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. Woven Identities honors those weavers and the many others whose names we do not yet know.

The exhibition runs through April 1\, 2014. Opening events are 10am-4pm on Sunday November 20th. NM residents with i.d. are free on Sundays\, children under 17 always free. \nTrunk Show  10am – 4pm.Terry DeWald of Terry DeWald American Indian Art will be holding a basket trunk show on both Saturday and Sunday. He will be bring 50 – 75 baskets for sale \nBasket Making Demonstration by Haida Weaver Jacinthe Two Bulls from 12 pm to 4 pm. She will be giving a short talk on her craft at 12:30 pm. Jacinthe Two Bulls learned to weave Haida baskets at the age of seven from her mother\, Vicki LeCornu. She  learned how to gather and prepare cedar bark and spruce roots from her mother and her maternal Uncle\, Douglas Burgess. They taught her to respect the material\, and her environment. Jacinthe has now been weaving for 21 years\, and has found the confidence in the past year to experiment outside of traditional Haida basket weaving.  \nTerry DeWald will be giving a talk on basket materials at 2 pm  using baskets from his collection as examples:  Identifying Baskets of the Western United States: Tribes\, Materials\, and Motifs. \nTo read a basket five principal traits must be taken into account: material\, construction\, form and design\, and utility.

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’Keeffe 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  \nMedia Contacts: \nValerie Verzuh \nCurator of Individually Cataloged Collectios \n505-476-1296 \nvalerie.verzuh@state.nm.us \n  \nSteve Cantrell \nPR Manager \n505-476-1144 \n505-310-3539 – cell \nsteve.cantrell@state.nm.us URL:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/dca-event/619-opening-reception-for-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:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://test-dca-mc.nmdca.net/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/619_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;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.
