation has not established a specific criterion to collect landscape-oriented artwork\, it is this medium that has perhaps best captured the many-faceted relationship between man and the environment in recent decades.” \nThe photo-based works that will be on view in Manmade: Notions of Landscape from the Lannan Collection includes post-Katrina photographs of a ravaged landscape by Debbie Fleming Caffery; images of the meeting of land and sea that have been witness to historic moments by Thomas Joshua Cooper; a typological grid of lighthouse photographs by Olafur Eliasson; the confessional water images of Roni Horn; nighttime photographs of wars acted out in the desert by An-My Le; “portraits” of explosions in the landscape by Sarah Pickering; and photographs of the contemporary industrial landscape by Victoria Sambunaris. \nTwo well-known Earthwork artists are also represented in the exhibition. The Lannan Collection has rich holdings of James Turrell’s work\, including hand-worked aerial views of Roden Crater\, an extinct volcano outside of Flagstaff\, Arizona\, that the artist has been “sculpting” into a monumental earthwork since 1979. Also on view in the New Mexico Museum of Art’s galleries will be Robert Smithson’s 1969 sculptural masterwork Map of Broken Glass (Atlantis)\, an example both of his early work with earth and glass or mirrors and of his reconsideration of the nature of sculpture. \n“This is the museum’s first exhibition of works from the Lannan Foundation collection\,” states Curator of Contemporary Art Laura Addison. “There is a tremendous consistency of vision between the Lannan Foundation’s collecting interests and their broader mission. The works in Manmade may take landscape tradition as its point of departure\, but there is nothing ordinary about the artists’ approach to their subject matter. These are not simply pretty pictures of the environment. There is a strong sense of purpose that underlies the photographs\, in keeping with the Lannan Foundation’s ethos of social responsibility and critical engagement. Each of the artists in Manmade single-mindedly pursues a particular question or problem with respect to the man/land relationship or in terms of art historical paradigms from Minimalism to New Topographics. In some instances that pursuit will take an artist to the ends of the earth\, literally.” \n  URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/manmade-notions-of-landscape-from-the-lannan-foundation-2/ LOCATION:New Mexico Museum of Art- Plaza Building\, 107 West Palace Avenue\, Santa Fe\, NM\, 87501\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibition ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/486_thumb.jpg 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:20090927T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20110131T170000 DTSTAMP:20230614T175227Z CREATED:20160322T044033Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230614T175227Z UID:10001345-1254045600-1296493200@test-dca-mc.nmdca.net SUMMARY:A Century of Masters: The NEA Heritage Fellows of New Mexico DESCRIPTION:New Mexico residents are well-represented in this distinguished group of talented artists\, especially given the size of the state’s population.
