Exhibition: January 3 – February 28, 2014 | Opening Reception: Friday, January 3rd, 2014 (5-8pm)
Inpost Artspace and Albuquerque-based artist Karsten Creightney are pleased to present, black and white, an exhibition of recent prints that explore themes of loss and renewal. As an insightful contrast to his carefully chosen colorful juxtapositions that typically pervade his paintings and prints, the work in black and white, references his interest and inspiration with more minimal, German expressionist relief prints. Highlighting the stark yet elegant qualities of color in its most reduced forms, these works both celebrate and attempt to capture and recreate that same raw, direct nature of the mark making process and invite the viewer to contemplate their beauty.

Karsten Creightney received his BA from Antioch College and MFA from the University of New Mexico. His work has been exhibited nationally at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art, Detroit Institute of Art, Flint Institute of Art, and the Springfield Museum of Art. His work resides in both national and international collections. He currently teaches intermediate and advanced printmaking at the Institute for of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe. www.creightney.com

Nina Elder’s paintings are objective contemplations of fracking structures, hydroelectric dams, telecommunication towers, airports and military bases. Painted in a style that is as coolly engineered as the industry that they represent, this disarmingly beautiful body of work quietly poses questions of human industriousness and our dominion over natural landscapes.
About the artist: Nina Elder is a painter, drawer, construction worker, and farmer. She grew up in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and New Mexico where she cultivated a curiosity about gravel pits, mines, and lumber mills. Her work examines the visual evidence of land use in the American West and its cycles of production, consumption, and waste. After earning her MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute, Nina returned to northern New Mexico where she co-founded an off-the-grid artist residency program called PLAND: Practice Liberating Art through Necessary Dislocation. Through paintings, drawings, and installations, she endeavors to illuminate that the contemporary landscape is the physical manifestation of modern needs, economies, policies, and powers. Nina’s work is exhibited and collected nationally, and has been included in publications such as Art in America and New American Paintings.
Exhibition Dates: September 6 – October 25, 2013 | Opening Reception: Friday, September 6th, 2013 (5-8pm)

Some Jazz Photographs by Mark Weber
Mark Weber is a writer who sometimes takes pictures. Trained in photography under Jeff Cole at Upland High School, (40 miles east of L.A.) he covered the Los Angeles jazz scene for CODA from 1976-1986 (and thereafter from other locales around the U.S.). He has been the Thursday jazz host on KUNM for seventeen years. His deposit of 10,000+ photos and hundreds of interviews are at UCLA in the “Mark Weber Archive of Blues & Jazz” collection. See his website JAZZ FOR MOSTLY for essays and photos. Technical support and enthusiasm for this show provided by Cal Haines and Janet Simon. Describing the photographs for this show, Mark says, “It seems like something that has always been here, but it hasn’t, it resides in the future and we only glimpse it’s full meaning in fleeting intervals, a coiled arpeggiated chord, a horn like the distant freight train across town, a saxophonist passing through whose name you didn’t catch, played the jazz that relaxed the clock, set time down for a little talk, not so important except it is good to anticipate the eventuality….”
