New Mexico A-i-R: Curated Conversations
Thursday, Nov. 18, 6:00-7:00 pm
This virtual panel focuses on the ways that these three artists based in northern New Mexico implement new avenues for illustration in cut paper drawings, mixed media paintings, serigraphic (silkscreen) prints, and clay tiles. The conversation will focus on the artists’ arrival at their current techniques and their thematic intentions for using a particular medium. This dialogue will explore the influence of comic books and animation on these artists’ practices.
Moderated by Co-Curators:
Michelle Lanteri
Dawning Pollen Shorty (Taos Pueblo, Diné, Lakota)
Featuring:
Heidi Brandow
Okuu Pín/Jason Garcia, #DutchBros #WildBerry, 2021, hand-processed clay, mineral pigments, traditional outdoor firing process, 6 3/4 x 9 in.
Thursday, Dec. 9, 6:00-7:00 pm
This virtual panel focuses on the dynamics between the local and global contexts of these two artists’ practices in relationship to their work in abstract and representational visual languages. The conversation will explore how these artists define the concepts of local and global and move through these spheres in terms of travel and exhibitions. With both artists based in Santa Fe, the discussion will highlight the artists’ backgrounds, careers, and projects as well as the ways that the reception of their work changes according to particular places.
Featuring:
Linda LomahaftewaErica Lord
Erica Lord, DIGITAL DNA BEADING SERIES: Adrenocortical Cancer Burden Strap, DNA Microarray, 2021, glass beads, string, 50 x 7 1⁄2 in.
Thursday, Jan. 20, 6:00-7:00 pm
This virtual panel takes fashion as its focus and closely considers its role as a framework for artistic production for these three artists based in Santa Fe. The featured artists work in textiles, found materials, wood, metals, and photography, and this discussion will explore the ways that fashion influences their medium, composition, and artistic genre. The conversation will move through different concepts of fashion and the ways these relate to Indigenous worldviews and contemporary art practices.

Enjoy the presentation with Dr. Frances Joan Mathien about the history of the highly coveted turquoise. Dr. Mathien has been researching Chaco Canyon for nearly thirty years, and is retired from the National Park Service. She has produced considerable research on the use of turquoise. She worked on the Chaco Project analyzing ornaments and minerals and was editor for many of the project’s publications. Currently she is researching the Chaco field schools held from 1929-1942, and 1947. Dr. Mathien will discuss how Native Americans in the Southwest used gems and minerals for beads, pendants and mosaics pieces; known sources for some of the minerals; possible trade relationships that moved goods between different cultural groups; and the continuity of the gems’ use into the present.
This enlightening lecture is followed with Light hors d'oeuvre, a signature Turquoise cocktail and wine are offered with the opportunity to purchase Silent Auction offerings plus you can make a sealed bid on any of the Live Auction Items that will be displayed. ON top of all of this fun are activities that are making this the "funfest" party in Taos!
