The Inpost Artspace is pleased to present a selection of historical photographs chronicling early days of Cottonwood Gulch, an expedition program that has run in the Southwest since 1926. The Cottonwood Gulch was founded by a teacher from Indiana who led educational summer treks throughout the Southwest. Traveling in a caravan of Model T station wagons, they sought “the remote and generally unknown wilderness regions” to experience a simple life, if only for the summer. The Trek represents a unique experience of place and time — stepping into unfamiliar lands and cultures, being humbled by geologic time, playing off the lore of the Old West, passing down strict traditions of keeping camp. Deep in the Gulch archives are a trove of logbooks and photographs chronicling the history of these expeditions and the evolving cultural landscape the trekkers studied. Co-curators Meggan Gould and Kacie Smith are excited to introduce highlights from the archive as stories of the outdoors, discovery, friendship, and problem-solving.

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.

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 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
