Join us for a discussion of the exhibition, Lightspace, with artist Zuyva Sevilla and members of the Albuquerque Astronomical Society, including astrophotographer Joey Troy, and physicist and astrophotographer Christopher Mauche. This exhibition, which is currently hanging in the Inpost Artspace, explores the overlap between art and science and pairs Sevilla’s digitally simulated images of photons with photographs of the cosmos by Mauche and Troy. The talk will explore how Sevilla’s micro-exploration of photons shares many similarities in process and visuals with Mauche and Troy’s photographs of the vastness of space. Following the talk, enjoy star gazing with a telescope in the Outpost courtyard! Free!

Outpost’s Spring 2025 season opens with New Mexico’s own, renowned tenor saxophonist Doug Lawrence y sus Nuevos Mexicanos, his esteemed New Mexico group featuring Steve Figueroa, piano and organ; Paul Gonzales, trumpet; Milo Jaramillo, bass; Ricky Carrido, congas; and David Flores, drums. The band, last heard at the Route 66 Summerfest in 2023, has appeared several times at Outpost, and they return to perform their signature mix of jazz music with a Latin flavor and an emphasis on groove, blues and melodies. Their goal is for audiences to have a great time and to feel good listening to the music. Lawrence notes that the music is “sure to have the audience dancing in their seats! I guarantee they will be leaving our performance with a smile on their face and a song in their heart!” Born in Louisiana and raised in New Mexico, Doug Lawrence spent over 25 years making a name for himself in New York City. He has performed and recorded with iconic artists including Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, Sarah Vaughan, Tony Bennett, Aretha Franklin, Dizzy Gillespie, Celia Cruz, Benny Goodman, Stevie Wonder and many others and for the last 20+ years, he has been the featured tenor saxophone soloist with the multi-Grammy® award-winning Legendary Count Basie Orchestra. He continues to perform and record with many of todays’ leading artists including Dee Dee Bridgewater, George Cables, Peter Bernstein, Lady Gaga and others.

November 7 – March 23
This exhibition combines works by Zuyva Sevilla with images of the cosmos taken by members of The Albuquerque Astronomical Society Christopher Mauche and Joey Troy. Lightspace celebrates a sense of wonder and mystery present in Sevilla’s illuminated, digitally layered images of projected light and Mauche and Troy’s photographs of space. Though each image-maker uses very different methods, the images convey a similar mood and appearance. Lightspace is an experiment in honoring light in its purest form, and an invitation to consider the awesomeness and grandeur the universe has to offer.

This Inpost Artspace photo exhibit features two dedicated jazz fans/photographers who have frequented Outpost shows ever since each of them moved to Albuquerque. They are an intrinsic part of Albuquerque’s celebrated jazz scene. We decided to let them use their own words to define the show and their artistic approaches. Mark Weber: “Photographs inhabit the 4th dimension, they are shadows & light of what has passed, five days ago or 25 years bygone. I take them for memory. Sentimental. First time I watched the ghost of an image appear in a developing tray it blew my mind. I was like the wildman Enkidu seeing Babylon for the first time. As to my aesthetic, it’s a bit sideways of prevailing practices . . . For the most part I’m a documentarian in the anthropological sense: A jazz scene includes artists, instrument repair techs, promoters, deejays, record stores & record collectors, journalists, priests, recording studios, historians, photographers, hagiographers, club owners, university jazz departments, agents/managers, and the audience. Is there a narrative to this show? Yup. It’s the community of listeners and musicians that have grown up around the Outpost. My favorite jazz photographer (besides, Roch) is William Gottlieb, who knew that jazz is a culture and photo’d it in its natural habitat: the jazz club of the 40s & 50s. Like any art form, one must be decisive, and with photographing music concerts there’s an etiquette, unspoken, but if you don’t pick up on it, you won’t last – it involves common decency, patience, tact, and mostly the fact this is the audience’s concert, not yours.” Roch Doran: “My goal is to document what I see without ever changing the experience of those that may be sharing that space in time with me. The challenge is to see beyond the obvious and to capture what is unique in that solitary moment. After years of being in a band that had dissolved more into talking about music than playing music, I was in heaven when I got my first camera. The camera gave me the freedom to share something about my world without hours of conversation. Since 1977, when I began this journey, my two loves have been constant, nature and documenting people creating music. Over the years the technology has changed and I have gone from film to transparencies, back to film, to digital and now digital with a mirrorless camera. While the tools have changed, the objects of my interest have not.”
Led by renowned Albuquerque-based drummer Cal Haines, a long-time friend and associate of Mark Weber, The Cal Haines Quartet, which took home three awards at this year’s New Mexico Music Awards, also features David Parlato, electric bass; Alex Murzyn, tenor sax & flute; and Adolfo Acosta, trumpet & flugelhorn. The group plays original compositions and beloved standards, but with an open, chordal-free format (i.e. no guitar or piano). FREE!

Inpost Artspace Reception
Saturday, February 5th, 5-7pm
(Exhibition Dates: January 24- April 29, 2022)
Curated by Chandler Wigton and Lacey Chrisco, Ambos Lados is an exhibition of 158 prints from artists in 6 countries, primarily Mexico and the United States, including 18 artists from New Mexico and several Albuquerque artists.
Ambos Lados, which translates as “both sides” in Spanish emerged out of a print exchange organized on both sides of the border by Manuel Guerra, Director of Horned Toad Prints in El Paso and Adrian Aguirre and Beatriz Rivas of Taller Gráfica Libre in Zaachila, Oaxaca. The prints and larger project emphasize the unity of artists and peoples across the political border of the United States and Mexico. While there was no set theme for the exchange, many of the works explore political and social issues, specifically the border, while others are contemplative, humorous, or abstract. The print exchange, organized in 2018, was unjuried and open to anyone who wished to participate, the only rule for the exchange was a uniform print size. The prints included in the show utilize a range of printing techniques including lithographs, serigraphs, relief, and intaglio. Egalitarian in nature, the project connected artists from a range of professional, ethnic, and geographic backgrounds and the exhibition puts these perspectives in conversation. The prints emphasize how artistic expression is a unifying force across different kinds of borders and divides.
An accompanying catalog will be available for purchase at the Outpost or on amazon.
