Exhibition | The Royal Breadshow by Axle Contemporary
Axle Contemporary is an art gallery that operates out of the back of a retrofitted 1970s van in Santa Fe. Mobility and engagement with the community are key features of their work. For example, we remember one Axle event where they turned the van into a kind of midway game where you could throw baseballs at smashable holograms printed on glass. It’s the kind of art that makes living in Santa Fe such a unique experience.
Their new project, The Royal Breadshow (May 2 to 11, visit www.axleart.com for daily gallery locations), draws on that concept of community. Some 269 artists created porcelain miniatures for the show. After the show’s ten-day run, these miniatures will each be baked inside loaves of artisan bread, which people can order. The loaves each come with a “festive paper crown” which has a personalized message written on it.
The loaves, which should be ordered before May 13 for the first pickup and May 20 for the second, cost about $15 each. A portion of the proceeds will go to the Food Depot in Santa Fe to help the hungry.
The Royal Breadshow won SITE Santa Fe’s community micro-grant, Spread 4.0, in October of 2013. Through the generous support of the Spread attendees, The Royal Breadshow began as a room-sized installation at SITE Santa Fe’s exhibition Feast: Radical Hospitality in Contemporary Art (February 1 to May 18th, 2014). Among other things, the installation at SITE includes writings about bread and presentations of bread and baker’s implements alongside clay and clay tools.

Susana Martinez, New Mexico Gov. in her own words
In her own words. Mother Jones releases audio of Susana’s graphic attacks on women, Hispanic business and teachers [graphic audio]
The true Susana Martinez, in her own words. That’s the first big takeaway from today’s Mother Jones article, “Is New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez the Next Sarah Palin?”
One Republican state legislator described her tactics thusly: “Nastiness, misinformation, innuendo, and flat-out lies have created a toxic political environment.”
Just a week after Martinez released her first highly-polished campaign ad denouncing her national ambitions and promoting her warm and fuzzy side, new audio recordings from inside her 2010 campaign show the sexist, belittling and vindictive nature of Susana Martinez behind closed doors.
On Teachers & Hiding Her True Positions During the Campaign
Martinez told campaign staffers she would hide her opinions on teachers during the campaign, but she didn’t like teachers who “already don’t work,” referring to summer school breaks.

She then laughs with her chief campaign strategist, Jay McCleskey, about ways to avoid accusations that she hid her true anti-teacher feelings during the campaign

On Democrats as “Little Bitches” and “Little Retards”
Susana Martinez laughs and plays along as an aide calls Ben Lujan (former Speaker of the House and father of NM Congressman Ben Ray Lujan) is a “little retard”

Martinez slams her former Democratic opponent as “that little bitch.”

Reminder: Governor Martinez has actively promoted her own advocacy for her developmentally disabled sister in campaign ads, media pieces and slickly-produced profiles of her. “Retard” as a descriptor of people like her sister has long since been considered inappropriate.
Belittling Hispanic Business Group and Women’s Job Program
Belitting the Hispano Chamber of Commerce and the Commission Helping Women Learn Job Skills and Equal Pay
Martinez dismisses the role of the “Hispano Chamber of Culture, or I don’t know what the hell it was” and Commission on the Status of Women which helps women learn job skills and advocates for policies including women in the workplace.
She laughs and agrees when her campaign manager, Jay McCleskey, makes a sexist comment suggesting one of their male campaign staffers wants to run that commission to “study more women.”

¡COLORES! New Mexico PBS weekly art series
For over 20 years, in a variety of formats, New Mexico PBS weekly art series ¡COLORES! have explored the arts, music, history and culture of New Mexico and the American southwest. ¡COLORES! stories, originating from New Mexico, continue to be seen and shared with other PBS stations across the U.S.
Vision and work of Willy Bo Richardson featured on PBS ¡COLORES! Friday February 7.
Watch Full Episode Here: “Willy Bo Richardson, The Impressionists, Regional Theater, Jack Ross”
New Mexico painter Willy Bo Richardson shares how discovering real world limitations allows him greater flexibility in the moment.
“What’s beautiful about painting is that it does everything that you want it to in that moment. So you have the materials, you have the artist and you have the action and they are all coming together instantaneously.”
The Producer of PBS art series ¡COLORES! is Tara Walch; Unit Coordinator is Kathy Wimmer. Executive Producer is Michael Kamins. Major funding for ¡COLORES! is provided in part by Frederick Hammersley Foundation.

This exhibition brings together for the first time prints and drawings by Spanish and other European artists working in Spain from the mid 16th to the early 19th century. It provides a compelling overview of more than 200 years of artistic production, including many works which have never before been on display. The New Mexico Museum of Art is the only American venue in this international tour.
Beginning with works by 16th-century artists working in and around Madrid, the selection progresses chronologically and by region. Spain’s ‘Golden Age’ (the 17th century) is represented by important artists such as Diego Velázquez, Vicente Carducho and Alonso Cano in Madrid, Bartolomé Murillo and Francisco de Zubarán in Seville, and José de Ribera in Spanish Naples.
Turning to the 18th century, key works by Francisco de Goya, his contemporaries and foreign artists such as the Italians Giambattista Tiepolo and his sons demonstrate how printmaking and drawing greatly increased during the period, forever changing the artistic landscape of Spain.
This exhibition is presented by the British Museum in collaboration with the New Mexico Museum of Art.
