There is a good article on the Albuquerque art scene in THE Magazine of Santa Fe --"The Individualists":
“Having certain attitudes towards their surroundings in common, these artists do not form a ‘school’ as is usual in art colonies,” she wrote. “Indeed, ‘art colony,’ with its connotations of bohemianism, exhibitionism, and conformism, seems an inappropriate term for this group of individualists.” (Elaine de Kooning)
To an outsider, the city’s contemporary art milieu looks spare and disjointed at first glance. Albuquerque’s art history is punctuated by frustrating fits and starts, a pattern that the current scene can’t seem to shake. It’s easy to dismiss the local creative community as trapped in medias res, so mercurial in its identity that it reflexively defines itself in opposition to a more established art center sixty-five miles to the north.
Tonight is the First Friday artwalk of the New Year, and I checked the Weekly Alibi Art Event listings for tonight. I also checked the Albuquerque ArtsCrawl website.
