SACRED SPACES:
DEVOTIONAL IMAGES WITH PHOTOGRAPHY BY ALEX HARRIS
October 15, 2010 – January 30, 2011
Beginning October 15, 2010 and running through January 30, 2011 the Mennello Museum of American Art is proud to exhibit Sacred Spaces: Devotional Images with Photography by Alex Harris. In this exhibition, a beautiful selection of 18th – 20th century devotional artworks including retablos (paintings on tin or wooden panels) and bultos (carvings in the round) from the nationally renowned Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center’s Hispanic Collection depict the faith of generations emerging in religious objects set in the background of everyday lives. Exploring the traditions, myths and history of Hispanic religious imagery, these small scale works and pieces of furniture speak to the delicate thread that connects us all: our humanity. Shown alongside the sacred imagery are a dramatic series of color photographs by respected American artist Alex Harris, the artist’s stunning photographs provide context for the religious objects, showing how they are used in everyday life, and the significance of a religious, cultural and artistic Hispanic tradition that goes back centuries and remains as prominent today as ever.
Sacred Spaces: Devotional Images with Photography by Alex Harris is a beautiful and powerfully moving exhibition that will educate the public about an important aspect of Hispanic art and culture, and the role of faith and spirituality in people’s lives.
Organized by Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center.
1934: A NEW DEAL FOR ARTISTS
February 3, 2011 - May 1, 2011
Faced with tough economic times during the 1930s, American artists celebrated our nation's drive and determination. This exhibition recognizes the seventy-fifth anniversary of the federal Public Works
of Art Project. Lasting only six months, from mid-December 1933 to June 1934, the New Deal program employed artists during the Great Depression and encouraged them to depict the American Scene. Drawing on the American Art Museum/s unparalleled collection of paintings, this exhibition highlights fifty-six works ranging from portraits and city scenes to landscapes and images of rural life. Created by artists from across the United States, the paintings are a lasting record of America at a specific time and embody the countries hope for a brighter future.
1934: A New Deal for Artists is organized and circulated by the Smithsonian American Art Museum with support from the William R, Kenan Jr. Endowment Fund and the Smithsonian Council for American Art. The C.F. Foundation in Atlanta supports the museum's traveling exhibition program "Treasures to Go".
