This art exhibit showcases the work of six emerging Native artists who worked closely with master printers at Tamarind Institute in Albuquerque, NM, and at Crow’s Shadow Press on the Umatilla Reservation in Oregon. Defined by varying influences of movement—between one time and another, between cultures, places, artistic mediums, and between obscurity and public attention—Migrations explores multiple creative themes and concepts and embraces both the modern and traditional. The six artists featured in this important show—Steven Deo, Tom Jones, Larry McNeil, Ryan Lee Smith, Star Wallowing Bull, and Marie Watt—represent a range of stylistic approaches, tribal affiliations, and media. In the Mashantucket Gallery. Free with Museum admission, free to Museum members.
This exhibition has been organized by the University of New Mexico Art Museum, Albuquerque, in collaboration with the Tamarind Institute at UNM. Support for this project was provided by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts.
