Desert Stories: The Art of Kelly Frye & Jazmin Novak

Showing in the Artists Circle Gallery, Indian Pueblo Cultural Center
July 15-Oct 27, 2024

“Desert Stories: The Art of Kelly Frye & Jazmin Novak” is an artist-led exhibition collaboratively curated by Kelly Frye (Tesuque Pueblo/Mescalero Apache descent) and Jazmin Novak (Diné) of the Santa Fe, New Mexico area. Desert Stories interweaves visual narratives of the Southwest in paintings, glass, clay, and bronze artworks. In Frye’s paintings, she reorganizes geometric patterns into symphonies of color that melt into each other. In Novak’s sculpture, she uses asymmetry in her color palettes to give emphasis to certain parts of desert animals, like rabbits and coyotes. Bringing together two- and three-dimensional expressions creates an innovative take on the world of the Southwest desert as seen in the artists’ reimaginings of angular pottery designs and iconic, brush-dwelling animals. Using color as a method of disorientation, Frye and Novak make us see familiar Southwest elements in a completely different and unfamiliar light.

Frye and Novak approach the Southwest ecosystem through an art of puzzling and repositioning familiar contexts that transforms these elements into new sites of meaning. Through their practices, they reveal that there is much more to consider about the visual landscape of the Southwest than what one might see at-a-glance. They give focus to how the past continues to influence the present and future of the desert landscape.

Jazmin Novak: Booth B-01

SITE Santa Fe is pleased to present an exhibition of 23 artists and 34 artworks curated by our 2023 cohort of Young Curators exploring growth, healing, and intergenerational trauma.

Artworks in this exhibition were selected by SITE Santa Fe’s nine Young Curators through an open call for art addressing the following questions:

How has your generational trauma affected those around you and your family relationships? How has it affected the way you love yourself and others? How has your identity and the way you view it been affected by your trauma? How has your trauma affected your mental health and how has it healed?

516 ARTS announces our first exhibition of 2023, Artists as Knowledge Carriers, which features the work of New Mexico artists who are mentors of a new generation of artists. As art professors in higher education – including New Mexico State University (NMSU), the University of New Mexico (UNM), Central New Mexico Community College (CNM), the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA), and Santa Fe Community College (SFCC) – these artists are guiding emerging artists into the future. Their role is essential in cultivating critical and informed intellects in the realms of contemporary art and global culture. This exhibition looks at the artistic production of the mentors themselves, whose practices reveal their own unique visions, rigor, and dedication to their craft, including photography, sculpture, painting, film, and textile art. Artists include: Jamison Chās Banks (Seneca-Cayuga), Stefan Jennings Batista, Craig Cully, Marcella (Kwe) Ernest (Ojibwe), Welly Fletcher, Motoko Furuhashi, Mayumi Nishida, Jazmin Novak (Diné), Daisy Quezada Ureña, Jim Rivera (Yoeme/Pascua Yaqui), Carissa Samaniego, Will Wilson (Diné), and Stephanie J. Woods.

Curator Rachelle Pablo says “In the rapidly shifting era of the pandemic and social justice reckoning, art professors’ commitment to their students remains strong. Their teaching spans artistic methodologies, cultural discernment, and a variety of skills to navigate the art world and creative economy.” Artists as Knowledge Carriers is curated by 516 ARTS Curator Rachelle B. Pablo (Diné) with input from curatorial consultant Leslie Moody Castro. It is presented in conjunction with Together Through as Within at New Mexico State University Art Museum (January 20 - March 12, 2023), which focuses on NMSU Department of Art faculty and is curated by Mexico City based Leslie Moody Castro. That exhibition features the work of Christopher Barday, Tauna Cole, Craig Cully, Brita d’Agostino, Maggie Day, Jeffrey Erwin, Motoko Furuhashi, Michelle Haberl, Carissa Samaniego, Rebecca Smith, Bree Lamb/Muscle Memory + Joshua Clark/Muscle Memory.
