> DESCRIPTION
Here
& There: Seeing New Ground
June
2 – July 11, 2009
An exhibition for LAND/ART featuring contemporary artists
examining the landscape from perspectives that are both visual and cultural,
including explorations of Native American film, as well as Native and
non-Native artists who subvert landscape perspective to examine issues
of the environment and human beings' relationship with nature. Through
photography, painting, drawing, sculpture, print, film and installation,
these artists offer interpretations of the land and landscape both within
and without human interaction.
OFF-SITE PROJECTS:
Karl Hofmann: COLOSSUS
June 2 –
July 11
Reception/Open House: Friday, June 5, 5-8pm
Location: Gold Street Lofts, 104 Gold Ave. SW, Downtown Albuquerque, open weekends, 12-4pm (closed July 4-5)
Presented in conjunction with the exhibition Here & There: Seeing
New Ground, 516 ARTS presents COLOSSUS, a collaborative, site-specific
art installation in the Gold Street Lofts in Downtown Albuquerque, with
guest artist Karl Hofmann and the students of Bret Aaker at Amy Biehl
High School. The group is producing a large-scale interpretation of the
mountain Grosser Mythen in the Swiss Alps, a famous subject for Romantic
artists and writers for centuries, revisioned out of scrap wood, cardboard
and junk mail. The installation uses waste-stream materials to explore
contemporary and historical ideas of the Sublime as a source of inspiration.
A soundscape by students of Blake Minnerly at the Media Arts Collaborative
High School accompanies the piece. This installation is part of an effort
exploring the use of empty Downtown commercial real estate for temporary
artists’ projects.
Timothy Horn: Medusa
July 10 & 11
Reception Friday, July 10, 6-8pm open Saturday, July 11, 12-5pm
at 1711 Painted Sky Rd., Santa Fe, 87507
Australian artist Timothy Horn’s Medusa is
a 9-foot wide chandelier-like structure, made of transparent silicone
rubber. Medusa is based on engraved images of jellyfish by 19th-century
German zoologist Ernst Haeckel, who created drawings of microscopic lifeforms
and marine creatures. Haeckel’s attempts at rendering these ephemeral
organisms were flavored by his imagination, at a time when technology
didn’t allow for them to be recorded more accurately. Timothy Horn
has been intrigued with the invented rules and role of subjectivity in
Haeckel’s scientific study of the natural world. Horn’s 800-pound
Medusa is temporarily installed in Santa Fe in conjunction with
Here & There: Seeing New Ground for LAND/ART. Horn’s
work is also included in the exhibition at 516 ARTS.
