Our lives are all unique and intricately detailed, yet retain common traits that carry through in all cultures and generations. My soul fills with gratitude when I am able to learn from the stories of other humans, especially artists- sometimes gaining fresh realization from their woes and concerns, their passions and their love. The brush strokes show us the style of progressing through life, the color choices are their fashion and their relationships, and their choices of subject matter are their psychology, their life path.
A group of artists with the common trait of indigenous heritage show their work at the Heard Museum in Phoenix, AZ October 5, 2007-April 27, 2008. This deeply moving exhibit is entitled Remix: New Modernities in a Post-Indian World and features fifteen artists who investigate and process their experiences as indigenous artists in a modern world.
Noted chicano ‘pop-shop’ artist Luis Gutierrez from Phoenix will display three works on canvas at the Remix group show, which will continue on to the George Gustav Heye Center at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of the American Indian in New York in May 2008. Phoenix just gets better and better.
