My outdoor exhibition Chairhenge (How to Sleep Through Falling Silences) will open this Saturday, December 4th at The Helene Wurlitzer Foundation of New Mexico. The text of Steve Biko and other African poets will accompany the interactive art installation. Because of COVID regulations, we ask that you bring your own earphones for the audio experience.
I have collected found objects between Californian and New Mexican refuse centers and sculpted layers of traditional adobe and a turmeric patina. I am inviting the public to take a seat to listen to the Earth, ancestors, and poetry while being grounded in the land (traditional land of the Taos Pueblo).
The installation is in the front alfalfa field of the campus.
Saturday, December 4th, 1 pm – 3 pm. 218 Los Pandos Rd
