Harris Karla Iscapa September 2017 – May 2018 Vanessa Leon Daniel Longoria Mis Pensamientos: Visions on Canvas – The Art of Maria Ibarra, a Rarámuri Descendant Adam Marshall November 4, 2017 – February 24, 2018 Auditorium Carina Ramirez Ida Mae Steadman Railroad Era Pottery: The Tourist Trade Comes to Isleta Pueblo November 4, 2017 – February 24, 2018 Auditorium 3 Current Exhibitions Casas Grandes Resurgence: The Early Potters of Mata Ortiz Through June 23, 2018 Auditorium The contemporary Mata Ortiz pottery renaissance began as an effort by villagers to replicate ancient Casas Grandes ceramic vessels. As time went on, the style evolved as potters began to include technical and aesthetic advances. Mastery of the craft and the styles of individual artists has led to a departure from traditional forms by some, creating the contemporary expression that is characteristic of Mata Ortiz pottery today. The exhibition is comprised of portraits of many of the early potters and participants of trade in the antiquities market and is taken from the work of Fabiola Silva, archaeologist, and Sterling Trantham, documentary photographer. The exhibit also features pieces from the Museum’s own collection of early Mata Ortiz pottery as well as the groundbreaking work of Diego Valles, a member of the next generation of Mata Ortiz potters. Mata Ortiz pottery (ca. 1970’s) Master Potter Diego Valles conducted a pottery firing demonstration for the opening of Casas Grandes Resurgence: The Early Potters of Mata Ortiz on March 3rd. Mr. Valles lives and works in the village of Mata Ortiz, Chihuahua, Mexico. 4 Children of the Hisatsinom: The Art of the Hopi Through August 31, 2018 North Gallery Since ancient times the Hopi people, or Hopituh Shi-nu mu (the peaceful people) have lived in the Southwest, maintaining their sacred covenant with Maasaw, the keeper of the earth, living as peaceful farmers who are respectful of the land and its resources. Descendants of the Ancestral Pueblo peoples, the Hopi continue to live following many of the old traditions that have been passed down for generations. The purpose of this exhibit is to showcase the many arts that the Hopi use to communicate elements of their culture and traditions to a wider audience. From basketry to pottery to the carving of beautiful katsina dolls, the Hopi continue to express their deep, rich history through the creative works of their artisans. Hopi pottery (1940’s and 1991) 5 The Missions of El Paso Del Norte Through 2019 South Gallery The Spanish Mission system was intended to ‘settle’ Native Americans, converting them to Catholicism and implementing other aspects of Spanish culture. The relationship between Spanish clergy and military was close; missions and fortified military bases known as presidios were established in close proximity and soldiers were used to locate and return individuals who fled from the missions. Following their escape and arrival in the area, the survivors of the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 began settling and building missions and presidios. The Mission exhibit presents the brief history of each of the missions and the presidio at San Elizario and features various objects recovered from the excavations at the original Socorro Mission site. These objects are graciously on loan from Mr. Joe Ledesma, former owner of the property where the Mission once stood. Piro Culture brownware jar fragment (L) and Majolica fragments (R).

  • Mata Ortiz, Mexico, Is Changing, but Its Spirit Is Rooted in Ancient Ways
    ← Back to Original Article MEXICO Town shaped from clay The pottery that remade Mata Ortiz, Mexico, is changing, but its spirit is rooted in ancient ways January 13, 2013 By Alison DaRosa MATA ORTIZ, MEXICO — The place felt so familiar. The air was dry and warm and slightly smoky. Streets were unpaved, rutted, edged with weeds below ramshackle wooden fences. Swaybacked horses and muscled pickup trucks dueled for right of way on the dusty roads. I was invited almost immediately into the humble homes of extraordinary artists and encouraged to inspect pieces of delicate pottery displayed on oilcloth-covered kitchen tables or arranged on sagging beds. I looked over the shoulders of men and women who shaped, polished and painted at tiny sunlit work stations. I caressed their art, held their children. I embraced the artists' warmth, spirit, gentle humility and exquisite talent. They touched my soul. It was as though nothing in Mata Ortiz had changed, but after a few days I learned how much had changed. Pottery put Mata Ortiz on the map. This village, in the northern state of Chihuahua, sits on the edge of a high-desert plain that once was home to the thriving pre-Columbian Paquime culture. (For travel warnings on this area, go to travel .state.gov.) In the late 1950s and early '60s, as Paquime ruins were being excavated, impoverished residents learned there was a market for ancient pottery. Even simple pots were sold to local merchants for $5 or $6 apiece -- the equivalent of wages for several days' labor. When supplies eventually dwindled and a law prohibited the sale of antiquities, a few locals began making pots that merchants and Mexican traders passed off as the real thing.

  • Reconstructing a Miracle: New Perspectives on Mata Ortiz Pottery Making
    Reconstructing a Miracle: New Perspectives on Mata Ortiz Pottery Making JIM HILLS Memory is life, borne by living societies founded in its name. History, on the other hand, is the reconstruction, always prob- lematic and incomplete. —Pierre Nora, Realms of Memory (Les lieux des mémoires) This paper is an exploration into memory and history, and into how certain stories have evolved while a larger chorus of voices—those that permeated the kitchens, streets, and fields of Mata Ortiz, Chihuahua—have been lost over the past forty years. The project didn’t start out this way. It began in 2001, when Mata Ortiz collector Dr. Richard O’Connor suggested that I write an article on the traders of Mata Ortiz. Since I was an early trader in the village, having arrived in May 1978, I thought it was a great idea. We immediately set down on paper the names of the traders we could think of to interview: we came up with a list of twenty individuals and believed we remembered most of the relevant people. Ten years later, I have iden- tified more than 120 traders and other significant visitors to the village, and the list continues to grow (see appendix). As I began the interview process, first with traders, then with collectors and aficionados of Mata Ortiz pottery, my files quickly expanded. Today, I have collected research data and conducted interviews with more than one hundred individuals on both sides of the border, including collectors, buyers, traders, potters and their family members (including wives, ex-wives, daughters, and sons), and friends of important potters who have died.

Together with its sister city of El Paso, Texas, it comprises a single metropolitan area of more than two million people. This stretch of border is well-served by four bridges that connect the two countries. Ciudad Juarez is the most important manufacturing city in Mexico, and along with commerce, it makes up a fundamental part of the economy. This iconic city is surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes and wildlife areas. Arriving in this prosperous border city you’ll find the vast white expanse of the Salamayuca Desert to the south and the imposing Rio Grande River to the north. Here you can also admire colonial buildings, such as the Guadalupe Mission, the beautiful city cathedral, and the monumental former customs building. In addition to being a great place to do business, Ciudad Juarez is also an excellent cultural and adventure tourism destination, thanks in large part to its close proximity to the desert. BUSINESS IN CIUDAD JUAREZ Hundreds of multinational corporations have established a presence in Ciudad Juarez to take advantage of easy access to the United States and a skilled labor market. Today, Japanese, U.S., and European companies are already part of the panorama of this city, which maintains high quality standards due to ongoing training and international certifications.

Jason Sherman This thesis presents the results of analyses conducted on 80 ceramic vessels from the Casas Grandes region (Chihuahua, Mexico) currently housed at the Milwaukee Public Museum (MPM). This collection, most of which was donated in 1977, was accompanied with little to no provenience information, and no research has been conducted on the materials since they came to the Museum. Drawing upon published studies of Casas Grandes pottery, a detailed coding scheme was developed in order to record formal and stylistic data that could be used to classify the vessels typologically and chronologically.

Quezada's work is inspired by the shards of Paquimé (or Casas Grandes) pottery that he found in the hills near his rural home. Remarkably, this inspiration led him to spend fifteen years empirically rediscovering and reinventing the entire ceramic production process based on his analyses of these shards. Juan A map of Mata Ortiz and historic Quezada: The Legend of Mata Ortiz brings together 70 works to Paquimé settlement chart Quezada’s meteoric artistic evolution, from imitative pueblo- styled functional bowls and effigies in the 1970s, to recent, painterly vessels juxtaposing swooping, curvilinear designs with tight, geometrical patterns - his unique contemporary reinterpretation of historical Paquimé iconography. Growing up in the remote, rural village of Mata Ortiz, Quezada dropped out of school at a young age and worked in the hills collecting firewood to help support his family. These trips exposed Quezada to shards and fragments of pottery from the Juan Quezada, 1970, Collection of local Paquimé settlement, the largest and most significant Michael Wisner Mogollon culture site from 1130-1450 CE (this period directly follows the well-known “Classic Mimbres Phase” of the Mogollon culture, est.

The weekend Twill begin with a Reception at the Paquimé Museum and Archaeological site in Casas Grandes. The Conference location will be the Hotel Hacienda in the “new” part of town. Plans are underway to present the papers in both English and Spanish through simultaneous translation equipment, so all should be able to understand. Saturday late afternoon/evening will feature a local Indian Marketplace to be held on the hotel Tennis Court. The Marketplace will replace our usual vendor room, providing an opportunity for the local artisans to offer us some of their wares. Our traditional auction will be put off until our 2005 conference in Reno—so hang on to those treasures! Sunday’s Banquet will also be held at the Hotel Hacienda. Many great field trips are planned as well as opportunities to visit Mata Ortiz (see article in this issue for more information about the history of this fascinating local village). Specific field trip information will appear in the next La Pintura along with further information on crossing the border and driving to Casas Grandes. In the meantime, check out this month’s article on Mata Ortiz. ARARA is also providing (elsewhere in this issue) information for our members to travel to the conference with a tour as an alternative to driving.
