 Please join us Tuesday, September 25th 6:00- 7:30pm for a fascinating discussion on the evolution of style, presented by ASMP NM professional photographer, Mark Berndt. Mark will talk about the stages of development in a photographer’s style using examples from his work in commercial documentary photography. He will speak simultaneously to the importance of creative development and imprinting commercial work with your own personal vision.
Mark Berndt is a self-taught photographer, film director and digital printmaker whose work celebrates people and the circumstance of life. His communication skills, acquired from 40+ years in film, photography and advertising, inform and infuse his photography.

CRITICAL MASS 2017 TOP50 SPECIAL EVENT!  For more than 40 years, Susan Ressler has been photographing affluence in America -- in particular, the power relations that inhere in corporate and consumer culture. In Executive Order (Daylight, April 2018), Ressler invites us to examine the executive boardrooms, private offices, and lobbies of businesses that became especially prominent during the 1970s in downtown Los Angeles and other urban environments in the Mountain West. Ressler's images provide a fascinating critique of corporate America during this period of explosive growth when profits were increasingly preempting people. Her work, which has an undercurrent of cool detachment coupled with a dose of irony, combines images devoid of people allowing us to see the hollowness of these modern work spaces, with portraits of employees playing the typical roles assigned to them in the new American economy. The images in Executive Order preceded and were then a part of a ground-breaking 1979-80 National Endowment for the Arts sponsored survey entitled the Los Angeles Documentary Project, intended to document life in Los Angeles during its Bicentennial. Ressler was among eight noted photographers chosen to participate, and her contribution is now recognized as an epochal and historically important record of the growth of corporate America which still resonates today. The middle section of Executive Order presents twelve images from the NEA project (from a portfolio of fifteen) which Ressler describes as among the most sterile and isolating pictures in the series. Unlike many of the other photographers of the 1970s who primarily photographed outdoors, Ressler brought the "New Topographics" aesthetic inside these soulless, claustrophobic business suites. There, she found signifiers of the new American economy at every turn - symbols of class, gender and racial hierarchies. Her 35mm camera zeroes in on the wall hangings, furniture styles and various totems of success that surround the rich and powerful. -Daylight Books Lucky us! In December of 2017 we moved and became caretakers of the beautiful and historic Irene von Horvath home in the Heart of Canyon Road. We are collaborating with Teresa Neptune of Neptune Studio and The Old Santa Fe Association (OSFA) to share the space through art exhibitions and small events. The 200+ year old house is worth a visit in itself! Double adobe brick walls, original wood floors and vigas, hand hewn doors and fixtures, and the secret (largest) garden on Canyon Road make it a very special experience of 'the old days' in Santa Fe.
We officially re-open on April 6th but you are welcome to call us at 505 570-5385 to make an appointment to stop by. We are currently showing a selection of works from exhibitions Disappearing World and Hail, Hail Rock-n-Roll and Teresa Neptune. A BENEFIT sale FOR HUICHOL ARTIST |

| Modesto Rivera Lemus is an indigenous Huichol of Nayarit. A painter and Huichol artist for 30 years, he has shared in a very special way the stories and history of his culture through paintings made of yarn and bee’s wax. In order to create his paintings, Mr. Modesto Rivera begins with a rigid wooden board made of pine. First, he spreads the bee’s wax and pine resin to cover the wood. Then he draws his designs. Lastly, he fills his detailed design by applying colored yarn. In the Huichol Culture, everything has meaning, from the creatures that live on Earth to their colors; every piece of art tells a story through the ancient language of symbols. It is through their art and stories that the Huichol give guidance and strength to the Huichol Nation. Modesto has been recognized in his community for the preservation and study of their traditions and cultural heritage. Modesto Rivera Lemus follows the ways of Huichol tradition through the Yw’rata community, located near Tepic, Nayarit, where his father, the Mara’akame (shaman), Eustolio Rivera de la Cruz, lives, hunting and cultivating the land. |

The Santa Fe Watershed Association will present an informal presentation and short video produced by the Santa Fe Photographic Workshops on the Santa Fe Watershed Association. Paige Grant, Founder of the SFWA, will speak on the reasons she founded the organization in 1997. The issues then were as complex as they are now. Andy Otto, Executive Director of the Santa Fe Watershed Association, will speak about the current threats to the river that we all know and love. These include diverting the river around the Two-Mile pond in the Canyon Preserve, the ramifications of the impairment of the water quality by bacteria, and the latest study to re-use the wastewater plant outflow water by diverting it to the Rio Grande. Issues that are potentially lethal to the Rio de Santa Fe.
