Springtime at Pie Projects

Springtime at Pie Projects

A pop-up exhibition in Santa Fe, NM featuring Daniel Ballesteros and Matthew McConville
March 31 – April 23

Reception: April 23, 5:30-7:30

Richard Levy Gallery is pleased to announce a satellite show in Santa Fe in partnership with Pie Projects. This exhibition includes four gilded photographs by Daniel Ballesteros and eleven fantastical paintings by Matthew McConville. This is the inaugural presentation by Pie Projects and the first exhibition in Santa Fe presented by Richard Levy Gallery. Appointments are being offered from April 13 – 22. There is a public reception on April 23rd from 5:30-7:30 and no appointment is required for the reception. 

A third-generation Filipino-American, Daniel Ballesteros grew up in the Midwest and never felt like he fit in. Finding solace in nature, Ballesteros began photographing urban trees. In the Gold Leaf Trees series, Ballesteros masks all elements of nature and applies gold leaf to the rest of the image. Each image is produced in an edition of three, and because the gold leaf is applied by hand, each artwork is unique.

Matthew McConville paints exquisitely detailed arrangements of imagined plant life. Influenced by traditional practices such as 18th-century Dutch painting, botanical illustration, and Japanese flower arranging, as well as current topics relating to gene modification, sustainability, and extinction. These luminescent paintings are the artist’s interpretation of future worlds.

Pie Projects is a flexible event/gallery space that hosts art-related events to support human creativity, artists, and allied organizations. Launched in 2021 by Alina Boyko and Devendra Contractor, Pie Projects is located in the Baca Railyard District in Santa Fe, NM. Springtime at Pie Projects is their inaugural presentation.

Richard Levy Gallery shows contemporary art in all mediums by emerging and established regional, national, and international artists. This year marks the thirtieth anniversary of Richard Levy Gallery.

Alexander Girard: A Designer’s Universe at Museum of International Folk Art in May 2019

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.
