In recognition of this important political season, we offer these works as inspiration of our citizen’s rights and responsibilities.

The Robert Heinecken Memorial Lecture Series is pleased to announce the first visiting artist of the 2008-2009 academic year. Please join us on Tuesday, November 18th at 5pm in Mitchell Hall room 122 for a presentation by the artist Jason Salavon.

Jason Salavon works around art, information technology, and daily life. Using software processes of his own design, Jason Salavon generates and reconfigures masses of communal material to present new perspectives on the familiar. Though formally varied, his projects frequently manipulate the roles of individual elements arranged in diverse visual populations. This often unearths unexpected patterns as the relationship between the part and the whole, the individual and the group, is explored. Reflecting a natural attraction to popular culture and the day-to-day, his work regularly incorporates the use of common references and source material. The final compositions are exhibited as art objects, such as photographic prints and video installations, while others exist in a real-time software context.

Chicago Moderns: Raymond Jonson and Friends, 1910-1923 presents Jonson’s early works in Chicago alongside those of his colleagues. Our summer exhibition will be on display at the Jonson Gallery from June 10 through August 22, 2008. Exquisite etchings by Blanding Sloan and B.J.O. Nordfeldt, early ventures into natural abstraction by Pruscheck and (rarely exhibited) lush and sensitive portraits by Jonson look back to modernism’s beginnings.

Raymond Jonson arrived in Chicago from Portland, Oregon on August 28, 1910 to pursue a career as a commercial illustrator. He was nineteen, young and naïve but fully aware of his potential to be a great artist. He didn’t know it but Chicago was then on the verge of a cultural renaissance. Stimulated by the seminal 1913 Armory Show, he soon found camaraderie with other artists such as Pruscheck, Nordfeldt, and Sloan, all of whom were inspired by a new awareness of art’s possibilities. Chicago Moderns illustrates Jonson’s and his contemporaries early experiments completed in Chicago between 1910 and 1923, before he moved permanently to New Mexico.

The Jonson Gallery is located on the main campus of UNM at 1909 Las Lomas NE, Albuquerque. Gallery hours are Tuesday through Friday 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. and by appointment. Admission is free and open to the public. Please call 277-4967, email us at jonsong@unm.edu, or visit our website at www.unm.edu/~jonsong for more details.

For the Greater Good: New Deal Art in New Mexico, 1933-1943

February 26 - May 25, 2008

In celebration of the 75th Anniversary of the New Deal, the UNM Art Museum presents a major selection of artworks produced by New Mexico artists from 1933 to 1943 under the auspices of the various Federal New Deal art programs. The New Deal was established by President Franklin Roosevelt in 1933 to support American workers, including hundreds of artists, who were paid a living wage to produce murals, easel paintings, prints, sculptures, weavings, pottery, wood carvings, stage plays, musical scores, and some of the best written works of the period. For the first time in American history, artists were recognized as productive workers and valued for what they did. Every state had its representative artists and, because of its already established art culture, New Mexico was one of the most productive, its artists forging one of the richest legacies during the New Deal era.

Exhibition artists include: Willard Nash, Raymond Jonson, Gene Kloss, Kenneth Adams, Dorothy Morang, Howard A. Barton, Charles Barrow, José Dolores López, James Morris, Walter Ufer, B.J.O. Nordfeldt, Edna Pierce, Polia Pillin, Brooks Willis, Joseph Imhoff, Juanita Lantz, Santiago Matta, Willard Everingham, Blanca Will, Russell Lee, Lloyd Moylan and Victor Higgins.

Through May 11, 2008 Chamber Music 4: Filtered Light
An Installation by Steve Peters

As part of UNM’s 36th Annual John Donald Robb Composers’ Symposium, Seattle-based artist Steve Peters created this four-channel sound installation entitled Chamber Music 4: Filtered Light. Chamber Music is an ongoing series of site-specific sound works derived from field recordings made in buildings when no people are present. These recordings of "silent" room tone are filtered to extract subtle resonant frequencies from the spectrum of (very quiet) broadband noise. In this case, an hour-long stereo recording was made during off hours in the Study Gallery of the UNM Art Museum.

By Noah Hailde, Directed by Steve Pinzone

Mr. Marmalade, by Noah Hailde, is a sly, darkly comic look at the effects of divorce and too much television, on a precocious four year old, who, ignored by her mother, turns to her imaginary friend, Mr. Marmalade, who is too busy to play. Mr. Marmalade’s personal assistant is there, however, to compensate. Adult situations and language.

Mr. Marmalade plays in repertory with Migdalia Cruz’ Fur.

Real-Time Rendering and Interactivity in 'Fulldome' Immersive Digital Dome Theater: An Introduction, Demonstration and Discussion of UNM Research Projects and Goals by David Beining, UNM ARTS Lab

Large-format, immersive digital dome theater--fulldome--is a young powerful medium with a high rate of diffusion in planetariums and other venues. It's also a medium in which UNM is an internationally recognized center for research, production and education.

Based in tiled projectors and PC clusters, fulldome theaters allow for very high-resolution, immersive digital video presentation -- pre-rendered for linear cinematic experiences as well as real-time interactive presentations based on 3D models, data tables, and adapted game engines and shaders used in proprietary, open-architecture fulldome software.

The medium's origins in planetariums has largely limited tools, data and stories to astronomy, but fulldome has enormous potential for visualizing other sciences for research and education, serving the arts as new creative and performance space, and entertainment as immersive gaming and experiential venue.

The author will demonstrate the medium's tools and current uses as well as UNM-based early research. New UNM research agendas and possibilities for future work will also be discussed.

GALLERY TALK

Dr. Tey Marianna Nunn (Visual Arts Director at the National Hispanic Cultural Center) Guest speaker Tey Marianna Nunn will focus her talk on hispanic artists of New Mexico during the New Deal era.

Exhibition Description:
For the Greater Good
New Deal Art in New Mexico, 1933-1943
February 26 - May 25, 2008


In celebration of the 75th Anniversary of the New Deal, the UNM Art Museum presents a major selection of artworks produced by New Mexico artists from 1933 to 1943 under the auspices of the various Federal New Deal art programs. The New Deal was established by President Franklin Roosevelt in 1933 to support American workers, including hundreds of artists, who were paid a living wage to produce murals, easel paintings, prints, sculptures, weavings, pottery, wood carvings, stage plays, musical scores, and some of the best written works of the period. For the first time in American history, artists were recognized as productive workers and valued for what they did. Every state had its representative artists and, because of its already established art culture, New Mexico was one of the most productive, its artists forging one of the richest legacies during the New Deal era.

Exhibition artists include: Willard Nash, Raymond Jonson, Gene Kloss, Kenneth Adams, Dorothy Morang, Howard A. Barton, James Morris, B.J.O. Nordfeldt, Polia Pillin, Santiago Matta, Blanca Will, Russell Lee, Lloyd Moylan, Pablita Velarde, John Collier Jr., Patrocino Barela, Maria and Julian Martinez, Dorothea Lang and Victor Higgins.

Preceding the conference is a new one day summit on Friday, January 11th from 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM, inviting leaders from New Mexico's media business, government, education, research and other organizations — and special guests from outside, gathering to develop plans and proposals to build on the success of Governor Richardson's initiatives in film and media.

For more information visit the MI4NMF page: http://artslab.unm.edu/newsevents/MI4NMF.htm

First, all day Thursday, students will have their new games on display for the CS/ECE 433 Video Game Competition.

THE DRM GAME

Digital Rights Management (DRM), the control, tracking, and pay structure for distribution of digital media from music to movies, TV shows and games, is a hot-button issue for students, business people, and the creators of content alike (among other things, it's closely related to the ongoing WGA writers strike). How do media companies enforce restrictions on download and distribution of music and movies? Why have Apple's iTunes and the group Radiohead achieved such success? Join us at the ARTS Lab Garage this Friday when ECE Professor Greg Heileman leads the audience through a game that simulates the DRM decision-making process to show which activities work for media companies, and which behaviors will likely lead to prosecution.

WHEN: Friday 12/7: 2:00 - 4:00 PM

Tricklock Company returns to the Albuquerque stage after a highly-successful international tour with its latest creation, Belladonna. Belladonna is a beautiful but naive young woman whose scientist father has just invented a potion that brings ultimate power to the drinker. After witnessing her father’s kidnapping by a cruel and merciless dictator who wants the power for his own, Belladonna finds herself crippled by the Curse of the Four Witches Tongues, making her only able to speak in the lyrics of four female rockstars of the1980’s. Accompanied by her loyal but suffocating sidekick, Belladonna embarks on a journey to rescue her father. Along the way, in a gritty, volatile rock n’ roll bar, she accidentally crashes into her One True Love and tries to convince him to help her. In the end, will she choose to make a horrible sacrifice in order to save the world? If only she could speak in her own words…

The University Libraries and DILARES are pleased to present, “Drawing the Body: Memory, Mimesis, and the Florence Academy.” The exhibition of Professor Kathleen Keating’s recent works, produced while training at the Florence Academy of Art in 2004, will be held in the Herzstein Latin American Reading Room at the Zimmerman Library, from November 12, 2007 to January 25, 2008.

The exhibition is curated by Roland Rodríguez, a Masters candidate from UNM’s Department of Art and Art History. Rodríguez is the 2007-2008 recipient of the first-ever CHIPOTLE Fellowship.

Kathleen Keating’s drawings demonstrate not only the technique that she learned while training at the Florence Academy, but also provide an excellent example of the curriculum taught, and materials employed, through the Brague-Gérôme design course in late nineteenth-century French art and design schools. The Florence Academy of Art continues this method of instruction, emphasizing a progression in drawing, developed from the precise copying of antique engravings, then plaster casts, and finally, the live, nude model. Keating’s work, mostly charcoal on colored paper, marked a return to the European ‘academic’ tradition of drawing the body. As an artist, she pursued a course of training that places an emphasis on line, tonal value, memory, and precision in rendering the human form.

Additionally, the exhibition’s explanatory texts will note the correspondences with academies of art and methods of drawing instruction utilized in Latin America during the same time period.

A reception for the opening of the exhibition will be held from 3:30 to 5:30 on November 12, 2007 in the Herzstein Latin American Reading Room’s conference room at the Zimmerman Library.

Luke Batten will lecture on the work of Robert Heinecken

Luke Batten, born 1968 in Santa Maria, California, received his MFA at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and is currently an Assistant Professor in the School of Art and Design at the University of Illinois.

Robert Heinecken was born in Denver, Colorado on October 29, 1931. Received both his BA and MA from the University of California at Los Angles. In 1964 he founded the graduate program for photography at UCLA and retired in 1991.

Throughout his career, Robert Heinecken redefined the role of photographer and perceptions of photography as an art medium. He produced numerous works that manipulated and recontextualized mass media imagery in order to understand how this imagery, mainly photographic, works on and through our imaginations.

He was a member of the Board of Trustees of The Friends of Photography and a chairman of the Society for Photographic Education. His numerous awards and grants include Guggenheim Fellowship (1976), a National Endowment for the Arts Individual Artists Grant (1977, 1981, 1986), and Polaroid Corporation grants to use 20×24 and 40×80 cameras (1984, 1985, 1988).

Robert Heinecken has had over sixty one-person shows including the Center for Creative Photography, University of Arizona, Tucson, and a 35-year retrospective exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago in 1998.

Catherine Saiki: Artist Talk + Artist as Curator
October 10, 2007
5:00 PM
Room 1020, Center for the Arts, Albuquerque campus

Catherine Saiki maintains her studio practice in Oakland, California. Born in New Mexico in 1972, Saiki completed her undergraduate studies at Scripps College in Claremont, California, and earned her MFA in painting at the San Francisco Art Institute. Her work has been exhibited in San Francisco, Miami, New York and London.

Saiki will discuss her work and the shifts it has undergone at various phases in her professional career including graduate school namely the introduction of representational elements into previously abstract compositions. "Central to my work is an investigation of the material objects (signifiers) we use to express and explore identity. How do we assert an affiliation with a subculture, class, or gender, for example? I am interested in the irony and humor involved in the use of mass-produced objects to manifest what is ultimately a unique notion of self."

She will also address her interest in the role of artist as curator. This form of grassroots curating often brings forth artwork that might otherwise go unseen, and it can enable a curator to put together exhibitions that move beyond gallery walls and operate politically within a community. Saiki is the Curator for the biennial exhibitions affiliated with the University of California and the California Breast Cancer Research Program. She also curates at local venues, working with Bay Area artists.

Saiki will also talk about her experiences at the CUE Art Foundation, where she was recently awarded a two-month painting residency in New York City.

The Water Engine: An American Fable
By David Mamet
Directed by Paul Ford

The Water Engine is aptly described as an American fable. Set in 1934 against the background of the Chicago Century of Progress World’s fair, inventor Charles Lang has made an incredible discovery. He has designed an engine fuelled solely by distilled water, which will revolutionize industry forever. He soon discovers that progress comes at a sinister price. Originally written as a radio play, Mamet adapted it for stage in 1977, creating a tense and darkly comic noir thriller in which one man’s dreams are pitted against big business.

GALE MEMORIAL LECTURE SERIES
ART AND ART HISTORY & IFDM
presents for one night only!

Barbara Hammer will be screening her documentaty Resisting Paradise (90 min.) that juxtaposes the lives of painters Henri Matisse and Pierre Bonnard during World War II with those of several French Resistance fighters who are still alive. A profound work that asks : "Can art exist during a time of political crisis and war?"

Barbara Hammer is an internationally recognized film artist who has made 80 films/videos for which she has received many international awards including the prestigious Frameline Award for making a significant contribution to lesbian and gay cinema. She has been featured in several Whitney Biennials and received a Creative Capital grant for Resisting Paradise. "Hammer's intense productivity places her on the scale of Brakhage or Warhol as a major force in the independent cinema; Hammer neatly inverts the patriarchal forces implicitly and often "invisibly" at work in independent cinema practice."

“Connecting the Arts, Humanities and Social Conscience”

Keynote address-performance by Guillermo Gómez-Peña
Performance Artist, Author, Cultural Critic

2 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 1, in Rodey Theatre Center for the Arts

This symposium is jointly sponsored by the College of Fine Arts, the College of Arts and Sciences, and the University Libraries, as part of a series of symposia leading up to the installation of David Schmidly as UNM’s 20th President.

The symposium features Guillermo Gomez-Peña, director and founder of La Pocha Nostra, an international nonprofit organization that fosters collaboration in socially transformative, experimental performance art. UNM faculty panelists are Holly Barnet-Sanchez, Associate Professor, Department of Art and Art History; Teresa Eckmann, Postdoctoral Fellow, Center for Regional Studies; Miguel Gandert, Professor, Department of Communications and Journalism; Brian Herrera, Assistant Professor, Department of Theatre and Dance; and Gabriel Melendez, Professor, Department of American Studies.

Gómez-Peña’s work in performance, video, installation, poetry, journalism, cultural theory and radical pedagogy explores cross-cultural issues, immigration, the politics of language and new technologies. A MacArthur Fellow and American Book Award winner, he has presented his work at more than 700 venues in almost 20 nations.

La Pocha Nostra has associates across the U.S., Mexico, Spain, United Kingdom, Australia, and many other countries. Collaborating across national borders and artistic disciplines, La Pocha Nostra artists produce projects ranging from solos to large-scale performance installations using video, photography, audio and cyber-art. The projects challenge audiences to rethink the boundaries between cultures, ethnicities, genders and languages, as well as those between art and politics, artist and spectator. One of La Pocha Nostra’s ongoing projects is a living museum where performers exhibit themselves as human artifacts –as in an ethnographic diorama or freak show – using the culturally marginalizing context to challenge stereotypes and social fears. Audience members move through the interactive, simultaneously performed installations, creating a unique experience for each participant.

Cloud Tectonics
By Jose Rivera
Directed by Barney Lopez

Cloud Tectonics is a dreamy exploration of the nature of love and time. On a night that seems to last forever, one man picks up a hitchhiker, and she takes him on a ride through time and space, revealing the love of a lifetime. Celestina del Sol, a woman who is unrestricted by the effects of time, struggles to find her place in this ever-aging world. The only security she has lies in LAX baggage handler, Anibál de la Luna. Ignoring the complications of the outside world, Celestina and Anibál develop a bond so strong; they become one in the same time continuum. But can a love this unique survive in a world dominated by the restraints of time?

When Teri Horton bought a painting in a thrift shop for five dollars, she was stunned when a friend told her that it looked like an original Jackson Pollock and could be worth millions. Working with a leading forensic scientist, Teri learned that a fingerprint on the back of her canvas matched a fingerprint found on a can of paint in Jackson Pollock's studio. More research showed that paint on the floor of Pollock's studio matched the paint on Teri's canvas. Realizing that a Pollock painting the size of hers was worth upwards of $50 million, Teri thought she had won the lottery. “Not so fast,” the art establishment answered, proclaiming her painting worthless. This feature-length documentary captures the 15-year debate between the world’s most prestigious art collectors, authenticators and experts and the feisty, 73 year-old grandma who would not give up.
