In the late 1960s, the University of New Mexico played a key role in bringing together creativity and technology in what was then the nascent field of computer art. Now a new book from Museum of New Mexico Press offers the first in depth account of this early digital creativity — “Sharing Code: Art1, Frederick Hammersley, and the Dawn of Computer Art.”
Frank says it was a unique period in the evolution of digital art, and in 1968 New Mexico was the perfect place for it to happen.

The Fulcrum Fund, a grant program of 516 ARTS and a partner in the Regional Regranting Program of The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, announces a second round of emergency relief grants to benefit the local arts community. In partnership with the Frederick Hammersley Foundation, which is providing $60,000 toward this effort, this round will provide grants of $5,000 to 12 alternative art spaces in New Mexico that have lost income as a result of the cornavirus/COVID-19 pandemic.
Round #1 (deadline was April 15), we received 389 applications for 60 $1,000 grants to individual artists living and working within an 80-mile radius of Albuquerque. Round #2 provides a focus on artist-run and alternative artspaces, which has been a category of projects recognized by the Fulcrum Fund for the past four years. This dispersal of funds is part of an effort to help sustain these spaces until they can reopen after the pandemic. Continue reading “Fulcrum Fund Emergency Relief Grants”

Participating Designers:
The Museum of International Folk Art is presenting the traveling exhibition A Designer’s Universe, an exhibition organized by Vitra Design Museum. One of the most influential interior and textile designers of the 20th century,
This is the first major retrospective on Girard’s work. The exhibition opens May 5 and runs through October 27, 2019.
Girard was also a pivotal figure in the history of the Museum of International Folk Art, donating more than 100,000 objects from his and his wife Susan’s folk art collection, and in 1981 creating the museum’s long-term, beloved exhibition Multiple Visions. Girard’s playful designs attest to a passion for colors, ornamentation, and inspirations from folk art.
The exhibition and public programs illuminate the relationship of folk art to modernism and design. In conjunction with the Girard exhibition at MOIFA, two other Santa Fe cultural institutions – the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum and the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) Museum of Contemporary Native Arts (MoCNA) – will explore the concept and practice of design from three unique perspectives: Girard’s impact on the American aesthetic; his imprint on Santa Fe; and the dynamic field of Native design centered in Santa Fe.
IAIA will host a student design competition in conjunction with the museum exhibits and public programs.
The exhibition Alexander Girard: A Designer’s Universe is organized by Vitra Design Museum, Weil am Rhein, Germany. Global sponsors are Herman Miller and Maharam.
