THE SANTA FE ART INSTITUTE EXPLORES THE INTERCONNECTIONS OF CONTEMPORARY ART AND SOCIETY THROUGH ARTIST AND WRITER RESIDENCIES, PUBLIC LECTURES AND WORKSHOPS, EXHIBITIONS AND EDUCATIONAL OUTREACH

HALF LIFE: Patterns of Change

Cycles of Creation, Decay and Renewal in Art and Life
Santa Fe Art Institute 2011-2012 season

HALF LIFE: Patterns of Change in social, cultural, civic, environmental and artistic systems. More>

2012 Part II Schedule (pdf)

Join our visiting artists for part II of HALF LIFE as we explore questions that underlie the basic concept of half-life: how do systems age, decline, and regenerate? How can we use the artistic and creative processes to make those actions sustainable, inclusive, and effective? The artists will wrestle with complex issues such as the history of culture and society, the boundaries of cycles, how relationships with the natural environment build or destroy community, and meditations on self-identity and place.

Artists include: Theater Without Borders, Erica Scharf, Tom Shepard & Littleglobe, Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Ida Kleiterp, Nancy Holt, Amy Franceschini, Charles Lindsay, Steve Lambert, Monika Bravo, Andrea Bowers, Rulan Tangen& Dancing Earth, Courtney Martin, Jon Cary, ISEA 2012, Steve Peters, Cynthia Hooper, Hugh Pocock

An in-depth examination of Holt’s early projects from 1966 to 1980. Holt’s pioneering work falls at the intersection of art, architecture, and time-based media. The career of this important American artist took off in the late 1960s when she and other like-minded artists in the U.S. turned away from the emerging commercial gallery system to embrace the American landscape and its geological diversity. Located beyond the confines of New York gallery walls, Holt began working on large-scale outdoor projects that responded to the environment and offered novel means for observing natural phenomena.

Extraordinary

Painting a Clean Energy Future
Sol not Coal mural – A community vision


Warehouse 21, Santa Fe

Witness the harnessing of the righteous energy of young artists, and check out the 120 ft. Sol Not Coal mural that now graces the western wall of Warehouse 21. John Santos, lead designer, professional artist, and mentor, worked with youth to create this testament to clean energy. The twelve silhouettes, depicted blanketing our world with solar, are actual youth who have been photographed by Ann Staveley and their images will be wheat-pasted onto the mural. These high school and college-bound Santa Feans have been selected for their outstanding leadership and commitment to securing a future without coal in New Mexico.

Congressman Ben Ray Lujan presided over an “unveiling of the mural” and a celebration of positive civic engagement. The Sol Not Coal Mural was a community effort to visualize a brighter future where coal plants are replaced with solar farms. New Energy Economy, Santa Fe Art Institute, Youth Allies of Earth Care, and Warehouse 21, contributed to make this project possible. Also see KUNM: http://earthairwaves.wordpress.com/
