OBSOLESCENCE AND OPULENCE: RECENT WORKS BY SHERI CRIDER

Reception: March 3, 5 – 7pm (First Friday ARTScrawl)

This event is part of Women & Creativity Month

The Inpost Artspace is delighted to present a solo exhibition of new work by Albuquerque artist and curator, sheri crider. Crider’s current body of work examines our culture’s fascination with bright, shiny things. This series of paintings and sculpture oscillates from imagery of multi-billion dollar construction projects to still-life imagery of personal collections of trinkets and debris from landfills, deftly combining real and imagined spaces.

Exhibition Dates: February 27 – April 16, 2017

BY A THREAD

Opening Reception: Friday, February 3, 2017, 5 – 7pm

Diversity, subtlety and tradition are celebrated in this exhibition of weavings by Elizabeth Buckley, Mary Rawcliffe Colton, Cindy Dworzak, Naomi Julian, Dan Klinglesmith, Cristine Posner, Eric-Paul Riege, Nick Clifford Simko, Jaye Whorton and Nancy Wohlenberg. In hand-dying yarn, weaving upside down on a French jacquard loom, or collaborating with a commercial loom, each of these local artists finds unique inspiration in their process. The textiles represent the urge to bring things together and reinvigorate the ancient human activity of weaving.

EXHIBITION DATES: January 16 – February 25, 2017

HILO: Season Evans, Katie Ford, Rachel Hayes, Joanna Keane Lopez, Sarah Vosmus

Opening Reception: Friday, December 4, 5 – 8pm

HILO is an exhibition of contemporary textile artists from across the country. Textiles have the power to draw us in: reminding us of the familiar and functional, reflecting community and surroundings. The artists play with these connotations through diverse and innovative methods of making. From weaving from hand-spun wool to constructing translucent vinyl banners and elegant bed-sized compositions, the artists draw from traditions in ways that are decidedly their own.

Exhibition Dates: November 23 – January 31

Noah McLaurine: [Tension Building Music]

Opening Reception: Friday, September 2, 5 – 7pm

[Tension-Building Music] presents the recent work of Noah McLaurine, who has been exploring and photographing public lands and monuments in New Mexico since moving from Brooklyn two years ago. McLaurine’s curiosity about the natural and cultural forces that shape the unique landscape have led him to revel in the ubiquitous signs of erosion and change: the subtle marks a plant makes in the sand, enigmatic shards of metal and detritus, weather patterns hinting at atomic explosions. Wrestling with cultural artifacts surrounding Los Alamos and the Trinity Site, McLaurine notices the mountains rising in the distance, shaped by thousands of years of rain and wind, some of the only witnesses to the abrupt and radical transformation of the test site. His work highlights evidence of erosion both gradual and abrupt, how boundaries have been drawn and redrawn, and stories relentlessly written and rewritten.

Exhibition dates:  August 29 – November 5, 2016
