Labors co-curators Marisa Sage and Laurel Nakadate aim to expand upon the diverse and complex conversations regarding motherhood in today’s desperate socio-political climate. Through video, painting, installation, sculpture, film and photographic works by a diverse group of artists, themes of empowerment, empathy, intimacy, selflessness, vulnerability, failure, anxiety, and choice are examined. Situated in the Borderplex region of Southern New Mexico, Labor confronts and challenges the historic, traditional and contemporary ways mothers and mothering have been represented in both art and popular culture. This exhibition strives to create a laboratory of inclusiveness and support that offers opportunities not only for internationally celebrated artists, but also for the regional community, through local programming and the exhibition of work by New Mexico based artists who speak to their own experiences relating to motherhood. The grand opening also includes a special performance by Jessica Jackson scheduled to begin at 7:15 pm. For Hutchins’s site-specific punk performance, dancers turn ceramic objects into wearable sculptures using their bodies to scoff at prescribed rituals, seeking to recreate the euphoria and pain children and mothering bring to one’s body and creative life.When:Friday, February 28, 2020 6:30 PM thru 08:30 PMWhere:New Mexico State University, Devasthali Hall, University Art Museum 1308 E University Ave, Las Cruces, NM 88003For More Info:Jasmine Herrera575-646-2545artglry@nmsu.edu Add to calendar Apple Google Microsoft 365 Outlook (desktop)Calendar ViewMember Directory | Calendar of Events | Member Account | Community Calendar of Events | Job Search | Member Promotions | News | Request for Information
