Book excerpt: The expertise of Native glass artists, in combination with the stories of their cultures, has produced a remarkable new artistic genre. This flowering of glass art in Indian Country is the result of the coming together of two movements that began in the 1960s--the contemporary Native arts movement, championed by Lloyd Kiva New, and the studio glass art movement, founded by American glass artists such as Dale Chihuly, who started several early teaching programs. Taken together, these two movements created a new dimension of cultural and artistic expression. The glass art created by American Indian artists is not only a personal expression but also imbued with cultural heritage. Whether reinterpreting traditional iconography or expressing current issues, Native glass artists have created a rich body of work. These artists have melded the aesthetics and properties inherent in glass art with their respective cultural knowledge. The result is the stunning collection of artwork presented here. A number of American Indian artists were attracted to glass early in the movement, including Larry "Ulaaq" Ahvakana and Tony Jojola. Among the second generation of Native glass blowers are Preston Singletary, Daniel Joseph Friday, Robert "Spooner" Marcus, Raven Skyriver, Raya Friday, Brian Barber, and Ira Lujan. This book also highlights the glass works of major multimedia artists including Ramson Lomatewama, Marvin Oliver, Susan Point, Haila (Ho-Wan-Ut) Old Peter, Joe David, Joe Fedderson, Angela Babby, Ed Archie NoiseCat, Tammy Garcia, Carol Lujan, Rory Erler Wakemup, Lillian Pitt, Adrian Wall, Virgil Ortiz, Harlan Reano, Jody Naranjo, and several others. Four indigenous artists from Australia and New Zealand, who have collaborated with American Indian artists, are also included. This comprehensive look at this new genre of art includes multiple photographs of the impressive works of each artist.

Download or read book Cultural Convergence in New Mexico written by Robin Farwell Gavin and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-15 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural Convergence in New Mexico is a volume in honor of William Wroth (1938-2019), whose career as a cultural historian and curator contributed greatly to our understanding of Spanish Colonial art in the Americas. Wroth's book Hispanic Crafts of the Southwest (1977) built upon E. Boyd's work by bringing contemporary practitioners of the traditional arts into the discussion, and Christian Images in Hispanic New Mexico (1982) changed the course of scholarship on the artistic style of New Mexican religious imagery. Wroth's endeavors were not limited to Spanish Colonial art. In 2000, Wroth's exhibition and book Ute Indian Arts and Culture from Prehistory to the New Millennium were considered groundbreaking for placing Ute art in the context of Ute history and world view. In 2010, he brought together years of research to the exhibition and book Converging Streams: Art of the Hispanic and Native American Southwest. Wroth also wrote poetry and about poetry, and helped found the poetry review Coyote's Journal. This volume explores themes important to Wroth broadly related to the art, history, and culture of New Spain, as well as cross-cultural interactions of Hispanos and Native Americans. With more than 180 color illustrations, Cultural Convergence presents interdisciplinary essays by an esteemed group of scholars and writers, and a selection of works by artists he knew and admired. In addition, Wroth selected the essayists; many are colleagues he worked with over the years. They include Donna Pierce and Robin Farwell Gavin (volume editors), Richard I. Ford, Klinton Burgio-Ericson, David L. Shaul and Scott G. Ortman, José Antonio Esquibel, Cristina Cruz González, Rick Hendricks, John L. Kessell, Victor Dan Jaramillo, Don J. Usner, Lane Coulter, Jonathan Batkin, Enrique R. Lamadrid and Miguel A. Gandert, Orlando Romero, Jack Loeffler, and John Brandi.

Book excerpt: Visually focused, packed with cultural insight, and sized for portability, Guides for the Eyes celebrate the local traditions and visual vernacular that surrounds us. Operating at the intersection of art and anthropology, each edition in the series explores place through 100 of the most notable features of a region. Vivid photography and informative text provide insight into the significance of each topic, covering regional architecture, design, flora, fauna, food, crafts, folklore, landscape, and other facets of local identity and style. Ranging from the obvious to the obscure, these distinguishing elements define a locale as somewhere as opposed to anywhere. As one of the most unique and colorful regions of North America, New Mexico is the first subject of the series. Throughout thousands of years, the state s striking landscape has inspired the art, design and traditions of its three dominant cultures: Native American, Hispanic and Anglo/Western. These distinct groups continue to blend and evolve, infusing the rustic land with a compelling vibrancy, unrivaled in its beauty.
Download or read book Art in an Arid Climate written by Cody James Hartley and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Santa Fe, New Mexico, enjoys an international reputation as an artistic, cultured city, despite its relative remoteness and small population. Geographically, economically, and socially, however, early twentieth-century Santa Fe was as unlikely a spot as anywhere in the United States for an artistic community to emerge. Santa Fe exemplified the booster mentality of the period, which Sinclair Lewis so succinctly satirized in his 1922 novel, Babbitt . Like almost every other town in America, Santa Fe's leading citizens had nearly-delusional visions of civic grandeur. They eagerly formed clubs and created new cultural institutions as evidence of civilization and a panacea for social ills. What is compelling about Santa Fe's cultural development is that the community achieved such atypical success using such typical techniques. While many cities attempted this formula, few managed to leverage culture as successfully as Santa Fe. How was national and international fame achieved by this small art colony? The single most influential institution in producing this reputation was the Museum of New Mexico (MNM). This is a study of this museum and its role in the cultivation of Santa Fe's artistic and civic culture. From the moment of its opening in 1909, the MNM was at the center of every major cultural development in Santa Fe, evolving and adapting along the way. This is an art historical dissertation that goes beyond the traditional focus on particular artists or artworks. Primary evidence comes from period correspondence, administrative archives, and a full-text database of the Museum's official publication, El Palacio . I use the concepts of social and cultural capital to track the accumulation and deployment of the resources necessary to create institutions and actively forge an international reputation. My methodology borrows from sociology, economics, public policy studies, and "New Western" history. I use an interdisciplinary approach that understands museums as critical institutional frames that serve multiple roles for both artists and the larger community. Though a historical study, the Museum of New Mexico's past is relevant to contemporary questions facing museums and communities nationwide regarding the power of museums to define artistic discourse, the social responsibilities of traditionally elitist institutions towards minority populations, and the role of culture in fostering economic development.
Download or read book Dressing with Purpose written by Carrie Hertz and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2021-12-21 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dress helps us fashion identity, history, community, and place. Dress has been harnessed as a metaphor for both progress and stability, the exotic and the utopian, oppression and freedom, belonging and resistance. Dressing with Purpose examines three Scandinavian dress traditions—Swedish folkdräkt, Norwegian bunad, and Sámi gákti—and traces their development during two centuries of social and political change across northern Europe. By the 20th century, many in Sweden worried about the ravages of industrialization, urbanization, and emigration on traditional ways of life. Norway was gripped in a struggle for national independence. Indigenous Sámi communities—artificially divided by national borders and long resisting colonial control—rose up in protests that demanded political recognition and sparked cultural renewal. Within this context of European nation-building, colonial expansion, and Indigenous activism, traditional dress took on special meaning as folk, national, or ethnic minority costumes—complex categories that deserve reexamination today. Through lavishly illustrated and richly detailed case studies, Dressing with Purpose introduces readers to individuals who adapt and revitalize dress traditions to articulate who they are, proclaim personal values and group allegiances, strive for sartorial excellence, reflect critically on the past, and ultimately, reshape the societies they live in.
