Gallery Shows & Events
Rail Trail Art & Technology Internet of Things Exhibition - Opens Thursday, May 2 from 4-7 p.m. The exhibit is free and open to the public and on view through June 7.
The City of Albuquerque's Public Art Program is pleased to feature an exhibition of 10 local artists' proposals and prototypes for public artworks that could someday be enlarged and installed along the proposed Rail Trail. Working in partnership with the City's Department of Technology & Innovation and the CNM Ingenuity's Internet of Things (IoT) and Rapid Prototyping Bootcamp coding program, two groups of artists learned how to blend public art concepts with basic internet driven technology to create interactive and science based public art prototypes.
Over two CNM semesters, 10 artists were selected to participate in a special artist focused technology course offered through the CNM Ingenuity's IoT and Rapid Prototyping Bootcamp. The bootcamp provided education and training to build devices and experiences with smart connect computing suitable for temporary public art applications. The goal was to train artists who seek to include a digital/technology component to their traditional public art practice and commission 10 experimental, temporary works of art that are examples of how technology and art can be combined along the Rail Trail. All 10 IoT prototypes, plus an historical "art and technology" public artwork from the City's collection commissioned in 1986, will be on display in Gallery One.
Participating artists include Jame Black; Adrian Pijoan; Owen Schwab; Katie Neeley; Viola Arduini; Zuyva Sevilla; Emily Silva; Evelyn Rosenberg; CK Cooper; and Celestino Crowhill.
Be sure to check out the May 2024 episode of the Public Art Take Another Look Podcast that will feature the CNM Course Instructor, Brian Rashap; DTI Director, Mark Leech; and IoT Artist, Celestino Crowhill.
2024 Employee Art Exhibit - Opens Wednesday, March 27, 2024 with a opening reception from 4-7 p.m. The exhibition will be on view through April 19 and is free and open to the public.
Gallery One is proud to present the 3rd Employee Art Exhibit curated by Augustine Romero. The Employee Art Exhibit creates an opportunity to get to know your co-worker from a different point of view. The ability to share the creative spirit is a welcomed departure from the serious task of City employment. This is an exciting show to watch blossom into an exhibit that feels very welcoming and spontaneous.
The exhibition has artwork by 71 City employees representing every City department, including original music compositions by employees that will be sonically curated for the exhibition.
A Day in the Life - Opens Friday, January 5, 2024 with a reception and City Hall Public Art Open House from 5-8 p.m. The exhibition will be on view through March 7.
24 hours can change a life in the simplest of ways. A hot meal delivery. Finding a puppy a forever home. Or helping someone plan dreams for their family. City of Albuquerque workers do all that and more in a day. They know the depth of work it takes to make change happen for people who count on the city to work for them.
Seven local photographers sought to reveal the human side of city government. Assigned or 'embedded' with a selected department for 24 hours, they documented the people who make our city run. "A Day in the Life" is a study of how we are all an important part of improving our Quality of Life.
The exhibit features photographs by Max Woltman, Sean Wright, Angel Gil Lopez, Jessica Lozoya, Adrian Martin, Jessica Roybal, and Pico del Hierro-Villa; and highlights the work of seven city departments: Senior Affairs, Arts & Culture, Solid Waste, Parks and Recreation, Animal Welfare, Albuquerque Community Safety, and Planning. The exhibit also features poetry by Hakim Bellamy and an installation in the Art Vault by Adrian Pijoan.
Each series of photographs in this Inaugural Gallery One exhibit will also be installed in the Albuquerque Museum of Art and History Photo Archives.
