Unlimited Boundaries
Dichotomy of Place in Contemporary Native American Art
In collaboration with the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center

January 28 - April 15, 2007

The invitational exhibition Unlimited Boundaries: Dichotomy of Place in Contemporary Native American Art features work by twelve nationally and internationally known artists from the United States and Canada, eight of whom who are from New Mexico.  The exhibition is being presented in collaboration with the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center.

The twelve artists were selected, in part, for their cutting-edge concepts as contemporary artists and also by the work they produce that in various ways corresponds to the thesis of this exhibition. Under consideration is how these individuals view themselves-as artists and, indeed, as Native American artists--and/or their cultural identities in the 21st Century.



The Albuquerque Museum will display multiple works by each invited artist while the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center will feature one small-scale work by each invited artist.

Artists who will participate in the exhibition include:

Norman Akers, Osage
Steven Deo, Creek/Euchee
Bob Haozous, Warm Springs Chiricahua Apache (Fort Sill Apache Tribe)
Gregory Lomayesva, Hopi
Nora Naranjo-Morse, Tewa
Shelley Niro, Bay of Quinte Mohawk, Turtle Clan
Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, Enrolled Flathead Salish, member of the Salish and Kootenai Nation of Montana - in collaboration with Neal Ambrose-Smith, Flathead Salish, Metis and Cree, Descendant of the Salish and Kootenai Nation of Montana
Diego Romero, Cochiti Pueblo
Duane Slick, Sac and Fox of Iowa (Meskwaki) and Winnebago of Nebraska or Ho-Chunk
C. Maxx Stevens, Seminole, Muscogee Nations of the Oklahoma Region
Emmi Whitehorse, Diné.

The Albuquerque Museum and the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center will collaborate and actively participate in educational programming and special events for this exhibition.

Opening Day Panel Discussion 1 p.m.

The panel will feature Douglas Fairfield, Ph.D., Curator of Art at The Albuquerque Museum and Unlimited Boundaries catalog essayists Dr. Cynthia L Chavez, Indian Pueblo Cultural Center and Dr. Nancy Marie Mithlo, Smith College.  Admission to the lecture and the museum is free on Sunday, January 28.  The works will be on display through April 15, 2007.
