Big Paper – A Group Show in Santa Fe

RJM — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 14:00:02 +0000

BIG PAPER
A group show of drawing by Alison Keogh, Shelby Shadwell, Wesley Berg,
Peter Ligon, Larry Bob Phillips and Lisa Wederquist

Exhibition Dates: May 13 – June 18, 2011
Opening Reception: Friday, May 13, 2011, 5-7pm at 333 Montezuma Annex
www.222shelbystreet.com

333 Montezuma Annex opens an exhibit entitled Big Paper Friday, May 13th with an artist’s reception from 5-7 PM. Pulling from the diverse community of artists with ties to Santa Fe, Big Paper features six artists from around the country: Wesley Berg, Alison Keogh, Peter Ligon, Larry Bob Phillips, Shelby Shadwell, and Lisa Wederquist.

The Big of Big Paper refers not only to the scale of the drawings but also to the continued importance of drawings on paper in contemporary art. There is a timelessness in the concentration necessary for drawing and it’s mysterious power to be both subjective and objective in the act of hand to paper. The six artists in Big Paper remind us that touch is a sense aligned with the imagination and that it is capable of rendering every human nuance.

Each artistic generation finds anew in the hand to paper that “the human imagination and an individual mind is more unique than an individual fingerprint.”

Stay tuned for more information. We hope you will drop by and visit with us. 333 Montezuma Annex’s spring hours are Thursday and Friday, 10 am – 5 pm. To schedule an appointment please contact Tom Tavelli at 505/699-2833 or tom@shelbystreet.com.

The Clay Room

RJM — Tue, 01 Feb 2011 16:13:21 +0000

The Clay Room” is an interactive site- specific installation, which I am currently developing. This project allows visitors to perceive the land in a new way and to reconnect with the earth through the medium of local clays. Many of us have lost our connection to the land. The primary objective is to use art as a vehicle that engages people, especially children with the earth that will heighten their awareness of the land.

This project is of particular value for urban locations. For those who work with the land this installation may provide an unexpected experience of something already known.

Currently I am harvesting clays from Santa Fe and the surrounding area. This particular project proposes an untraditional presentation of clay in two dimensions on the walls and floor of the “clay room”.
