SBCC presents the New Mexico premiere of a film by Maria Yoon entitled “Maria the Korean Bride.” Performance artist Maria Yoon is a first generation Korean-American. Calling herself “The voice of the unmarried Asian-American woman,” like many single women of a certain age, Maria felt a growing pressure to wed. So she took matrimony to the next level.

She quickly learned to coordinate on-the-go weddings with volunteer participants who are actual ministers, photographers, and bachelors across the country. Her 50th wedding in New York City’s Times Square concluded her nine-year journey. Her unique experience will make you both laugh and cry as she travels the country exploring the institution of marriage. Will she ever find true love?

Maria Yoon is a Korean-born artist who lives and works in New York City.

ART EXHIBITIONS

Albuquerque Museum OPENING JUNE 14TH: CHRISTO & JEANNE-CLAUDE: THE TOM GOLDEN COLLECTION North Gallery This unique collection of works of art by renowned artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude includes original drawings, sculptures, collages and photographs capturing the versatility, longevity and international scope of the duo’s extensive career. Started by Tom Golden in the summer of 1974, it is one of the largest collections of art by Christo and Jeanne-Claude in the United States, Golden’s personal and professional relationship with the artists began during the 1974 public hearings for Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s project “Running Fence.” Golden continued to manage and assist with several of the artist’s large-scale projects such as “The Umbrellas” and “Over the River.” Drawings and collages of the large-scale public works, sold to fund the actual installations, are an important component of this collection.

As partners for more than 40 years, Christo and Jeanne-Claude have created lasting environmental installation art throughout the world. Their works include the wrapping of the Reichstag in Berlin and the Pont Neuf bridge in Paris, the 24-mile long curtain titled “Running Fence” in California, and most recently “The Gates” in New York City’s Central Park. Because their large-scale public projects are temporary, these preliminary artworks remain as evidence of these installations.

This collection represents not only the special relationship between an artist and a collector, but also the collaborative effort between the artists and the many people involved in producing the works. Closing September 14, 2014.

OPENING JUNE 28TH: NATIVE AMERICAN BOLO TIES: VINTAGE AND CONTEMPORARY ARTISTRY West Gallery Join us for a fun-filled exploration of the intriguing history of the bolo tie, New Mexico’s official state neckwear. Organized by the Heard Museum in Phoenix, Arizona, the exhibition traces the history of the bolo tie back to 19th-century scarf slides and slide necklaces. The bolo tie we know of today emerged in the 1940s as a challenge to traditional neckwear. While Wickenburg, Arizona’s Vic Cedarstaff laid claim to inventing the bolo in 1949, others disagree. Continued…

Nevertheless, bolo ties were haute couture in Western movies and mid-century TV shows, and through the decades have become a major expression of Native American artists including Charles Loloma, Hopi, and Norbert Peshlakai, Navajo. Bolo ties remain popular, and are even re-invented in unique mediums such as glass and ceramics. Be sure to attend the opening reception on June 28th bedecked in your favorite bolos – the more, the merrier!

Native American Bolo Ties: Vintage and Contemporary Artistry is organized by the Heard Museum in Phoenix, Arizona, made possible by the Virginia M. Ullman Foundation. Closing September 21, 2014.

Balloon Museum CHILDREN OF WAR, VOICES FOR PEACE Back by popular demand, this touching exhibition features a little-known footnote in the history of World War II. Japanese schoolchildren were recruited to help create “Fugos”—giant balloons that were armed with bombs and launched across the Pacific.

The only enemy-caused deaths on the North American continent in World War II occurred from the detonation of one of these bombs. The exhibition features the story of one Japanese schoolgirl who later learned that her contribution to her country’s safety was an instrument of death, and of her subsequent efforts to promote peace.

CHILDREN'S PEACE STATUE This statue was dedicated at the Balloon Museum August 4, 2013. The Children’s Peace Statue is a monument designed and funded entirely by children. It stands as a symbol of hope for a peaceful future. In the fall of 1989, children of Arroyo del Oso Elementary School in Albuquerque, New Mexico were studying the Arms Race. The children decided that one solution to the problem of war would be to teach young people to work for peace. During their studies, the students learned the story of school children in Japan who built a monument, the Genbaku No Ko No Zo Statue for Children Who Were Victims of the Atomic Bombs. Inspired by the story, the children formed the Kids’ Committee for the Children’s Peace Statue and made plans to design and build a peace monument of their own.

FAI BALLOONING COMMISSION INTERNATIONAL HALL OF FAME The Hall of Fame features some 40 existing inductees and recognizes people who have made significant contributions to aerostation. In a private induction ceremony for media and invited guests on September 30, 2011, the following were inducted into the Hall of Fame: Ron Clark, a member of the crew to make the first balloon crossing of the Pacific Ocean; Larry Newman, a co-inventor of the ultra-light airplane and co-captain on the first manned balloon crossing of the Pacific Ocean; Rocky Aoki, a restaurateur and a record-setting balloonist in crossing the Pacific Ocean in a helium balloon; and Olivier Roux Devillas, the founder of the French Aeronautical Federation and competitive balloonist. Past inductees with a New Mexico connection include Sid Cutter, the Balloon Fiesta co-founder, and Maxie Anderson and Ben Abruzzo, two of the three balloonists of the first trans-Atlantic balloon flight.

KiMo Theatre CLOSING JUNE 14TH: DE LA COCINA AL OJO The kitchen and dining room are spaces in which the construction of the relationship between the diner and food, the blending of flavors, tasting and the perception of textures occur. While photography and the kitchen seem to share no bond, however, the relationship to the visual through photography and the connection to the experience of preparing and eating food is connected through the senses of sight, smell and taste. This exhibition blends the experience of the senses in a most wonderful way.

The work of noted Mexican photographer Agustín Casasola is featured. He was one of the founders of he Mexican Association of Press Photographers. This exhibition is presented by the Mexican Consulate.

South Broadway Cultural Center OPENING JUNE 12TH; AGAINST PREVAILING WINDS Prevailing winds are bound together to form one general direction of movement. Creating art has many origins. “Against Prevailing Winds” is an art exhibit featuring the works of six artists who are working in their own quest to define their own space—a space where art takes on literal and abstract constructs of one’s own quest. Some artists choose to challenge the dominating forces around them and create something new, while other artists may follow conventions and become part of the prevailing winds. The works of artists Bruce Warren Davis, Lito Vales, Dan Fuller, Joshua Willis, Maria Yoon, Julia Lambright and Danielle Rae Miller are featured. A free public reception for the artists is scheduled for Thursday, June 12th from 6 – 8 pm.
