ClampArt: Willy Bo Richardson: Colophon, Artsy exclusive

ClampArt
May 9 – June 21, 2019

ClampArt partnered with Artsy, a free online platform for collecting and discovering art.

Willy Bo Richardson describes his paintings of vibrant, vertical bands of color as “philosophy in motion.” Working solely within the framework of vertical strokes, the artist uses color, proportion, and line to create works that have a physical and emotional impact on the viewer. He characterizes his practice as “a sort of meditation, a give-and-take with gravity and the universal laws that determine our experience of the physical world.” By intentionally veering away from representational or narrative imagery, he seeks to confront and convey an enduring fascination with the unchanging mind itself, actualizing through the use of color and line “a humming field [that] suspends the sensation of time.”

Artsy’s search engine and database draw connections and map relationships among works of art. Artsy is powered by The Art Genome Project , a collaboration between art historians and engineers. The Art Genome Project draws upon art-historical scholarship and artificial intelligence to assign values to artwork based on over 1211 characteristics or “genes.” These genes range from color to “Content: Private of Personal Space” to period to “Technique: Documentary Photography” to “Group Portrait.” The Art Genome Project aims to help users uncover works of art based on personal taste and preference to facilitate education and discovery of art. Matthew Israel serves as the Director of The Art Genome Project and Artsy’s Lead Curator.

Kate Noble for Mayor

Santa Fe Art Studio Endorses Kate Noble for Mayor of Santa Fe!

After almost a decade of community development work for the City of Santa Fe, Kate Noble is running for mayor. She is passionate about making our community a place where families can thrive and people of all ages can find jobs, led by a government that serves the people as efficiently and effectively as possible. Kate is driven to cultivate strong partnerships with the schools because she believes that education can transform everything.

Kate was born and raised in Santa Fe, attended the local public schools, and graduated from Santa Fe High School with honors. Upon graduation, Kate attended college at Columbia University in New York City and majored in Film Studies while working in numerous film and television internships. She was hired by BBC News after graduating from college in 1997 and worked for the next ten years as a producer, reporter, and anchor for World Business Report, the flagship business and economics program for BBC World TV.

In 2007, Kate returned home to Santa Fe with the desire to use her knowledge of business and economics to improve the economy in her beloved hometown. Kate worked in the City of Santa Fe for nine years in economic and community development, overseeing the creation of numerous award-winning and nationally recognized programs, including an Innovations in Government recognition by Harvard University for MIX Santa Fe and the launch of New Mexico’s first business accelerator. She was the speech writer for Mayor David Coss’s second term and managed numerous city wide special projects including a Budget Restructuring team in 2008 and the roll-out of the 2012 General Obligation Bond.

New Mexico Museum 100 years

New Mexico Museum of Art is closing their doors temporarily. This November, our museum turns 100 years old. This iconic structure is, in a sense, the flagship for modern Santa Fe. After all, 100 years ago our capital was neither an international art destination nor known for pueblo-revival architecture in the way it is today. This icon of Santa Fe, on its 100th birthday, deserves some attention.

In the weeks to come, restoration of this building will take place with the interest of approaching the simple elegance one would have experienced upon entering the museum in November 1917 (as in the image below from archives).

All gallery floors will be brought back to their lighter color, opening windows that have been boarded off in the past, updating our electrical systems, installing new lighting, thoroughly cleaning and restoring our classic ceilings and other woodwork, as well as renovating our lobby to improve the visitor’s experience. All this signifies the first major work done on the museum building in nearly 40 years.

Once the work is done, on Saturday, November 25, there will be the museum’s centennial celebration. New Mexicans of all ages will find fun family activities, new exhibitions, as well as our newly restored museum building to their liking.

The museum’s 100th-anniversary festivities will begin on Nov. 25, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., when the museum re-opens with a plaza-wide birthday party, held 100 years to the day after the museum first opened its doors to visitors.

Open to all who are downtown for the Thanksgiving-holiday weekend, events and activities in and around the museum will include historical reenactors as famous New Mexico artists, a photo booth, birthday cake, art-making activities for visitors of all ages, live music, small theatrical performances, curator conversations, the Wonders on Wheels mobile museum and much more.

The party is free, and everyone is invited.
