Muchas de las obras de arte son figurativas y creadas en una escala que crea dificultades de comprensión para los que tienen un limitado entendimiento del arte nuevo mexicano. Cada artista\, de su manera personal\, explora la identidad y su ser interior\, la historia del arte y la gran extensión del arte contemporáneo Hispano\, Chicana/o/x y Latina/o/x. \nThis exhibition is generously supported by Bank of America. \nParticipating Artists / Artistas participantes: \nVanessa Alvarado \nBeedallo \nGabriela Campos \nRubén Cantú \nPola Lopez \nAndres Martinez \nIsabela Ortega \nEric Romero \nTravis Ruiz \nMarie Sena \nVicente Telles \nDaisy Quezada Ureña \nJim Vogel \n  \nAbout the curator: \nVicente Telles is a Santero and Cultural Iconographer who is driven by the desire to honor the culture and tradition of his native New Mexico. He began painting traditional retablos using natural pigments created from clays and minerals on homemade gesso\, which is then sealed with an archival varnish. Always looking for ways to push boundaries\, his style has evolved to include various interpretations of traditional Catholic and cultural iconography\, which is evident in his social commentary retablos and his ongoing border culture series. In recent years\, Telles has worked to honor his network of fellow artists and is engaging in opportunities to expand network connections through organizing art shows throughout the southwest. Recently\, he was instrumental in organizing the multi-site exhibition Son de Allí y son de Acá in Albuquerque as well as in San Diego at Chicano Park Museum and Cultural Center. \nAcerca del curador: \nVicente Telles es un Santero y Iconógrafo Cultural que es motivado por su deseo de honrar la cultura y tradiciones de su Nuevo México natal. Comenzó pintando retablos tradicionales usando pigmentos creados de arcillas y minerales en yeserías hecho en casa que después se sella con un barniz de archivo. Siempre buscando nuevos modos de extender los límites\, su estilo se ha evolucionado para incluir varias interpretaciones tradicionales\, católicas y la cultura iconográfica\, evidente en sus comentarios sociales en sus retablos y sus series incesantes de la cultura fronteriza. En los años recientes ha trabajado en homenajear su red de artistas colegas. Está participando en las oportunidades para extender la red de conexiones a través de la organización de exposiciones de arte por todo el sudoeste. Recientemente jugó un papel importante en la organización de sitios múltiples de la exhibición Son de Allí y son de Acá en Albuquerque y San Diego en el Museo del Parque Chicano y Centro Cultural.

SUMMARY:Acequia Revitalization Project Unveiling
DESCRIPTION:12:00 – 1:00 pm \nThe National Hispanic Cultural Center and New Mexico Arts are proud to unveil a public art project transforming a concrete planter on NHCC’s campus into a dynamic\, three-dimensional mosaic inspired by New Mexico’s acequias. The Acequia Revitalization Project will be revealed to the public on Friday\, Dec. 13.  \nAcequias are the lifeblood of New Mexico\, NHCC and NMA are proud to honor the generations of New Mexican men and women who use acequias to grow crops and feed their communities. During the unveiling\, hear from Padilla and representatives from the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs\, NHCC\, NMA\, and ALMA about what makes this project special.  \nThe Acequia Revitalization Project\, aimed at reimagining the ‘Paseo Acequia\,’ a concrete\, above-ground acequia previously used as a planter on the east side of NHCC’s campus. In 2022\, Albuquerque-based painter and muralist Reyes Padilla was selected for the project. Working with students from Apprenticeships for Leaders in Mosaic Arts (ALMA)\, Padilla transformed the Paseo Acequia into a colorful artwork showcasing the multicultural history of acequia use in New Mexico through mosaic and concrete stain. Inside\, solar lights symbolize the ever-changing flow of acequias.  \nThe project was commissioned through NMA’s Art in Public Places program\, which enriches New Mexico’s public spaces through an innovative and diverse public art collection. Since it was established in 1986\, the Art in Public Places program has placed more than 3\,000 works of art in all of New Mexico’s 33 counties.
