Off the Record features a selection of 36 jazz record covers representative of American jazz history, with accompanying responses to the albums by local artists Lea M. Andersson, Karsten Creightney, Arden Hendrie, Karl Hofmann, Emily Howe, Hollis Moore, Reyes Padilla, Jackie Riccio, and Kacie Erin Smith. The invited artists each selected one album to use as inspiration for their own visual response. The album selection was chosen by Albuquerque’s Thomas Dodson, who has collected approximately 1,000 LPs over the last sixty years. For Thomas, “Cover art brings to mind the recordings, as documents of specific performances, which in turn allow us to recall memories, both musical and non-musical … When I listen to them, I marvel at the artistry of these musicians and I am reminded of the contexts in which they were created.” The digitized collection of album covers can be see at http://tomsvinylcollection.tumblr.com/
This exhibit coincides with the 11th Annual New Mexico Jazz Festival, which runs July 14 – 31 and features local as well as world-renowned artists and jazz masters. Following the reception of Off the Record, the Outpost will host a free screening of Charles Lloyd: Arrows Into Infinity from 4-6pm, a documentary about NEA Jazz Master, saxophonist, Charles Lloyd.

The Inpost Artspace is pleased to exhibit An Island Emerging, selected works from Kaelen Green. Her graphite drawings convey haunting, dream-like narratives, highlighting her ability to render imagined spaces with stunning precision. Through detail that reminds us of our own familiar reality, she admits us into lyrical and surreal creations, placing the viewer in emotional landscapes and among compelling figures. Based in Santa Fe, Green is currently developing an illustrated novel, a visual and narrative mythology that unfolds on an island of mysterious origin called Asphodel. The exhibition will include a number of works created for her forthcoming book.

Surface City showcases works by Albuquerque artists Tamara Zibners and Jazmyn Crosby, who represent the streets of Albuquerque and power of the surface in distinct ways. Through a transfer process, Zibners removes the photograph from its paper support, stretching and reshaping the emulsion, teasing it to a point between crumpled detritus and precious object. Crosby builds up relief prints through the tread marks of relentless automobile traffic, also asking us to question the delicacy and specificity of the image. Reflecting a curiosity about their surroundings, the artists present us with the tension between the crudeness of the images’ provenance and the resultant works of monumental, and surprising, beauty.
Exhibition Dates: March 1 – April 30

During September and October, the Inpost Artspace will present the work of Katelyn Bladel and Eugene Ellenberg, both MFA candidates at the University of New Mexico. Originally from Minnesota, Bladel’s current work leads her to rural, abandoned homes in search of fragments of what once was. Across county lines and after days spent on the road, her documentation and experience of these spaces are recontextualized through various media to create a narrative and instill value in these homes once again. Ellenberg, a native to South Carolina, uses image-based media to explore obstacles of intimacy as experienced throughout the human condition. His own fears, failure and wonder inform a creative inquiry into private and communal spaces to unveil vulnerabilities, address hesitations and encourage curiosities. The universal themes examined by both artists serve as quiet reminders of places we cannot return to, experiences imagined and yearnings unfulfilled.
Exhibition Dates: September 4-November 1
