La Virgen de Guadalupe: Photographing a Cultural Icon with Delilah Montoya and Katie Doyle

The Virgin of Guadalupe is a cultural icon with deep roots in Mexican and Chicano communities across the United States and Mexico, among other places. Artists in New Mexico often reference Guadalupe in their work—including Chicana artist Delilah Montoya.  A mixed-media piece, “La Guadalupana,” by Montoya features a large photograph of the Virgin of Guadalupe as tattooed on the back of an incarcerated man. It is one of the many works of art on display at New Mexico Museum of Art's Vladem Contemporary as a part of their “identity” theme in Off-Center. Katie Doyle, assistant curator at the New Mexico Museum of Art, says Montoya's work fits in with Vladem's exhibition because it tells one of many essential stories about the cultural and historical issues that have continued to affect people in New Mexico.  Mentioned in this Episode:  Gloria Anzaldúa on la Virgen de Guadalupe Off-Center: New Mexico Art, 1970-2000 at New Mexico Museum of Art's Vladem Contemporary La Guadalupana by Delilah Montoya Chicano Awareness Center in Omaha, Nebraska Civil Rights Movement in Omaha, Nebraska National Geographic article about DNA and human ancestry *** We'd love to hear from you!

Unordinary for Autumn

The Guest House

Play Episode Listen Later Oct 9, 2024 11:48


It's a bright morning in early autumn, and a few hundred of us are seated on wooden pews in a historic auditorium at the New Mexico Museum of Art. A murmurous sound fills the hall as friends greet each other beneath a painted mural of St. Francis — patron saint of ecology and animals, those who are invisible to the outer world, and this place, Santa Fe, that we call home.Philosopher and poet David Whyte and teacher and author Henry Shukman take their seats on stage. Renowned in their respective fields and acquainted since their pub days, Henry wears slacks and a button-down, while David, in signature black, positions himself center stage.David opens his oratory with such agility and resonance I find myself wondering about the force that calls us to the artistry of our lives. James Baldwin once wrote about the inevitability of his calling: “The terrible thing about being a writer is that you don't decide to become one, you discover that you are one.” To be an artist seems less a choice than a truth to Baldwin, less a vocation than an unbidden command that could sweep the furnishings from your life.David's treatment of the word “unordinary” touches into this truth. He describes it as “what lies beneath my everyday life, like an interior seam of precious metal hidden by layers of my surface ordinariness; something to be uncovered and perhaps at times, even unleashed.”An interior seam of precious metal hidden by layers of my surface ordinariness —Something to be uncovered —even unleashed —A contemplative hush moves through the hall. David's voice rings a bell of intimacy and longing for many of us; it's a knowing nod to the untapped brilliance beneath the surface of our lives.By adulthood, most of us have charted a course. Consciously or otherwise, we have put our rudder in the water. We have tied our knots. And all along this voyage we call adulthood, we must continually tack in the direction we have assigned for ourselves. This is how, as the wide-open estuaries of youth narrow into the channels of midlife, we can lose sight of an intrinsic, irreducible essence within us.Or perhaps we make a choice. Faithfulness to the ordinary can keep us safe and serve us well for a time; it can support values like constancy, integrity, and trustworthiness. It can make us reliable and at least half-decent.Habituating ourselves to the ordinary may work for a while, tidying up the messy surface bits even as intuition whispers from the depths. On the other hand, striving to be extraordinary is exhausting and rooted in insecurity, a cycle of fear on repeat. But to be unordinary is to be liberated from the tensions of the ordinary and the appraisals of the extraordinary. “May what is hidden within you become your gift to the world,” David says.Pursuing an unsatisfactory life is no passive practice, however unprepared we may feel for the risk of something real. It's a bargain against our wholeheartedness—against the undefinable yet knowable essence that, in every moment, is breathing its way into being. Beneath our to-do lists and human dramas, our grasping and avoiding, our busy peddling of wares while forgetting the greater plot, there exists a wakeful, tender, and intelligent wilderness within us.“Dwell as near as possible to the channel in which your life flows,” counseled Henry David Thoreau, understanding that what is hidden within us will always make its way toward the light. Who can't relate to an inner knowing that, if given the chance, would inspire courageous acts of authenticity and influence the creative flow of your life?—Above the pews and beyond the windows from where we sit, the Sangre de Cristo Mountains extend skyward. A pavement project along Hyde Park Road, the only road linking downtown Santa Fe to its nearest peak, has resulted in the mountain being temporarily inaccessible to the public. It's a strange feeling for the humans who live here to be barred from the forests and rivers we know so well. From afar, we watch the face of our mountain as its hues change—first from deepening green to yellow, and now, as if signaling some secret thought, here comes a blush of crimson, cinnamon, and orange.Most days, ordinary is the kind of person I seem to want to be; it's the kind of person I tend to be. But this season, perhaps spurred by the particularities of my human loneliness, I long to be among the aspens with their shimmering sweep of drying leaves, each tree part of a singular organism that eats light and sends messages through tangled roots beneath the forest floor. Every day, on my way to wherever I'm going, I look toward the mountain and wonder, spared from the human gaze, what is happening beneath the veil of its exterior.The bear who lumbered from the deep woods at the bend in Borrego last Spring — is she feasting on trout before the river freezes? I imagine black stones sighing into river beds and afternoons casting long, warm shadows across untrammeled trails. Un-startled deer walking over fallen leaves and needles, their delicate nervous systems rebalancing. Furred creatures foraging for seeds, nuts, and berries among the underbrush. Oyster mushrooms growing in happy clumps on the underside of composting trees. And birds testing their wings for long flight.I imagine a kingdom, unburdened for a time, awakening to itself in a thousand brilliant ways.“At no other time (than autumn) does the earth let itself be inhaled in one smell, the ripe earth; in a smell that is in no way inferior to the smell of the sea, bitter where it borders on taste, and more honeysweet where you feel it touching the first sounds. Containing depth within itself, darkness, something of the grave almost.”― Rainer Maria RilkeEach season reflects a facet of nature's wisdom and offers us a mirror to reimagine our own experience of aliveness. In autumn, we touch inevitability, learning to bring forth the fruit that is ours, to surrender our leafy adornments. Loneliness and grief may be our teachers; this meditation may be bittersweet, but it will be wholly ours to claim.Backlit by an image of St. Francis, Henry's voice stirs the air with an invitation:Let the quiet come —Let the quiet come like a tide —Let the quiet come like a tide you've been waiting for your whole life.Invitation for reflection: What does it mean to you to “let the quiet come”? What unordinary awareness is making itself known through you as the season deepens? What thoughts, beliefs, habits, and behaviors must you let go of to make room for to integrate revelation, and what must you invite in?Together, we are making sense of being human in an era of radical change.

If you've ever been to a Sinclair gas station and see the green dinosaur out front, paleontologist Tony Fiorillo says it's a fair approximation of New Mexico's Alamosaurus—which was first discovered in New Mexico more than one hundred years ago. Not only is the Alamosaurus a “New Mexican icon,” as Fiorillo says, but it's also the only dinosaur discovered in North America so far that appears to have migrated from South America. In addition to his work as a researcher and paleontologist, Dr. Tony Fiorillo is the executive director of the New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science. His career has covered several continents largely to study dinosaurs and the environments in which they lived. For more than two decades, Fiorillo focused on the Cretaceous of Alaska. There, his teams made significant advances in the understanding of ancient Arctic biodiversity and paleoecosystems as a way of understanding future climates. In this episode, Fiorillo joins Encounter Culture host Emily Withnall in a conversation about arctic dinosaurs, what 19th-century scientists understood about the first dinosaurs they found, and how dinosaurs can provide insight for what's in store for humans.  MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science https://www.nmnaturalhistory.org/  Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins dinosaur sculptures at Crystal Palace https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/crystal-palace-dinosaurs.html  Dinosaurs at Denali National Park https://www.nps.gov/dena/learn/nature/fossils.htm   We'd love to hear from you!

What would it be like to see a symphony? How can you capture the rhythm of waves or a murmuration in constellations of light? If anyone can offer a visual representation of multi-sensory experiences, multimedia artist Leo Villareal can. As Villareal shares in his conversation with Encounter Culture host, Emily Withnall, “I think of my tools more like instruments in a way. And I'm making kind of visual music.” Leo Villareal is a world-renowned artist with roots in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and in El Paso and Marfa, Texas. He currently lives in Brooklyn where he owns a gallery and oversees a team of artists, engineers, and programmers. His light sculptures can be seen in galleries in Geneva, London, Hong Kong, San Francisco, Madrid, Washington, D.C., Beijing, Amsterdam, New York, and San Antonio—to name a few. Among Villareal's newest light sculptures is Astral Array, an installation on view permanently in the outdoor breezeway to New Mexico Museum of Art's new Vladem Contemporary location in the Santa Fe Railyard. Villareal draws inspiration from the natural world, from Indigenous weaving, and from computer coding and programming. Despite the sometimes-impermanent nature of his installations, many of which are site- and time-specific, he appreciates the cycle of creation and dismantling inherent to his work and to the ways in which his continued experiments with light are visible to all.  MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE New Mexico Museum of Art Vladem Contemporary Illuminated River: A Public Art Commission Visit https://newmexicoculture.org for info about our museums, historic sites, virtual tours, and more.

[TRANSCRIPT] [click, static] There's a saying about bad habits. Or maybe it's just habits. Habits die hard. Bad habits die doubly hard, I guess.  Although maybe I shouldn't be considering it a habit—it is what I did for a living. And is it really bad now? I don't think so.  I stole a painting. That's what I'm trying to say. Just the one. Because I could. Because I wanted to.  “Santa Fe Mountains in October” by some Pearson guy. I've already forgotten his first name. Maybe I should've taken the placard too.  It was the New Mexico Museum of Art - nice place. Harry's favorite, as it happens. I don't know how she would've gone through the museum, what she would've paid attention to. We'd probably still be inside, to be honest. I have no doubt that she could spend hours and hours and hours inside an art museum.  Isn't that funny? That Harry and I have never been to a museum together? I mean, not to actually go to the museum. We've been in plenty museums and galleries before, after hours, illegally, taking stuff. And she'd make a comment here or there about a piece of art—not even the stuff we were taking, though that she'd always give a lecture on on the way there or after the job. Why it was important, how much it could really be worth, why it had to be transported the way it did. But she never tried to fence anything herself. I don't know why. She could've moved to that part of the whole process and made just as much money—maybe more—and would never had to have left her home. She could've been like Francis, living amongst her own art, working with Pete and me to get what we stole to wherever it would fetch the highest price.  But she didn't. She wanted in on the action. She wanted to take the art, wanted to be there as we broke in, wanted to run down the clock as she carefully stored each work of art for transport while the rest of us stood lookout, terrified that we were always seconds away from being caught.  I think she liked the risk too, is what I'm saying. I think she liked it just as much as me, or she would've made a living doing a million other things.  I don't know what happened to take her from the woman I knew, the woman who's eyes would light up any time we were taking on a job that had new complications we had to solve to the woman who refused to venture into a world with no one in it.

While the United States boasts incredible geology from coast to coast, Dr. Larry Crumpler says it's relatively silent. But New Mexico is different. “Here, it's just babbling away, and all you have to do is understand what it's saying. It turns out to be totally shocking and amazing most of the time.” Encounter Culture host Charlotte Jusinski invited Larry Crumpler and Jayne Aubele, two geologists working with the New Mexico Museum of Natural History & Science, to lead a virtual expedition through eons of the state's geologic history.

In the Summer of 2023, the New Mexico Museum of Art will open its highly anticipated exhibition space, Vladem Contemporary, in Santa Fe's Railyard District. There's a LEED-certified farmer's market building, retail and entertainment options, and ample green space to enjoy. As changes continue, so do debates about the area's rapid gentrification. The Vladem enters this chat as a modern complement to the NMMA's historic location on the Plaza, featuring established and emerging contemporary artists. Most importantly, the space will deepen conversations between the institution and community regarding New Mexico's multicultural artistic heritage.  Encounter Culture host Charlotte Jusinski spoke with Katie Doyle, assistant curator at the New Mexico Museum of Art, and Cristina González, an artist whose work will adorn the Window Box gallery, an exterior-facing exhibition space at the corner of Montezuma Avenue and Guadalupe Street. The trio discuss what it means for NMMA to set up in the Railyard, what folks can expect from Vladem, and the ever-evolving nature of public art. CORRECTION: The neighborhood around Santa Fe's Railyard was called the Barrio de Guadalupe, not the Barrio Analco, as mentioned in this episode.

Word nerds and punctuation perfectionists rejoice! Encounter Culture host Charlotte Jusinski ends the season in grand, grammatically correct fashion with Dr. Maggie DePond, exhibition copy editor for the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs. Maggie also lends her talents to El Palacio magazine, casting a last, learned glance over every issue before it goes live.  The pair geek out over the intricacies of language, style guide rivalries, and challenges associated with distilling eons of information into 100-word captions. Buckle in for syntax shenanigans, a touch of ASMR, and permission to end sentences with a preposition. Ever wondered who edits all the text accompanying every exhibition in the four state museums of Santa Fe (the New Mexico Museum of Art, the Museum of International Folk Art, the New Mexico History Museum, and the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture)?  The answer is Dr. Maggie DePond. The work, which is often tedious, requires a tenacious character and plenty of red pencils.  For all its old-fashioned aspects, copy editing is a revolutionary profession. Who else but a copy editor could refer to medieval usage of the singular “they/them” to support our modern personal pronoun debate? “I feel that by doing that,” Maggie says, “I'm also teaching other writers what language is, the spectrum of language, and how language can evoke feelings.” And, by extension, every lucky museum goer in the state.

All Roads Lead to Chocolate: Origins of Cacao in Chaco Canyon with Dr. Patricia Crown and Jay Shapiro

Is there a food more universally loved than chocolate? No other ingredient lends itself to savory, sweet, and even alcoholic applications, tempting folks in everything from molten cakes to moles to Martinis.  Chocolate—or, more specifically, cacao—has been processed and consumed in Mesoamerica for millennia. In Chocolate: The Exhibition, which opens on June 17 at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science and is brought to us from Chicago's Field Museum, audiences are invited to explore chocolate's worldwide significance and learn how it spread to all corners of the human experience.  Encounter Culture host Charlotte Jusinski takes the local angle. She and her guests delve into the Ancestral Puebloan's connection to the non-native cacao bean, charting its arrival and usage by way of the unique cylindrical jars discovered at Chaco Canyon––with renowned scholar Dr. Patricia Crown and retired archaeologist Jay Shapiro. Chocolate at Chaco Canyon is a mystery that remained hidden in plain sight for decades until Dr. Crown began piecing the clues together, starting with the uniquely decorated jars stored among artifacts at the Museum of Northern Arizona. “I wasn't sure why I was so interested,” she recalls, but the intrigue prompted her to consult a colleague who specialized in similar pottery found in Mayan civilization. When told that the Mayans drank cacao from the cylindrical vessels, Patricia assumed her colleague had conducted organic residue studies to reach that conclusion. Instead, her colleague had simply read the hieroglyphics. “It says: this jar is used for drinking chocolate,” laughs Patricia.  So how did drinking chocolate end up in Chaco Canyon, a locale inhospitable to the cultivation of the cacao tree? Three possibilities pique the professionals' curiosity: people from the south traveled north with cacao; people from the north ventured south, then returned with cacao; or cacao moving from hand to hand, village to village, eventually reaching Chaco Canyon.  “That's the conundrum with archeology. We don't know everything,” admits Jay. “We know some things, and some things may simply not be discernible from the archeological record, and how cacao got to Chaco may, unfortunately, be one of those things.” Even without a definitive origins story, it's fascinating to imagine native civilizations throughout the Southwest encountering cacao for the first time, then adopting drinking chocolate for use in their ceremonies, as a therapeutic medicine, and even as a form of liquid courage.  Chocolate: The Exhibition opens on June 17 at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science.

In a fitting close to Encounter Culture's inaugural season, host Charlotte Jusinski returns to where it began. The New Mexico Museum of Art's exhibition Southwest Rising: Contemporary Art and the Legacy of Elaine Horwitch celebrates the woman responsible for launching this region's contemporary art movement into the stratosphere. Joining Charlotte to dish on the legendary gallery owner's influence are Dr. Julie Sasse, Chief Curator at the Tucson Museum of Art and author of the book that informed the original exhibition at TMA, and Christian Waguespack, Curator of 20th-century art at the New Mexico Museum of Art, who reconceived the idea for MOA using works from its permanent collection.  “She was totally confident, totally unabashed,” recalls Julie. “She showed what she liked, and she liked boldness. She liked color. She liked precision painters. But she also liked abstraction. She had no problem showing Filipe Archuleta next to a Paul Jenkins, or a famous artist next to an emerging artist.” No one is in a better position to evaluate the Horwitch's magic than the woman who spent 14 formative years by the impresario's side, attending every party, documenting each sale, and cataloguing the impossibly vibrant collection for which the gallery owner was renowned.  Horwitch opened her first gallery in Scottsdale in 1973. By 1976, she had an outpost in Santa Fe, followed swiftly by Sedona, then Palm Springs. Her rise was meteoric, as were the careers of the artists she championed.  Although she fostered a summer camp and cocktails vibe, the art always came first. She displayed a shrewd business acumen and an impeccable ability to predict the “next big thing” coming out of the Southwest Pop scene in the 1970s and 80s. Horwitch was well-known for her support of female and indigenous artists––creators who didn't often receive the same recognition (or fees) outside her gallery. “It wasn't about your name. It wasn't about your pedigree,” says Christian. “It was about what you were producing and that merit, your merit as an artist. I think that that changed the game for a lot of gallerists and curators working here in the Southwest.” For MOA's interpretation of Southwest Rising, Christian made great use of the museum's light-filled top floor gallery, creating an immersive experience that pays homage to Horwitch's passion for contemporary Southwestern artistry and unabashed showmanship. The exhibit is also something of a tribute to Julie's meticulous original narrative. “This work on this project has gotten me excited,” he says. “This is a time period and artistic moment that really needs some more digging into, and Julie has given that to us.” Southwest Rising: Contemporary Art and the Legacy of Elaine Horwitch is on view at the New Mexico Museum of Art through January 2nd, 2022. Plan your visit to the New Mexico Museum of Art.  The beautiful book Southwest Rising: Contemporary Art and the Legacy of Elaine Horwitch, written by Dr. Julie Sasse, is co-published by Cattle Track Arts & Preservation and the Tucson Museum of Art.

Breath. Prior to 2020, most people didn't give the complex, involuntary act of breathing much thought. Times have changed. So, too, has the lens through which both audiences and artists view Breath Taking, a new exhibit at the New Mexico Museum of Art. Encounter Culture host Charlotte Jusinski, the editor of El Palacio magazine, welcomes Kate Ware, her co-host for this inaugural episode and curator of photography at the New Mexico Museum of Art, and artist Cynthia Greig to the conversation.  Cynthia, Kate, and Charlotte discuss Cynthia's video and photographic experiments, works that explore the shimmering intimacy and fragility of breathing in a world grappling with a respiratory virus. Afterward, Kate shares a behind-the-scenes look at what happens when a curator finalizes an entire exhibition only to pivot that original concept in the wake of a pandemic and the social justice impact resonating from the phrase “I can't breathe.” Breath Taking is an inadvertently timely exhibit featuring contemporary artists and the inventive ways they've discovered to express the fundamental and elusive act of breathing. In many ways, every breath now carries with it an ominous undertone. Breath is front-page news, leading stories from politics to protests. Through it all, breathing remains “this human act that unifies us,” says Kate. We all do it––and none of us know when we'll breathe our last.  “I know everything's sort of transformed the interpretation and significance of breath to a different level since the virus is transmitted through the exhalations that we have and share,” says Cynthia. The 54 photos that make up her contribution to the exhibition reveal the individuality of this life-giving force. Each image, captured on a flatbed scanner, is an imprint of the person releasing it, as unique as a snowflake. This breathscape envelopes visitors in an ethereal cosmos, forcing them to consider breath differently than they might have two years ago. While the original plan for Breath Taking was conceived before the concept of breath exploded in the zeitgeist, Kate moved swiftly to capture the immediacy of this moment. The result is a cohesive and well-done exhibit, offering audiences a space to contemplate and to process all that's happened in the last 16 months. *** Breath Taking is on view at the New Mexico Museum of Art through September 5th, 2021.

A visitor favorite at The Corning Museum of Glass is her Forest Glass, a large-scale installation comprised of found glass arranged to create the illusion of trees. Whether celebrating a prosaic material through installations or her Iridescent Entities, stylized hearths and campfires, or clouds and orbs, Gray forces us to appreciate glass anew.  She says: “I use a material that we don’t generally see. It is often flawlessly clear and colorless, hence invisible in that regard, but it can also be so ubiquitous and banal that it does not register in our psyches either. It is a material that allows us unparalleled connectivity (via smart phones and fibre optics) yet also serves to separate us. To my mind, these two polarities are what set this material apart from so many others, and one of the reasons that I feel compelled to keep working with it as an artistic medium. It is both present and absent, known and unknown, and vacillating between a state of mundane familiarity and otherworldly perfection.” In Heller Gallery’s 2020 exhibition, Radiant Mirage, Gray turned her considerable glass-making skills to creating objects that served two purposes: to bring beauty into a dire moment in the world, and to express her frustration over the loss of our collective sense of security and well-being. The common thread was her use of iridescence, an optical phenomenon seen in nature and inspired by unearthed ancient glass. Like natural phenomena that are caused by the refraction of light, Gray’s Entities and Tubes emphasized the elusiveness and shiftiness of iridized objects and projected an ephemeral shape and play of color our eye does not fully grasp. Educated at the Ontario College of Art and the Rhode Island School of Design, Gray serves as the Resident Evaluator on Seasons 1 and 2 of Netflix’s reality TV show Blown Away.  Her works are held in the permanent collections of public institutions including the Toledo Museum of Art, Toledo, OH; Corning Museum of Glass, Corning, NY; Museum of American Glass, Wheaton, NJ; the Museum of Glass, Tacoma, WA; New Mexico Museum of Art, Santa Fe, NM; and Toyama City Institute of Glass Art, Toyama, Japan. Reviewed in the New York Observer, Artforum, and the Los Angeles Times, Gray has been nominated for the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award, and has garnered many accolades including the Award of Merit from the Bellevue Art Museum in Washington.  In addition to making work, Gray has written about glass, curated and juried multiple exhibitions, and has taught workshops around the world. In 2017, she received the Libenský/Brychtová Award from the Pilchuck Glass School for her artistic and educational contributions to the field. She was also honored as a Fellow of the American Craft Council (ACC), a national nonprofit dedicated to advancing American craft. To be named a fellow, an artist must demonstrate leadership in the field, outstanding ability as an artist and/or teacher, and 25 years or more of professional achievement as an American craftsperson. Currently, Gray lives in Los Angeles where she is a professor of art at California State University, San Bernardino. To Gray, glass is a material of both otherworldly perfection and mundane familiarity. She says: “I’m trying to play off of polarities between usage of material and the sphere it exists in, who makes it, who uses it, who values it, and trying to point out some of the inequalities.”

Dianne Bos does not look at her life linearly. At every opportunity she is open to learning and challenging her perception about the world around her. Speaking with Dianne was electric – she loops ideas and processes together seamlessly with a healthy dose of enthusiasm. Knowing that Dianne defines herself as an Artist and that she does not limit herself to only one method of creation makes understanding her enthusiasm and varied career easier. In speaking with Dianne, I learnt how creativity is something that can be seen as fluid and fed by connection to the world around you. By staying open to experimentation, questioning and a continued sense of play – we are able to continue to push the limits of our own creativity. And in my opinion, pushing boundaries is the premise of a creative practice so that we can learn, grow and change. Dianne’s recently updated website is at…. https://diannebos.ca/ Biography… Dianne Bos was born in 1956 in Hamilton, Ontario, and grew up in Dundas where she happily explored the Niagara Escarpment. Always interested in art and science, she studied Fine Arts at Mount Allison University. There she developed an interest in photography through sculpture and science, by creating her own cameras. That interest has continued to this day.  Many of Bos’s recent exhibitions feature handmade cameras, walk-in light installations, and sound pieces. These tools and devices formulate and extend her investigations of journeying, time, and the science of light. This work appeared in the traveling exhibits; Poetics of Light: Pinhole Photography, New Mexico Museum, Seeing, Science Gallery, Dublin Ireland. ‘See the Stars,’ a multi-aperture tent installation created for the ‘Midnight Sun Camera Obscura Festival’ in Dawson City, Yukon and Star Shed at McMaster Museum in Hamilton.

One of the originators of the Western Pop Art movement, Billy Schenck incorporates techniques from Photorealism with a Pop Art sensibility to both exalt and poke fun at images of the West. Schenck is known for utilizing cinematic imagery reproduced in a flattened, reductivist style, where colors are displayed side-by-side rather than blended or shadowed. In the August 2014 issue of SouthwestArt magazine, his work was described as “a stance … a pendulum between the romantic and the irreverent.” Schenck’s artwork is now in 48 museum collections, including Smithsonian Institution, Denver Art Museum, The Autry Museum of Western Heritage, Booth Western Art Museum, Tucson Museum of Art, Phoenix Art Museum, the Mesa Southwest Museum, Museum of the Southwest, Midland TX, Albuquerque Fine Arts Museum and the New Mexico Museum of Art. Private collections include the estate of Malcolm Forbes, Laurance Rockefeller, the estate of Fritz Scholder, and Sylvester Stallone. Corporate collections include American Airlines, IBM, Sony, and Saatchi & Saatchi. With over 100 solo shows in the U.S. and Europe, career highlights include the Denver Art Museum’s 2011 Western Horizons, the 2013 Utah Museum of Fine Art’s exhibit Bierstadt to Warhol: American Indians in the West, and Masters of the American West Fine Art Exhibition, at the Autry National Center in Los Angeles.

How to Debunk a Conspiracy Theory

Conspiracy theories are unavoidable when your Museum deals with topics in science, but this week’s guest, Tony Gondola, outreach coordinator for the New Mexico Museum of Space History, has some good advice on how to debunk these unsound ideas. Gondola also explains how the people who formulate conspiracies profit from those who fall for them. In dealing with Moon landing science, Gondola also has experience with other theories. “Right now, flat Earth stuff is everywhere,” he says. “All claims of hoaxsters are easy to debunk because they usually don’t go too deep into the science.” Conspiracy theories have become increasingly popular these past few years because common objections to the Moon landing stem from a distrust of authority, the government, and science. Gondola describes why it’s so important to counter these ideas. “We can’t deny this great historical event,” he says. What the astronauts did on the Moon does, in fact, include some science, although science was not the primary objective. The Apollo 11 astronauts left behind experiments like a laser reflector that still functions to this day. Gondola gets questions every day that are not necessarily accusatory but definitely uninformed, and he suggests that the best way to counter conspiracy theories not by flat out telling someone they’re wrong, but instead gently leading them to think about the science. And by all means, do not refer people to YouTube! “YouTube is a big part of the problem,” Gondola says. Content creators promoting conspiracy theories stand to gain from book deals, video views, and subscribers. Ultimately, Gondola argues, conspiracy theories happen when people believe what they experience from limited human perception and gain validation from outside sources; but, by using science as a way to move beyond limited perceptions, people can conduct simple experiments and research that reveal scientific truths. Follow in the footsteps of the Apollo 11 astronauts when our APOLLO exhibit re-opens in November!

In July, David Richard Gallery in Santa Fe will host “ReViewing PowerPlay,” a series of work created in the 1980's examining the construct of masculinity. When Judy began this series, she went to the library to research gender; the only material available then was entirely focused on women, as if only women have gender. It would be another decade before Women’s Studies evolved into Gender Studies and Queer Studies emerged, which created a new context for PowerPlay. Judy is thrilled that the catalog essay will be written by Dr. Jonathan Katz, director of the Visual Studies Doctoral Program at SUNY Buffalo, president of the Board of Directors of the Leslie/Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art in New York, and co-curator of the recent (and controversial) exhibition “Hide/Seek: Difference and Desire in American Portraiture," which premiered at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., where it created quite a stir. In conjunction with the PowerPlay exhibition, Jonathan and Judy will hold a public conversation on Saturday, July 7th, at 3PM at the New Mexico Museum of Art in Santa Fe. When Jonathan and Judy first discussed the possibility of his writing for the catalog (because, as she told him, he was the perfect person for the job), he told me that even though he thought he was familiar with my work, he knew nothing at all about PowerPlay. When he perused the material, he commented that the series seemed both prescient and powerful, perhaps because it anticipated some of the theories about performing masculinity that would emerge from queer studies.
