HALF LIFE 2012 Season of Programming

Posted on
HALF-LIFE: PATTERNS OF CHANGE 2012
Season of Programming
Join our visiting artists for part II of HALF LIFE as we explore questions that underlie the basic concept of half-life: how do systems age, decline, and regenerate? How can we use the artistic and creative processes to make those actions sustainable, inclusive, and effective? The artists will wrestle with complex issues such as the history of culture and
society, the boundaries of cycles, how relationships with the natural environment build or destroy community, and meditations on self-identity and place.

We must decide whether we want to determine our own future or lease it out for royalties.

CLIMATE CHANGE:
WHAT IS TO BE DONE?

Ojibwe prophecies speak of a time when we will have a choice between two paths. The first path is well-worn and scorched. The second path is new and green. It is our choice as communities and as individuals how we will proceed. We’ve already raised the average temperature of the globe one degree. The question is whether we can stop it from rising much more: this is at the core of our survival. It is essential for us to look at the world’s economic Continue reading →

Ukeles re-conceptualizes this first world perk into an active learning process that brings discussions of politics, environment, and society to the forefront. Through her work, she creates a springboard for rethinking urban ecology and the consequences of our current actions, both toward the environment and society.

The Santa Fe Art Institute is pleased to present the world famous culture jammers, “Identity Correction” practitioners, and civil disobedients, The Yes Men to give a performance/talk about their work and to screen their 2009 film, The Yes Men Fix the World. Join us in celebrating the SFAI’s 25th Anniversary with these amazing disturbers of complacency.

The Yes Men say of themselves:
The Yes Men are a genderless, loose-knit association of some 300 impostors worldwide who agree their way into the fortified compounds of commerce, ask questions, and then smuggle out the stories of their hijinks to provide a public glimpse at the behind-the-scenes world of business. In other words, the Yes Men are team players… but they play for the opposing team.

Wikipedia says of The Yes Men:
The Yes Men are a group of culture jamming activists who practice what they call “identity correction” by pretending to be powerful people and spokespersons for prominent organizations. From their offices in Milwaukee, they create and maintain fake websites similar to ones they want to spoof, and then they accept invitations received on their websites to appear at conferences, symposia, and TV shows. They express the idea that corporations and governmental organizations often act in dehumanizing ways toward the public.

A native son of the Southwest, Rael-Gálvez was raised farming and ranching in the closely-knit villages of Questa and Costilla, New Mexico and Jaroso, Colorado. His ancestral connections to indigenous villages and communities also profoundly shaped his worldview. It was in these villages, where his imagination was nourished somewhere in between the delicacy of what was spoken by his elders and the strength of the written word. He continues to maintain his ancestral home in the village of Questa.

Lecture

$5 general | $2.5 students/seniors/sfai members

The Santa Fe Art Institute is pleased to bring you award-winning documentary photographer, Susan Meiselas as part of our 2009 Visiting Artist & Lecture season, Memory: Shadow and Light | Art as individual/collective memory. Join us for her lecture on Monday, December 7th where Meiselas will talk about how her work is, by its very nature, charged with the sometimes antagonistic ideas of memory versus history. You can also come by the SFAI between 9am – 5pm M-F through December 31st and see two of her photographs in our Memory: Shadow & Light exhibition.

Susan Meiselas is an American photographer best known for her work covering the political upheavals in Central America in the 1970s and 1980s. Meiselas’ process has evolved in radical and challenging ways as she has grappled with pivotal questions about her relationship to her subjects, the use and circulation of her images in the media, and the relationship of images to history and memory. Since the 1970s, questions of ethics raised by documentary practice have been central to debates in photography. Perhaps no other photographer has so closely and consistently represented and participated in these debates than Meiselas. Her insistent engagement with these concerns has positioned her as a leading voice in the debate on contemporary documentary practice.

What: Susan York Lecture

Where: Tipton Hall

When: November 9, 2009 @ 6pm

How Much: $5 General Public | $2.50 students/seniors/SFAI members

The Santa Fe Art Institute is pleased to bring you award winning, minimalist sculptor, Susan York as part of our 2009 Visiting Artist & Lecture season, Memory: Shadow and Light | Art as individual/collective memory. Join us for her lecture on Monday, November 9th where York will talk about her work and how it fits this idea of the embodiment of memory.

York represents the new generation of minimal artists. Every aspect of her life demonstrates a spiritual determination to pare down to the essentials: the way she speaks and engages with issues, her studio practice, and her art reflect her strength of vision. York is an artist-alchemist who transforms basic carbon in the form of graphite into something silvery and magical. As has been York’s practice since she was young, her ideas reveal themselves slowly. Time is an important part of the process and the result is powerful and engaging art that takes the viewer to a place of immense calm and subtle tension.

The Painting Process and the Enigma of Memory

w/ Santa Fe Painter

Lawrence Fodor

Monday, August 17

6pm

Tipton Hall

$5 general public | $2.50 students/seniors/SFAI members

Says Fodor, “Painting is a personal process involving the mechanics and materials of painting – choosing canvas, brushes, mixing color, etc – and rummaging the deep recesses of memory, all contained within the moment and the act of painting. As a painting develops I move farther away from a conscious state, accessing the indelible marks of my history, sometimes unlocking doors to the forgotten and buried past, which has a direct correlation or translation to discovery in paint. My hypothesis regarding this realm of painting is that through the highly personal, and only through it, can one enter a realm of the inventive and universal. This, I know, is my most effective way to ultimately relate and communicate to other human beings.”
