Opening: Dwelling
Where: Las Cruces Museum of Art
Date: 2007-07-06 17:00:00
Type:
Dwelling, an exhibit by Albuquerque artist Becky Holtzman, will be on display at the Las Cruces Museum of Art, Friday, July 6 Saturday, Aug.25. Holtzmans sculptures, etchings and mixed media pieces explore the concept of dwelling in homes, in the body, as well as referencing ancestral and genetic knowledge. An opening reception for the artist will be held on July 6 from 5 7 p.m. All exhibits are accessible and free of charge. Holtzman explains, I am interested in the places where human experiences overlap: where biology meets spirituality and where the individuals needs reflect and deflect their culture. It is in leaving home that we are able to arrive at a metaphorical home. Her exhibit, Dwelling, considers the relationship of home and memory, the objects and images that define home for the artist. Holtzman moved to New Mexico 10 years ago and considers the southwest landscape as dear to me as family: warm, red-brown rocks, the slant of the evening light in the desert, a quietness that clarifies the tangles of life. Natural materials including rocks and bones are in her artworks. Holtzman holds a BFA in printmaking from Indiana University. She also studied art in Italy through a University of Georgia program. Her work has been exhibited in Minnesota, Colorado and New Mexico and is included in several private and public collections. She taught art workshops for Somos Familias and was artist-in-residence at La Cueva High School. Concurrently at the Museum is the exhibition, Ansel Adams: The Man Who Captured the Earths Beauty, through Saturday, Aug. 4. Photographer Al Weber will give a free lecture about Adams on Saturday, July 14 at 11 a.m. The Las Cruces Museum of Art is located at 491 North Main on the Downtown Mall. The Museum is open from 10 am 4 pm Monday through Friday and from 9 am 1 pm on Saturday.
