Rakesh Chaurasia
Presented in partnership with PADMINI
sponsored by Rick Compton in memory of Tom Mouck
May 15, 2026 • 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm
The winner of two 2024 Grammy awards for his collaborative album with Zakir Hussain, Bela Fleck and Edgar Meyer (Best Contemporary Instrumental Album and Best Global Music Performance for “Pashto”), Rakesh Chaurasia, the nephew of legendary Indian classical flute maestro Pt. Hariprasad Chaurasia continues to carve a niche for himself in Indian Classical Music as a master of the “simple yet extremely difficult to play” Bansuri (bamboo) flute. Much like his uncle, Rakesh “possesses the right balance of strength and serenity, very critical factors for an exceptional flautist” and he has performed all over the world, including at prominent festivals like WOMAD in Athens, ‘Festivals of India’ in Russia, and more. He has recorded with most of the leading stalwarts of the Indian film industry, and, along with his Grammy awards, has been the recipient of many honors, including the 2007 Indian Music Academy Award given by the President of India and the Nakshatra Samman 2024 by TV9 Network in entertainment and music. He performed a stunning duet concert with the late tabla Maestro, Zakir Huissain at the KiMo Theatre in 2012. Chaurasia is joined tonight by his frequent collaborator Amit Kavthekar, tabla, who was heard just this past fall at Outpost with sitarist Purbayan Chatterjee. Known as the last ganda-bandhan (ordained disciple) of Alla Rakha, widely revered as one of history’s most iconic players of the tabla, and a prominent disciple of Zakir Hussain, Kavthekar is regarded as one of the leading young artists of Indian Classical music and tabla.
Inpost Artspace Reception: Works by Greg Tucker 1979-2025 | Poetry Interludes by Larry Goodell
19TH ANNUAL NEW MEXICO JAZZ FESTIVAL
Reception: September 7, 2025 | 3-5 pm
Exhibit Dates: August 18, 2025-December 31, 2025
Greg Tucker explores the connections between music and visual arts. His deep interest in both blues and jazz serves as an integral component to his dynamic artistic practices. Greg has collaborated with Outpost Director, Tom Guralnick, since 1976 when Guralnick ran the New Mexico Jazz Workshop and Greg designed the graphics for the organization – some of which will be featured in this show. One piece in this exhibit is the poster of Cecil Taylor which hung in the KiMo front display case in 1979 and it is expected that we will be releasing that concert on Archival Vinyl some time soon. Greg Tucker has work in the permanent collections of the Museum of Art of Albuquerque and in UNM’s Fine Arts Museum. As an illustrator, his work was published by the Dallas Morning News, Philadelphia Inquirer, Psychology Today, Bloomberg Financial Magazine, Utne Reader, Village Voice, Salon Online, Harcourt Brace and many more. His illustrations have won many awards and have been included in many professional annuals, including the internationally prestigious Graphis Design Annual. For many years, his work was represented by the Mariposa Gallery in Albuquerque. Greg has said, “I began drawing at a very early age, and being an avid and early reader, by the time I was a teen, I’d already read about and had been mesmerized by artists and the whole history of art – from prehistoric through contemporary, from “High” to humble-Asian, European, African, Native American. My formal education in art was from the University of Georgia, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Escuela de Bellas Artes in Guadalajara, Mexico and at the University of New Mexico. In spite of the early training in fine arts, I ended up in illustration. a concession to the need to eat.” Larry Goodell lives in Placitas where was one of the directors of the Duende Poetry Series. He was born in Roswell in 1935, schooled at USC and at UNM. His father was a NM State Representative and then NM State Senator. Larry studied with Robert Creeley and founded Duende Press in 1964. His poetry evolved into performance with handmade masks, costumes, settings verging on the ceremonial as he continued setting up poetry events at the Living Batch Bookstore where he worked. These he recorded and they can be heard online at duende.bandcamp.com. He is now publishing books and working with his literary archives. His most recent book is Clouds – Poems 2020 to 2025. FREE!
Inpost Artspace Reception: Lost and Found
Reception: Friday, May 2, 5-7pm
Exhibition Dates: April 15- August 15
Lost and Found is an experimental exhibition that incorporates objects found around Albuquerque into a sculptural arrangement throughout the gallery and celebrates the tenure of Inpost Curators, Chandler Wigton and Lacey Chrisco, from 2021-2025. The exhibition will give a new context to discarded items, reframing them as objects that have their own melody and rhythm that transcend their functional purpose. This is the final show curated at the Inpost Gallery by Lacey Chrisco and Chandler Wigton. Their intention is to celebrate their time in their curatorial roles as well as the spirit of Outpost, a place where, as they put it, “we always found a welcome platform for our experimental ideas.” FREE.
