Since 1951 the Museum of Fine Arts has organized juried exhibitions that reflect the broad range of contemporary art being produced in New Mexico and the greater Southwest. Internationally, biennials have become popular formats for showcasing both emerging and more established artists. Often these exhibitions are invitational events. In contrast, the Museum of Fine Arts' juried exhibition takes the form of an open call for artists' submissions to be considered by a jury of three.
This year the jurors were Terezita Romo, executive director of MACLA/San José Center for Latino Arts; renowned painter Susan Rothenberg; and Charles Stainback, director of the Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery at Skidmore College.
THE SHOW's diverse array of work-representing all media, all styles and addressing numerous concerns-allows us to reconsider what "Southwestern art" is. Both the local and the global find their place in THE SHOW, affirming that vital creative production and artistic exchange continue to thrive in this region. |
