Prospectus #261 T.I.M.E NOW: Bosque Redondo Historic Site, Fort Sumner, NM
New Mexico Arts and New Mexico Historic Sites seek to commission four (4) temporary public art projects inspired by a new exhibition to open in 2021 at Bosque Redondo Memorial and the rich history of the area. Inspired by a letter from a group of 17 Navajo students and their chaperones who visited the site in 1990, the exhibit has been 30 years in the making. In collaboration with the Navajo Nation and the Mescalero Apache Tribe, the exhibit was created to tell a more truthful account of the history of Fort Sumner and the Bosque Redondo Indian Reservation. Individual artists and artist teams are encouraged to apply. Navajo and Mescalero artists are strongly encouraged to apply. The local selection committee request proposals that consider one of four circles located at the entrance of the site: the four circles represent the four sacred mountains/cardinal directions for Navajo Nation.

Deadline to Apply: Monday, November 30, 2020, midnight.

A traveling exhibition of more than fifty drawings and prints, organized by the British Museum from their extensive collection, "The birth, death and resurrection of Christ: from Michelangelo to Tiepolo" tells the story of Italian art beginning with the Renaissance and ending in the mid-nineteenth century through an examination of how artists have depicted the saga of Christ.

Check out this recent addition to our collection, “Deafened by Pinwheel,” by Jen Pack 🧵
•
The title of this work conjoins the senses of vision and hearing, suggesting the artwork has, or could, transcend the visual and become audible. The drawing together of opposites is characteristic of Pack’s work, which pairs the formal and the colloquial. Her stitched and stretched fabric construction follow in a lineage of feminist artists working in textile, and also the clean shaped forms and subtle geometry of minimal and hardedge artists. Frank Stella, Florence Miller Pierce, Robert Irwin, Susan York and Stuart Arends all come to mind.
•
Pack’s atmospheric artwork was created by stitching together thin strips of fabric which are stretched over a dimensional wooden form. The resulting constructions exist at the intersection between sculpture and painting. The piecing together of strips of fabric creates an affinity in this work with the quilters of Gees Bend and Korean pojagi patchwork. Pack questions and transcends traditional binaries like hard versus soft, subtle versus simple, and high art versus craft. The artist has discussed her work as existing in the seam — the seam being the location where a sewn line joins two disparate things into one.
•

Ruth LaNore, Head of Registration and Collections, shares another of her favorite prints 🌳☁️🏜
•
I first discovered the work of Sven Birger Sandzén (known as Birger Sanzén) in the early 1990s, when I was researching some of the likely influences on Juan Pino, the Tesuque printmaker. I have been in love with his prints ever since. This woodblock print, “Afterglow,” completed in 1917, is a bit quieter than many of his prints, but it still captures the importance that the rhythm of forms and the vibration of light had for him. The majority of his prints have a wonderful glowing, buzzing sense of movement and light. Capturing nature in line was one of the most important aspects of his art.
•
Born in Sweden in 1871, Sandzén began studying art at the age of 10, and completed his studies in Europe. In 1894 he arrived in Lindsborg, Kansas, where he remained for the rest of his life. He traveled throughout the west from 1908 on, and was captivated by Western land forms. In 1919 he was in Santa Fe, where he had an exhibition at the New Mexico Museum of Art (then the Museum of Fine Arts) within a few months of his arrival. Other than the fact that at least one of the prints in our collection was completed while he was here, little else is known of his time in Santa Fe.
•
Although it is Sandzén’s printmaking that captured my attention, he was primarily known as a painter. A prolific artist, he painted over 2,600 oils and 500 watercolors in his lifetime. He began his work in printmaking in 1916, first with lithographs, and later that year in wood block printing. He went on to explore nailcut prints, made by pounding a nail into the block, and began creating drypoint etchings in 1918. The museum has 21 works by Sandzén in our collection. What a treat to find them here!

Picturing Passion
Picturing Passion brings together the works of artists including Gustave Baumann, Cady Wells, Marsden Hartley, William Penhallow Henderson, Willard Nash, Gene Kloss, Ansel Adams, Joseph Henry Sharp, Bert Geer Phillips, and Patrocino Barela, among many others who took on the penitent traditions as source material. The exhibition illustrates how artists who were new to the Southwest in the early part of the 20th century looked to Morada, Penitente processions, traditions, and materials as source materials for their work as distinctive features of New Mexican culture. The exhibition also examines the myths and stereotypes that have developed from sensationalizing the group’s beliefs and practices while endeavoring to create a space to address these misconceptions. A selection of work by contemporary santeros Raymond Lopez, George Lopez, Gustavo Victor Goler, Horacio Lopez, and Horacio Valdez illustrates the continued importance of the sacred in the penitente world view today.

Join us as we open the doors of the future site of Vladem Contemporary to the community in two public events. ∙ The Community Open House on September 21, 2019 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. will feature fun, interactive art activities led by local artists and highlight the future capacity of the New Mexico Museum of Art Vladem Contemporary to educate and enrich the youth of Santa Fe. ∙ The Railyard Art Walk Open House on September 27, 2019 from 5 to 7 p.m. will offer an opportunity for the public to speak with the architects and curators involved in this project. Both events are free and will allow the community access to explore this extraordinary addition to Santa Fe and the State of New Mexico’s museum system.
The traveling exhibition, Agnes Pelton: Desert Transcendentalist, on view from October 5, 2019, to January 5, 2020, surveys the works of an artist who made significant contributions within twentieth-century abstraction. Pelton’s work has been associated with Georgia O’Keeffe and Marsden Hartley, and yet remained unrepresented in critical artistic spaces until recently. The exhibition contextualizes Pelton with her peers in the American modernist abstraction movement currently being studied as part of the canon of art history. Find more at http://media.newmexicoculture.org/release/984/agnes-pelton-desert-. Agnes Pelton: Desert Transcendentalist is organized by the Phoenix Art Museum. It is made possible through the generosity of The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts, and SRP.
Curator Christian Waguespack crafts the narrative of Social and Sublime: Land, Place, and Art to stoke conversations that artists have been having for more than one hundred years. The exhibition continues that dialog of expansion, conflict, and wonder, leaving their influence on America’s 21st-century art. The exhibition runs in concert with The Great Unknown: Artists at Glen Canyon and Lake Powell on view from March 30 to September 15, 2019. Together, they present artistic expressions of human experience and change, be it political, technological, or cultural, as it relates to the natural world.

Who We Are
The New Mexico Museum of Art is a catalyst and showcase for creativity and the enjoyment of art. Artists, learners and community members are empowered to think critically and see a multiplicity of meanings. We bring the art of the world to New Mexico and the art of New Mexico to the world. The New Mexico Museum of Art began in 1917 as the Art Gallery for the Museum of New Mexico that was then located in the Palace of the Governors. The building helped establish the Pueblo Spanish Revival architectural style. HOURS All Department of Cultural Affairs museums and historic sites, including the New Mexico Museum of Art, are temporarily closed to the public as a public health precaution due to the COVID-19 (coronavirus). These closures are part of the larger effort by state government to minimize public exposure. Please continue to visit this website for updates and to explore online resources and collections.

Call for Submissions ARTE LATINO NOW 2021 virtual exhibition. Note January 10, 2021 deadline. Please share with your extended network.
How about an update on what's happening (or if anything is happening) at the museum and when it will open? There is nothing updated on the museum page and nothing new on the blog since March.
I need advice on the best source for identifying an artist’s signature. The oil painting was purchased in Santa Fe and dated 1994. It’s a nude. I have a second painting that’s a villagescape by the same artist dated 2002. Does the Museum do this? The signature is obviously not discernible.
Do you have any job openings at the museum?
Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer Visits New Mexico! Watch His Extraordinary Speech Below!
Shalom Friends,
This past week the Jewish community of New Mexico was honored with a visit by the Israeli Ambassador to the United States, His Excellency, Ron Dermer. Ambassador Dermer spoke to our community in the most passionate and intelligent terms about modern day Israel. Everyone in attendance was truly awed by his cogent and heartfelt talk in which he shared much more than a canned speech. He spoke from the heart and shared in a very candid manner, the tachlis, the essence, right now, regarding Israel.
This is especially poignant in our time when there are many competing narratives about Israel, the Palestinians, the Israeli government’s positions on a variety of domestic issues and international relations. Sadly, some segments of the American Jewish community are no longer talking with each other. In addition, the BDS movement, which is nothing but a veil for antisemitism, has misled some members of the Jewish community to become witting and unwitting supporters.
In this environment of fracture, Ambassador Dermer gave a compelling call for unity, and a return to the basic, historical love of Israel that has been a mainstay of Jewish consciousness from time immemorial. His message felt transcendent and timeless.
Ambassador Dermer made an especially profound point: While Zionism is the belief in the right of the Jewish people to express their sovereignty in their ancestral land, being “pro-Israel” is a unique and essential attitude. Namely, when we hear accusations against Israel, if we are pro-Israel, we will not simply assume such claims are true; but, rather, we will believe in the best of Israel, and question the voracity of anti-Israel claims and not simply assume guilt. He honestly asserted that we who support Israel, must at least give Israel the benefit of the doubt. He did not claim Israel is perfect, but realistically pointed out that Israel is a work-in-progress democracy. He reminded us that Israel deserves our loyalty and generous moral support, and that we must be steadfast in nurturing Israel as the only Jewish state in the world.
This was a proud and memorable moment in the history of our New Mexico Jewish community.

And stay tuned for updates about the Jewish Federation of New Mexico’s growing engagement with Israel and our multifaceted mission to Israel now being planned for December 2020!
Am Yisrael Chai!

Is the concert cancelled tonight?
Really enjoyed my visit to the museum today, especially the Agnes Pelton show., which was a real revelation. I was really disappointed, however, that, except for a tiny nonrepresentative print, there were no works by Gustave Baumann on any of the walls. Seems, since the gift shop devotes a large amount of space to Baumann books, calendars, cards, posters, etc. for sale.
Any advice on where to see Baumann’s art while in Santa Fe this week?
Artist Harmony Hammond's survey exhibition "Harmony Hammond: Material Witness, Five Decades of Art, " at the Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum in Ridgefield, CT received a critics pick in today's New York's Time! Congratulations Harmony!
Hammond, a resident of Galisteo, has artwork in the Museum of Art collection and her painting "Buffer", 2011 is currently on view at the Museum. "Duo," 1980, also from our collection, is currently traveling as part of the exhibition, "Art After Stonewall."
Do you sell postcards of some of the paintings?
Your cover photo is spectacular!
