SANTA FE, NM — The City of Santa Fe Arts Commission’s Community Gallery announces “In/Visible Borders: New Mexico Photographers” an exhibition in collaboration with the Santa Fe University of Art and Design’s Marion Center for Photographic Arts. This exhibit examines the contemporary New Mexico landscape in terms of the cultural, political and economic realities of the 21st century along the borderlands between the United States and Mexico. The exhibit is curated by Mary Anne Redding, Chair of the Photography Department at the University. A public opening will be held on Friday, November 22, 2013 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Community Gallery, located at 201 West Marcy Street. The opening is free and open to the public. For more information, contact the Community Gallery at 505-955-6705.

 

“This exhibit is an opportunity for the City of Santa Fe Arts Commission to work with an outstanding local curator, Mary Anne Redding, to produce an exhibit that is poignant and visceral,” said, Rod Lambert, Community Gallery Manager. “The issues being addressed by the exhibit bring thoughtful, if sometimes uncomfortable, topics to the public through the beautiful and haunting imagery of a group of leading New Mexico photographers.”

 

Nineteen photographers have been invited to exhibit images relating to this topic. Participating artists include: Tony Bonanno, Michael Borowski, David Bram, Kirk Gittings, Lauren Greenwald, Mindy Jean-Paul, David Michael Kennedy, Karen Kuehn, Greg MacGregor, Norman Mauskopf, Delilah Montoya, Patrick Nagatani, Teresa Neptune, David Robin, Sharon Stewart, Jamey Stillings, Martin Stupich, Carlan Tapp and Tamara Zibners.

 

In/Visible Borders investigates the organic and often hidden borderlands that define the state of New Mexico and the southwest,” states Mary Anne Redding, Curator. “The exhibit addresses issues such as the physical border between two countries or states, but also political, economic, race, ethnic and national boundaries.”

 

In conjunction with the exhibit, there will be a series of free lectures and workshops intended to further explore the topics raised by the exhibit. In partnership with the School of Architecture and Planning of the University of New Mexico, Moises Gonzales will lead a series of weekend workshops in which participants explore their communities.
