EXHIBITIONS 2021
(and ~sorta)
December 2020:
- At the end of last year (2020) John Tollett featured me in his now online gallery -- A Gallery Somewhere:
JANUARY:
- 😭I started the year with a rejection from The Drawing Center in NYC for "The Viewing Program 20/21" portfolio online exhibition. Instagram shows a selection of drawings that were not rejected.
- I was mentioned in Elizabeth Johnson's article about the artist Norm Rosenberger. They used to draw with me at the Mission Cultural Center in San Francisco in the 1990s.
- I used AR (Augmented Reality) to exhibit one of my figures in the Sculpture Garden of the Albuquerque Museum:
- Henry Morales and I made a collaborative print to send to MAPECO print studio in Uruapan, Mexico which was probably exhibited:
- Fake Louvre. Ok, John Tollett, Holly Grimm and I did not really exhibit our collaboration in the Louvre:
- AR (Augmented Reality) QR code for viewing my three figures anywhere on the new iPhones:
- I was invited to show one of my prints in the "New Mexico Print Invitational 2021" at Remarque Print Workshop in Albuquerque:
- I made AR/QR stickers of my Augmented Reality figures, which can be seen anywhere on the newer iPhones:
- In May John Tollett and I placed my Augmented Reality figures in front of the new Art Vault Gallery in Santa Fe, devoted to digital art (see YouTube):
- My 3D figure is shown on p3d:
I showed one of my 3D AI (Artificial Intelligence) print outs at the South Broadway Cultural Center in Albuquerque for the "Our Existential Space" exhibition, June 3rd - July 16th:
August:
- Manuel Guerra pressed my print on the streets of Albuquerque with a Tortilla Press during the downtown Albuquerque Art Walk on August 6th. In fact, we made Tortilla Press prints two more times in Santa Fe (August 7th and August 27th ).
- I contributed a VQGAN creation to the online Abraham.ai project:
OCTOBER:
In Silver City, New Mexico they exhibited my print exchange print during the Southwest Print Fiesta 2021:
- I sent a jpg of my skull drawing to Los Tres Gatos in Guadalajara, as they were going to print out photocopies of all the submissions and paste them up in a big display of Tzompantli (an Aztec skull rack):
In December I discovered that Xavier and Alejandra pasted all those skulls up in "Panteon de Mezquitan" in Guadalajara:
- I had a print in the Ambos Lados International Print Exchange exhibition at Casa Ortiz in Socorro, Texas, just south of El Paso -- from November 5th to November 31st:
Next stop: Exhibition in Albuquerque in January 2022, at the Outpost Performance Space.
- I discovered that my AI (Artificial Intelligence) dataset of drawings was posted on GitHub -- justinpinkney/awesome-pretrained-stylegan2. I learned this when Mark Hanslip asked permission to use it, and of course I said yes (see his GitHub). I was delighted that someone would consider using it. (It is also mentioned in filipecalegario's and anasir514's GitHubs):
UPDATE (January 2022): Mark Hanslip used my drawing model in the second phase of his audio-visual commission -- Ganderings -- for the Manchester Jazz Festival 2022:
- My fake exhibition in a Brussels Museum (courtesy PhotoFunia):
DECEMBER:
- My AI figure drawing faked on a building in LA or other big city (courtesy PhotoFunia) :
I had my first BUCKET EXHIBITION of prints during the drawing group at the North Fourth Art Center in Albuquerque. This is the follow up to Ambos Lados, showing only about ten 8 x 8 inch prints:
I created a 3D online virtual gallery on Cryptovoxels of the collaboration pieces I created in 2021, with John Tollett and Holly Grimm of the Santa Fe Tuesday night drawing group:
Other Exhibitions
- Mexic-Arte in Austin continued to show many of the prints into 2021, from the Desert Triangle Print Carpeta as part of the exhibition: Mexico, the Border and Beyond: Selections from the Juan Antonio Sandoval Jr. Collection Exhibition. Sadly art collector Juan Sandoval passed away on January 6, 2021.
- Mexic-Arte posted a video of the exhibition, and I posted screen shots of our prints on my blog:
- Also Zeke Peña's Desert Triangle print was being shown at the Smithsonian Museum of American Art in Washington DC, as that show continued into 2021 -- ¡Printing the Revolution! The Rise and Impact of Chicano Graphics, 1965 to Now.
Both of these exhibitions started in 2020 during the Covid Pandemic, but continued into 2021. My work was not represented, but organized the Desert Triangle Print Carpeta.
Manuel Guerra's print for the IPE 2021 (International Print Exchange in England) was posted on their website, along with the prints of other El Paso/Horned Toad printmakers -- Gummi Thordarson, Adriana Zavala, and Susan Gonzalez:
January:
We missed the Tucson Sculpture Festival 2021, however Joshua Woodhall posted an online video tour of the exhibition:
I had something to do with the Tucson Sculpture Festivals in the past, from 2012 - 2015.
February:
- Tanya Rich and I surfaced in a YouTube video posted by Octavio Irving, a printmaker in Havana:
Manuel Guerra of Horned Toad Prints was one of the judges for the Miniprint project of Ecuador, Colombia and Mexico, sponsored in part by Taller Grafica Libre of Zaachila, Oaxaca:
- Tanya Rich drove away all my framed print collection, to hang in her house in Florida, and perhaps exhibit in other venues. Prints are made to be seen, so they are in much better hands hanging on her walls than they are stored in boxes in my small dwelling:
She was there when I bought half of those prints.
Bob Richardson from the Santa Fe Tuesday night drawing group had a write-up in Vasari online magazine.
