Harwood AnthologyRelease Party

Open Studio Night at Harwood

The Harwood Anthology hasbeen long in the making - from thevery first Harwood Review to thecollaborative All as One with VSANorth Fourth Art Center, to theday we started tossing around theidea of a collection. And here itis: an anthology of poets in theNew Mexico & Harwoodcommunity! The beautifulHarwood Anthology, designed by JB Bryan of La Alameda Press,is the first book to come out ofHarwood’s Old School Books. It

is full of great poems by NewMexico poets both in state andout on adventures, and SallyCondon’s gorgeous painting “Joy”graces the cover. (Thank you,Sally!!) The Harwood Anthology islovely and we’re so proud of it.Come help us celebrate on April21st. The line-up of Anthologypoets reading includes DannySolis, Lisa Gill, Arthur Sze, CarolMoldaw, Jimmy Santiago Baca,B.A. Wingate and Gary MexGlazner, and many more.

I read the Harwood Anthology with a great deal of pleasure and a satisfying sense of fulfillment. These bards of Burque (and beyond)create worlds that are intense and magical; we are fortunate to have such fine poets in our own backyard. There is diversity, talent,and genius in these poems. . . We live in critical times, and we need to hear the voices of these true legislators of our humanity.–Rudolfo Anaya

TumultW. Howard BrandenburgHarwood Main GalleryMarch 3 – March 30Reception: March 17Friday, 5 PM to 8:30 PM(an ArtsCrawl Event)My paintings revolve aroundhumanity, both physical andbehavioral. In the past I havefocused on the unifying qualities thatwe share, paintings depicting ourefforts and the progress of ourspecies. In contrast, the paintings Ichose for this exhibition represent adifferent aspect of humanity. Theideas rooted behind the layers ofpaint and composition are derivedfrom metaphor, dreams, fairytales,and the natural world in response torecent political and social tides inAmerica. This series of paintings,produced after 2001, exploresaspects of human behavior thatstrain the modes of reason,compassion, and community. Theseare visuals that examine theharshness of our human choices insubtle and blunt renderings. Myworks are not meant to be static tothe viewer. I hope to provokeengagement and contemplation ofthe ideas through the use ofmovement, repetition,superimposition, size and multiplesurfaces, luring the viewer deeperinto the paintings while keeping theimage neoteric and in flux.

ContemporaryCorsetsCharmaine G. BrownHarwood South GalleryMarch 3 – March 30Reception: March 17Friday, 5 PM to 8:30 PM(an ArtsCrawl event)Corsets are classic garments thatenhance a person’s life with beauty,style, and excitement. Enthusiasmfor corsetry has increased overrecent decades. A corset that fitsproperly provides comfortable bodysupport, defined figure shaping, anda smooth silhouette. Corsetry in itsextreme form (termed tight-lacing) isviewed as a form of bodymodification similar to the physicalalterations of body building, bodypiercing, and tattooing.

In this exhibition corsets arepresented as both exquisite sculpturalobjects and items of high couturefashion. These one of a kind steel-boned corsets are created by artistand couturiere Charmaine G.Brown.

The Sand FromMy Pockets Is TheDust In Our LungsMichael Borowski Harwood South GalleryApril 3 – April 26Reception: April 21Friday, 5 PM to 8:30 PM(an ArtsCrawl event)Through his artwork MichaelBorowski explores the landscapeand what it means to its inhabitants.His photographs challenge thetraditional modes of representinglandscape. The images from thisbody of work represent placesthrough small found objects, ratherthan photographing the land itself.These objects act as metaphors forplaces, either geographic orideological, by creating a spark ofa story or memory that is unique toeach viewer. These images representplaces that cannot be contained in aframe or hung on a wall but ratherexist in our collective memories andimaginations.

Stitching TimeTogetherThe PinholeTheater ProjectJyl KelleyHarwood Main GalleryMay 8 – May 31Reception: May 19Friday, 5 PM to 8:30 PM(an ArtsCrawl event)Producing photographs and videoanimations with pinhole imageryfrees Jyl Kelley to see beyondmodern magic and illusion. Herstage takes the shape of a circle.The inner arena consists of up to 33pinhole cameras arranged ontripods. In the final images, thecameras are always visible.Animated video loops areconstructed by scanning the pinholecamera’s negatives. The extendedpinhole exposures in the digitalphotographs reveal the physicalprocess and become the thread thatstitches time back together. Stillimages and animations are showntogether in theatrical installations.Kelley’s arena creates photographicperformances that harken back to atime when photography wasconsidered modern magic. Themagic is not in isolating a briefmoment in time, but its ability tostitch time back together.

Sports Animal Julianne HarveyHarwood South Gallery May 8 – May 31Reception: May 19Friday, 5 PM to 8:30 PM(an ArtsCrawl event)Animals are represented in the worldof competitive sports as mascots,totemic symbols and even asscapegoats. Their significancecorresponds with the fluctuatingrelationships humans have with thesepowerful animals in the naturalworld. The savagery and elusivemagical qualities valued in the“sports animal” create a dichotomyoutside the arena. Humans bothemulate and have disdain for manyof these creatures. Competitioninvolving actual animals or animalssymbolically representing a team areaddressed in this series. I aminterested in the many aspects ofanimals as they are revealed inmetaphoric content, social context,and meaning in sports culture. Thephysical and spiritual realms of the“sports animal” are a continuedsource of inspiration for my work.

Shape NoteSingingShape up and sing! Experience theliving tradition of Shape NoteSinging. Also called Sacred Harpsinging, the music is rugged andsoulful American harmony, sung forpleasure (not for performance.) Wesing to and for each other, four-partharmony - treble, tenor, alto, base -arranged in a hollow square. Wesing from “the Sacred Harp”, a tunebook originally published 160years ago, although the traditionhas its roots even further back, incolonial New England. From there,the music migrated to the ruralSouth, where it has been sung forgenerations in the beautiful, old,wooden churches found along theback roads. The Folk revival of the‘60’s and 70’s saw the musicexpand to the urban Midwest andWestern states. The AlbuquerqueShape Note singers have beenmeeting since 1990.
