Museum Moment, 2009 by Sam Gilliam 32 x 40 inches Member price $1500 Nonmember price $1800 Code: ART116 Museum Moment, 2009 by Sam Gilliam Considered one of the foremost abstract artists in the United States, Gilliam says Museum Moment, is “a celebration of art” inspired by the first commission he created for the Smithsonian in 1987. Combined shapes create an explosive power with lush color and a heavily textured overlay. It is a tense balance of intellectual structure and paint. Along with Gilliam, Master printer Lou Stovall, of Workshop Inc., produced the edition. Stovall’s assistant, Rachael Mahr, describes the painter/printer partnership: “What you find in Museum Moment is not only a collaboration between painter, Sam Gilliam and printmaker, Lou Stovall, but a perfect harmony of two rich artistic traditions that compliment and challenge each other and have here brought together a world of color and form into a balance of freedom and control, dynamism and meticulous execution.” Gilliam received a Guggenheim Fellowship and the Norman Walt Harris Prize from the Art Institute of Chicago. His works are in museum permanent collections around the country including the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Denver Museum of Art, Chrysler Museum of Art, and the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis.

  • Mayor's Awards for Excellence in the Arts Past Recipients
    Mayor’s Awards for Excellence in the Arts Past Recipients 2018/2019 Charles MacKay, Former General Director of the Santa Fe Opera 2018 marked Charles MacKay’s 10th and final season as General Director of The Santa Fe Opera and the culmination of his extraordinary 50-year career, a trajectory that took him from orchestra “pit boy” to impresario. Charles started his career at The Santa Fe Opera in 1968, working in several administrative and artistic capacities until 1978 when he went to work for the Spoleto Festival USA and Festival of Two Worlds. In 1985 he became Executive Director, then General Director of Opera Theatre of Saint Louis until returning in 2008 to The Santa Fe Opera as General Director. Only the third General Director in Santa Fe Opera history, Charles leaves The Santa Fe Opera an important legacy to build upon, including improved infrastructure and enhanced front-of-house facilities; administrative buildings, beautiful grounds, Information Technology, and rehearsal facilities; increased net assets from $61 to $120 million, and an increased operating budget from $17 million to $24 million. He oversaw the strengthening of education and community programs serving over 50,000 people annually. All in all, Charles passed on an institution whose annual economic impact to the region is approximately $250 million. Myra Krien, International Performer, Choreographer, and Educator Marie Romero Cash was born into a Santa Fe family of sculptors, tinsmiths, retablo painters, and colcha stitchers. Her parents, National Endowment for the Arts fellowship recipients Emilio and Senaida Romero helped revive the traditions of hammered-tin work and stitchery.

The land was rich and our early communities thrived. However, by the early 1900s, our tribal population was nearly extinct, subject to enslavement, abuse, genocide and relocation by the arrival of the missionaries, the Gold Rush and federal policies supporting mistreatment of Native Americans. By 1970, with no economic base, our people had become dependent on the U.S. government for aid and survival. With most of our homeland taken from us, we lost touch with our traditions, our culture and our native language. Finally, in the late 1980s, the tide began to turn. Some of our ancestral lands were restored to the Tribe, providing a land base for tribal housing and for sustainable economic development. Today, the Yocha Dehe Wintun Nation enjoys success in areas of renewable energy, green building, natural resource conservation, community health, education, and organic food and farming. Sustainability and land stewardship are core values of the Yocha Dehe Tribe, and it has been due in large part to the protection and advancement of our rights to self-determination as a Native American Nation that we have been able to fully realize and renew our commitment to sustainability.

    James T. Bialac Native American Art Collection Archives Finding Aid Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art University of Oklahoma 555 Elm Avenue, Norman, Oklahoma, 73019-3003 About the James T. Bialac Native American Art Collection Arizona attorney James T. Bialac (UA, Law, class of ’59) began collecting Native American art in 1964. Over the next 50 years, he amassed one of the most important private collections of contemporary Native art in the world. His collection contains approximately 2,500 two-dimensional works of art and more than 2,500 three-dimensional works, including katsinam carvings, textiles, pottery, and jewelry. Works from the Native cultures of the Southwest comprise the majority of the collection, but tribal groups from regions across North America are represented, including the Arctic, the Northeast Woodlands, the Southeast, the Plains and into Mexico. Remarkably, the artistic quality of the collection is equaled by its pristine physical condition. Mr. Bialac has been particularly attentive to the care and conservation of the works on paper, ensuring that they have been framed behind ultraviolet glass with archival quality acid-free mats. His conscientious efforts will ensure these fragile works will be preserved for all our future generations. “In meeting OU President David Boren and his wife, Molly, I immediately felt a sense of kindred spirit committed to the advancement of Native America. To my delight, in discussions with the Fred Jones Jr. Museum and the School of Art, this sense of vision – of compassionate exploration and scholarly drive – was reinforced and I knew that my collection had found its home.” – Jim Bialac In 2010 he gifted the collection of 4,100 objects to the University of Oklahoma, where the art is displayed at the Fred Jones Jr.

  • Native Representations: Media and the Arts
    M05_LOBO3944_01_SE_C05.qxd 9/9/09 12:25 PM Page 201 V NATIVE REPRESENTATIONS: MEDIA AND THE ARTS 201 M05_LOBO3944_01_SE_C05.qxd 9/9/09 12:25 PM Page 202 202 NATIVE REPRESENTATIONS: MEDIA AND THE ARTS n academics, the term representations refers to how meaning is constructed in our minds through language; be it words (e.g., writing, poetry), music (e.g., traditional, Imodern, or rap lyrics), storytelling (e.g., spoken words, traditional languages), or visual language (all forms of art, filmmaking, and performance). How Native Americans represent themselves or make meaning of their lives and cultures as Native peoples is very different from how the dominant culture has represented (mis-represented) them as “Indians” throughout history. As we have seen in previous parts of this text, Native history is different from American history. However, with the development of the field of American Indian Studies/Native American Studies, history is being revised to include Native voices; this book is a prime example of that process. But, in this day and age, the story is not told only in textbooks. History is conveyed through popular culture in the media—through movies, music, and other arts—where Native stories are being rewritten in Native voices. Today many people learn about American Indians through school or museums. However, even more people learn about Natives in the media. Historically, people learned about Indians less from school than from folklore, newspapers, novels, images, and serialized stories. In fact, the earliest images and stories of Indians came from the explorers and later the colonists. Columbus was one of the first to write about Indians, and ever since, there have been stories and images of Native Americans permeating the consciousness of American popular culture.

    WEST LOBBY 1. Luis Jiménez 1940 El Paso Texas - 2006 Hondo, New Mexico Progress I 1974 painted cast fiberglass with epoxy resin, glitter, enamel, and electric lights Albuquerque Museum, museum purchase, 1981 General Obligation Bonds PC1983.87.1 Progress I is a bold, energetic sculpture of an Indigenous hunter on horseback. A close look reveals several hidden animals common to the Southwest. Their diverse forms create both a sense of movement and drama. The work brings attention to the interconnected relationship between humans and nature. Progress I is the first in a three-part series reflecting human existence in the western United States. The next sculpture in Jiménez’s series features a Vaquero on horseback roping a Longhorn, and the third, which exists only as drawings, features the stagecoach. Having mastered the art of figurative sculpture in New York, in the 1960s, Jiménez selected fiberglass as an unexpected material. Public sculpture dating back 5,000 years to the time of ancient Egypt was typically made of stone or metal. Although some initially rejected Jiménez’s use of unorthodox materials, he succeeded in introducing this industrial, slick material to the world of art. Jiménez’s use of glitter and brilliant, airbrushed colors is a nod to the low rider and Latino culture which he used to challenge the definitions of fine art and sculpture.
