Events Calendar

Jorge Rojas, guest curator of ‘The Other Side of the Tracks,’ will guide audiences through the gallery discussing insights on process, themes, and more. The Other Side of the Tracks features national and regional artists Tania Candiani, Raven Chacon, Gregg Deal, Guillermo Galindo, Zhi Lin, Caroline Liu, Paisley Rekdal, Xaviera Simmons, and Chip Thomas.

Each artist examines and challenges the traditional narrative of the American railroad, and promote a more inclusive and accurate view of the subject matter. As a new generation of faster trains emerges, we must think critically about the history of our railways: who they have served, who they’ve neglected, and who they have hurt. The power that trains have to move and inspire us is still strong, but if we are to build a more equitable future, we must make a more concerted effort to clearly see our past.

Join the UNM Art Museum as we celebrate the opening of “Push & Pull: The Prints of Helen Frankenthaler and Her Contemporaries”

Our latest exhibition celebrates abstraction in all print processes. Featuring Modern and contemporary abstract prints and drawings, the exhibition focuses on the works of Helen Frankenthaler and Elaine de Kooning. Displayed alongside prints by their contemporaries, the works in this exhibition demonstrate important collaborations with American publishers such as Universal Limited Art Editions (ULAE), Tyler Graphics Ltd., and Tamarind Institute.

We invite you to join us for an opening reception, on Friday, January 31, from 4:00 – 7:00 PM, with opening remarking beginning at 4:45 PM. We look forward to welcoming you back to the UNM Art Museum.
