Opening Reception for Manmade
New Mexico Museum of Art
5:30 PM - 7:30 PM
Notions of Landscape from the Lannan Collection
Manmade: Notions of Landscape from the Lannan Collection features the work of nine artists whose work is an exploration of man and the landscape—not landscape in its most literal sense, but landscape as a construction of meanings and relationships that are always morphing, growing, decaying, and exploding. These various facets of landscape include the natural, the cultural, the social, and the political.
The artists in the exhibition are Debbie Fleming Caffery, Thomas Joshua Cooper, Olafur Eliasson, Roni Horn, An-My Lê, Sarah Pickering, Victoria Sambunaris, Robert Smithson, and James Turrell.
Free Friday Night admission. This exhibition is made possible through the generosity of the Lannan Foundation, Friends of Contemporary Art (FOCA), Doug Ring and Cindy Miscikowski, Jacqueline and Richard Schmeal, Pat and James Q. Hall, and Marjorie R. and William J. Salman.

Lecture by photographer Thomas Joshua Cooper
New Mexico Museum of Art
6:00 PM - 7:00 PM
Thomas Joshua Cooper will discuss his epic project “An Atlas of Emptiness and Extremity,” which he has been working on since 1990. With an 1898 field camera, Cooper has traversed the extreme edges of the entire Atlantic Basin, photographing the points where land and sea meet, and the moments of human history which have transpired at those sites yet which remain hidden beneath the surface. His large-scale selenium and gold chloride-toned gelatin silver prints record the sublime beauty of the Atlantic Ocean, the body of water that has mediated the collision of Old and New Worlds. He has said of his artistic practice, “The pictures describe an encounter, exploration and experience with a recognizable but unidentifiable space that might accurately be called a ‘Terra Incognita.’”
Lecture, Thursday, October 15, 6 p.m. St. Francis Auditorium, NM Museum of Art Free admission.
