Hold the Presses!

Religious scholars may argue the veracity of heaven, but there is no doubt that the Tamarind Gallery in Albuquerque is the place that lithographs and prints go when they are very, very good.

On March 8th, the Tamarind Gallery held the reception for Good in the Kitchen: An exhibition curated by John Mulvany, exploring gender and scenes of domesticity. Stand out pieces included Sue Cole's "The Unspeakable Pursuing the Uneatable,"  "Tiago Gualberto's "Pay Per Doll," and Harrell Fletcher's "Holiday."

While you have missed the reception, not to worry -- I ate  your share of gallery nibbles (and they were yummy!). Also not to worry, because the show is up until March 13th. For those not fortunate enough to be in the Land of Enchantment, you may view it online: http://tamarind.unm.edu/images/online_exhibits/Good_in_the_Kitchen.pdf

The gallery on the second floor is home of changing exhibits, and  is open to the public (free of charge), displaying the work of well-known artists such as Jime Dine, Hung Li, Willie Cole, James Siena, and Jaune Quick-to-See Smith (to name just a few). Prints are also available for purchase -- The Tamarind Gallery is a place for print-makers to learn and practice their craft, and is affiliated with the University of New Mexico.
