21st annual Art of Devotion exhibition
Location: Peyton Wright Gallery
This exhibition showcases one of the largest and most significant collections of 17th to 19th century devotional artwork in the country, featuring Spanish Colonial Viceregal paintings, sculpture, furniture, silverwork, and objects from the former Spanish Portuguese colonies – present-day Bolivia, Peru, Argentina, Mexico,Ecuador, Chile, Venezuela, Guatemala and the Philippines. The exhibition also includes paintings by noted European Old Masters, Russian icons, and a very rare collection of bultos, cristos, and retablos by significant New Mexican santeros.
Art of Devotion exhibits not only a significant ecclesiastical tradition and its manifestations across Europe and the Americas; it represents devotion as a seamless element of daily life. The majority of these works and objects were not cloistered in churches, but were kept in private homes and chapels where they were used, looked at, and lived with as part of the rhythm of daily life.

Oli Sihvonen: In Motion
Location: David Richard Gallery 505-983-9555
The eleven paintings by Oli Sihvonen in this exhibition are probably the least known by the artist, but quite possibly his most important series of paintings as they are a culmination of decades of his thinking about and examining visual perception through the use of reductive forms and color. This is the first time that most have ever beenexhibited and the first time all have been presented as an exploration of the subject of the artist's two grants in the 1980s from the Pollock-Krasner Foundation and Gottlieb Foundation to create movement in paintings. They conflate the elements he developed in his better-known and earlier series, including “ellipses”, “grids” and “ladders”. However, throughout much of his career, Sihvonen wanted to capture time in paintings and he did so by focusing on the temporality of such things as movement, beat and rhythm. Interested in the mathematical principle of Set Theory, he applied that to painting, with his reductive elements each comprising a set. By repeating each element within a set, Sihvonen developed a beat and pattern that amplified the set. By combining different sets, he generated a sense of randomness that conveyed both the concepts of chance and time. Not only does one see in these paintings blocks of vibrant and angled color bracketing and defining thin black and white stripes and pinstripes, but the overall feeling is they are vibrational and full of energy. Compositions are activated by the lines with their alternating pattern and variations in width, creating both depth and movement from the layering of pattern on pattern and challenging visual perception.

FEAST: Radical Hospitality in Contemporary Art
Location: SITE Santa Fe (505) 989-1199
Since the 1930s, numerous artists have used the simple act of sharing food and drink to advance aesthetic goals and to foster critical engagement with the culture of their moment. These artist-orchestrated meals can offer a radical form of hospitality that punctures everyday experience, using the meal as a means to shift perceptions and spark encounters that aren't always possible in a fast-moving and segmented society.
Feast surveys this practice for the first time, presenting the work of more than thirty artists and artist groups who have transformed the shared meal into a compelling artistic medium. The exhibition examines the history of the artist-orchestrated meal, assessing its roots in early-twentieth century European avant-garde art, its development over the past decades within Western art, and its current global ubiquity. The exhibition will introduce new artists and contextualize their work in relation to other influential artists, from the Italian Futurists and Gordon Matta-Clark to Marina Abramović and Rirkrit Tiravanija. Feast addresses the radical hospitality embodied by these artists and the social, commercial, and political structures that surround the experience of eating together.
Join the feast and discover first hand the ways in which artists are using shared experiences with food and drink to spark new encounters with the world around us. As part of the exhibition, SITE presents an array of participatory projects, meals, and salons. Highlights include The Act of Drinking Beer with Friends is the Highest Form of Art, by Tom Marioni, and a series of one-on-one meals with artist Lee Mingwei, held after hours within a sculptural installation at SITE Santa Fe. Also, the winner of SITE's community fundraising dinner, SPREAD 4.0, held on October 11, 2013—Axle Contemporary's The Royal Bread Show—will be included in the exhibition.
Feast includes art, documentary materials, and new public projects by Marina Abramović and Ulay, Sonja Alhäuser, Mary Ellen Carroll, Fallen Fruit, Theaster Gates, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, InCUBATE, The Italian Futurists, Mella Jaarsma, Alison Knowles, Suzanne Lacy, Lee Mingwei, Laura Letinsky, Tom Marioni, Gordon Matta-Clark, Mildred's Lane, Julio César Morales and Max La Rivière-Hedrick, motiroti, National Bitter Melon Council, Ana Prvacki, Sudsiri Pui-Ock, Michael Rakowitz, Ayman Ramadan, Red76, David Robbins, Allen Ruppersberg, Bonnie Sherk, Barbara T. Smith, Daniel Spoerri, and Rirkrit Tiravanija.

Georgia O'Keeffe: Abiquiu Views
Location: Georgia O'Keeffe Museum (505) 946-1000
In 1945, Georgia O'Keeffe purchased a four acre site with an adobe hacienda style house built around a central patio, on a mesa in the village of Abiquiu. Constructed from local materials, the uninhabited house was a ruin returning to the earth, when she first saw it. O'Keeffe welcomed the opportunity to rebuild it and make it her own, suited to her artistic practice. O'Keeffe lived and worked in the house for the rest of her life, finding continuing inspiration in the architecture of the home and the views of the surrounding landscape. This exhibition brings together paintings inspired by her Abiquiu home, some seen for the first time in many decades. It also includes a reconstruction of the view from her studio, centered on a work table of her own design, arranged with her original art materials and tools.
O'Keeffe engaged Maria Chabot, to assist her with the restoration of the walled compound in Abiquiu. While the footprint of the structure was faithful to the original, Chabot reimagined new uses for the existing rooms. She mapped a plan for domestic spaces, a garden with fruit trees, the largest studio the artist ever had, and a plan to enlarge the windows toward the view of cottonwood trees to the north and the mesa east of the house.
Surrounded by a wall, the house looked inward to a patio, and did not offer the dramatic vistas of O'Keeffe's first home at the Ghost Ranch. The only possibility for gaining a view of the surrounding landscape was beyond the walls of the compound. Chabot imagined a studio in a separate building at the edge of the mesa that had previously functioned as a stable and buggy house. It sheltered the largest interior space on the property and offered the only possibility for an extended view. Further, Chabot suggested opening the wall in O'Keeffe's studio with a picture window, which allowed an endless view toward the Chama River Valley and the Jemez Mountains beyond. During the 1950s the overlook from her studio inspired O'Keeffe to create more than two dozen paintings of the cottonwood trees that grew along the river below. Ten of those paintings are included in this exhibition.
Though the studio window was an extravagant luxury in rural New Mexico, Chabot asked O'Keeffe if she would also like her corner bedroom to be “mostly glass.” With O'Keeffe's consent, Chabot installed a modern picture window in the studio along with an expanse of glass at the corner of the adjoining bedroom. The view from the artist's bed room window also stirred her imagination. In 1952, O'Keeffe began to visualize the winding road that cut through the landscape in a series of ever-more simplified compositions. Paintings and drawings of the mesa and road are also part of the exhibition.
The paintings that comprise this exhibition are emblematic of O'Keeffe's endless fascination with the color and form of her surroundings in northern New Mexico; a landscape that inspired her art and the reconstruction of her home and studio in Abiquiu.
During the course of 2014, the gallery installations will change to reveal different views of the property, including images of her famous patio and the black door.

Heartbeat: Music of the Native Southwest
Location: Museum of Indian Arts and Culture (505) 476-1250
A celebration of sight, sound, and activity for visitors of all ages, Heartbeat: Music of the Native Southwest, opens Sunday, September 29, 2013 at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture. Over 100 objects relating to Southwestern Native dance and music will be featured, including a flute made by Grammy award-winning artist Robert Mirabal of Taos Pueblo.
Collectively used for indigenous ritual performance, the drums, flutes, rasps, rattles, and clothing featured in the exhibition convey a richly layered message. Music, too, is integral to the ceremony—it is more than accompaniment for the dancers; each song is a prayer providing a pathway to the here and now and to the worlds beyond.
Native music of the Southwest is still shaped by traditional cultural practices, as well as today by those powerful disseminators of American and World music, the internet, television, radio, CDs, and DVDs.
Curator Tony Chavarria (Santa Clara Pueblo) says, “For American Indian cultures—Southwestern tribes in particular—music has remained the heartbeat of sacred life ways for more than two thousand years. Music binds the earthly realms with their oppositional counterparts. Indigenous Southwest musicians express themselves through traditional forms as well as a wide variety of contemporary musical styles informed through their cultural basis.”
In the gallery, the sights and sounds of Native dance and music can be experienced in multiple interactive zones. Visitors can listen to the wide array of Native music being produced today, how different types of instruments sound, and view historical footage of dance performances. And make your own music in the Heartbeat Recording Studio.
Music is fundamentally interwoven into the everyday lives of Native Americans; continuing to bind the ancient cultures of the Southwest to their lands and life ways. Heartbeat: Music of the Native Southwest, through a Native curatorial voice, explores this enduring connection between the past and present.

Donald Woodman: Transformed by New Mexico
Location: New Mexico History Museum 505-476-5200
Photography exhibit explores how land and sky changed an artist's vision Beginning with his early years working as a research photographer at the Sacramento Peak Solar Observatory in southern New Mexico, photographer Donald Woodman honed his photographic vision first through stars and clouds and then through sandy soil, majestic peaks and his own interior life. Donald Woodman: Transformed by New Mexico explores that journey through a series of photographs on exhibit February 23 through October 12, 2014, in the New Mexico History Museum's Mezzanine Gallery.
Transformed by New Mexico is one of the commemorations of the museum's fifth anniversary, a yearlong series of exhibits and events celebrating all the museum has accomplished since its opening in May 2009. In 2011, Woodman was the first person to donate his photographs, negatives, books, diaries, equipment, and research material to the Photo Legacy Project at the Palace of the Governors Photo Archives. The Photo Legacy Project aims to collect the work of contemporary photographers to bolster the archives historical holdings of nearly 1 million images.
Donald Woodman: Transformed by New Mexico includes more than a dozen examplesof the Belen-based photographer's work from the early 1970s to 1998—a period in the artist's life when he abruptly abandoned the formative but conservative East Coast and committed himself to a new life and vision in New Mexico. The exhibit traces his early photographs, made while studying with his most important mentor, Minor White, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The images continue through scientific explorations at the Sacramento Peak Solar Observatory in Sunspot, NM, examinations of light and landscapes, and intimate selections from The Therapist Series. Each of the images invites the viewer to look deeply at the tones, forms and shapes; to begin to understand the relationship Woodman has with his cameras, his world, and himself as he moves quietly from behind the lens to placing himself in its focus.

50 Works for 50 States: New Mexico
Location: New Mexico Museum of Art (505) 476-5072
An example of both love and tenacity, Dorothy and Herbert Vogel's passion for art and artists led to the formation of a significant collection of contemporary art. Over the course of their forty year marriage the two art aficionados and civil servants (a postal clerk and a librarian) amassed close to 5000 works of contemporary art in their collection. The New Mexico Museum of Art was selected to receive a gift from the notorious collectors “Herb and Dorothy” Vogel, and is pleased to be sharing these new additions to our collection with the public.
Noted for their interest in new, and, often difficult artwork, the collection includes many minimal and conceptual artists. Artworks and artists included in the donation to the New Mexico Museum of art include Robert Barry, Linda Benglis, Jene Highstein, Edda Renouf, Judy Rifka and Richard Tuttle. The objects are as varied as Richard Tuttle's subtle watercolor marks on loose leaf paper to Ron M. Fisher's funky assemblage, Apparatus Lamp. Through the National Gallery of Art, the Vogel collection has been distributed throughout the United States. An allotment of fifty artworks has been gifted to one institution in each of the fifty states. The New Mexico Museum of Art is honored to be the recipient of this generous gift and celebrate these additions to our collection.
For more information about the Dorothy and Herbert Vogel Collection, you can go to the website http://vogel5050.org/ or read the book, The Dorothy and Herbert Vogel collection : fifty works for fifty states which is currently available in the museum's library.

Greensky Bluegrass comes to Sol Santa Fe
Location: Santa Fe Sol Stage & Grill
Greensky Bluegrass: Bluegrass/Newgrass/Jam Band - Kalamazoo, MI Progressive Bluegrass at its best comes to Sol Santa Fe March 12 at 7:30. Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 at the door. On sale at Tiketssantafe.org and the Lensic Box office. 505-988-1234 As their name might suggest, Greensky Bluegrass utilizes traditional bluegrass instruments – dobro, banjo, guitar, upright bass and mandolin. However, the music that they make is anything but reversionary and the new album, Handguns is a brave expression of what separates their original music from the rest of the bluegrass genre.
Handguns was recorded in between tours this winter as the band holed up in a studio in their home state of Michigan, committing the songs straight-to-tape on the exact recording console that originally birthed Lynyrd Skynyrd's infamous track "Free Bird” decades earlier. Matching the warmth of the analog sound, vintage microphones were utilized alongside state-of-the-art studio equipment to create a truly blended and artful sonic experience.
Greensky has continued to gain national momentum since they won the Telluride Bluegrass Festival's coveted Band Competition in 2006 and have been invited to play at last summer's Northwest String Summit, Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival and NPR's Mountain Stage, while also playing at Bonnaroo, Bumbershoot and Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. As these diverse festivals would suggest, they're a bluegrass band but they're not. Bluegrass doesn't have distortion, or horns for that matter. Greensky does.

Western Images - Opening reception
Location: Manitou Galleries at 225 Canyon Road 505.986.0440
Manitou Galleries at 225 Canyon Road presents, "Western Images", a show of classic western imagery by gallery artists: Gregg Albracht, Gary Lynn Roberts, Marlin Rotach, Billy Schenck, Gail Gash Taylor, and Don Weller. Gregg Albracht's photography bespeaks of his unending passion to capture what Henri Cartier-Bresson, called the "decisive moment." Albracht says, ”to experience a magical moment when everything is just perfect is a rare thing, but when it happens, to be there to capture it, experience it...to hold that moment forever in a photograph is what drives my life."
The son of noted Western artist Joe Rader Roberts, Gary Lynn Roberts grew up surrounded by art. "I was fortunate to grow up in that atmosphere" he says. "In addition to my father, I received one on one training from many of his friends such as G. Harvey and A.D. Greer to mention only a couple. Many of my trainers were some of the Nation's most notable artists". The desire to capture history on canvas by totally researching the event depicted has made Gary Lynn one of America's most sought after historical print artists. Gary Lynn says "I want to do more than create a historically correct scene; I want to tell a story. When someone views one of my paintings, I want them to feel like they are part of the painting."
Marlin Rotach has known since a very early age that painting was his lifelong ambition. Born and raised in Salina, Kansas. He earned a B.F.A. in painting from Kansas State University. While attending K-State, he met and married his wife Carol. Rotach went on to complete his M.F.A. at the University of Nebraska. He then taught design, drawing, and painting at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Since the mid-1990's Marlin Rotach has worked almost exclusively in watercolors, doing paintings for both galleries and private commissions.

The Colorado River is the most dammed and diverted river in the world. As it struggles to support 30 million people and the Colorado River Pact, WATERSHED asks many important questions about the future of the river and watersheds in the American West. Can we meet the needs of a growing population in the face of rising temperatures and lower rainfall in an already arid land? Can we find harmony amongst the competing interests of cities, agriculture, industry, recreation, wildlife, and indigenous communities with rights to the water?
The film was executive produced and narrated by Robert Redford and directed by award-winning filmmaker, Mark Decena. According to the Redford Center, “This film was created as an inspirational social action tool for people who want to engage. Promoting personal water conservation pledges of 5% – symbolic of the small amount of the rivers' flow required to reconnect the river to its delta– and garnering donations to help purchase the water rights necessary to restore the connectivity, WATERSHED is a central tool in a larger grassroots effort focused on saving the Colorado River and supporting the communities throughout the river basin.” (Total Running Time: 55minutes) Screening with: “Public Land, Private Profits: A Grand Threat”
The Center for American Progress, in partnership with the Sierra Club, undertook a series of mini-documentaries that revealed special places held in the public trust that could be threatened by energy development. The story profiles the new rush to mine for uranium around the Grand Canyon and the advocates who are fighting back against it. Despite the popular belief that lands surrounding the canyon are off-limits to development, a Canadian company is currently excavating uranium on the North Rim. Directed by Andrew Satter and Jessica Goad. (TRT: 6 minutes)
