IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts
Public Programming During Indian Market Week
Thursday, August 15, 2019 - Sunday, August 18, 2019
Drawing and Driving: Steven Yazzie presented by Axle Contemporary
Allan Houser Art Park
In February 2019, artist Steven Yazzie (Navajo/Laguna Pueblo) led a group of artists in an IAIA Museum of Contemporary Arts' (MoCNA) art-making workshop, using his custom-built
Drawing and Driving recumbent bicycle, which is part of the museum's
Art for New Understanding: Native Perspectives, 1950 to Now exhibition. Participants included IAIA art students and local artists invited by Santa Fe's mobile community artspace,
Axle Contemporary. MoCNA's goal for this program was to engage and connect both students and the Santa Fe art community with the exhibition and Yazzie's art practice. Under Yazzie's direction,
each artist draws or paints while driving the vehicle, adding a performative and community-based element to Yazzie's project. After the artworks were completed by the group, the vehicle was installed in the exhibition during its run at MoCNA. Due to great success, Axle Contemporary and Yazzie will invite more local artists to draw and drive for the project this summer. The collection of small drawings and paintings will be exhibited work in the
Axle Contemporary mobile exhibition space from late July through Aug 18, 2019. The mobile exhibition space will be located at the
IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts Allan Houser Art Park from August 15, 2019 - 18, 2019.
Artists include:
Steven J. Yazzie (Navajo/Laguna Pueblo),
Robyn Tsinnajinnie (Navajo),
Gregory Ballenger (Navajo),
Nicola Heindl, Timothy Nero, David Leigh, Susan York, Andrea Isabel Vargas, Rose Simpson (Santa Clara Pueblo),
Shakti Kroopkin, Rita Bard, Andrew Fearnside, Erika Wanenmacher, Jeff Benham, Jason Garcia (Santa Clara Pueblo),
Eliza Naranjo Morse (Santa Clara Pueblo),
Jerry Wellman, and
Matthew Chase-Daniel.
Yazzie describes the project: "
Drawing and Driving was conceived while on an artist residency at the famed
Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 2006. The experimental project became a way for me to redefine my relationship to landscape by essentially
drawing what I was seeing, while simultaneously attempting to control a descending gravity powered vehicle. The drawing vehicle became a simulated version of how I often experience the outdoors (from a perspective of a moving vehicle), which touches on the notion of technology and the speed of a contemporary life. While there are references to absurdist movements of the past, the act of drawing and driving ultimately became a true
point of contact between the natural world and the man-made one; the drawings could in a sense be created by both myself and the moving ground below me."

Tiffany Adams will be featured in the IAIA Museum Store for one day only.
Her work includes painting, jewelry, sculpture, clothing, and performance. Adams incorporates traditional California materials, such as hand cut shell work, pine nuts, dentalium and wood, into her contemporary finery which includes gold and silver. All of which can travel from the ceremony to the board room. By connecting these materials, her creations dismantle notions of "primitive art" and outdated perceptions. Adams holds a BFA from the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe New Mexico. Her work has been exhibited at the R.C. Gorman Museum at UC Davis, the Maidu Museum, Blue Line Gallery, and South Western American Indian Art Market, where she received a blue ribbon in 2014.

Film + Dialogue

This film was executive produced by actor/activist, Raoul Max Trujillo (Ute/Apache/Comanche/Pueblo/Tlascalan).
Contemporary Indigenous Discourse Series: Reconciliation Panel Discussion and Performance
3:00 pm - 5:00 pm | Allan Houser Art Park
This panel, moderated by Reconciliation guest curator and former state historian
Dr. Estevan Rael-Gálvez,
discusses Pueblo and Hispano artists' responses to the aftermath of
last year's ending of "La Entrada". Santa Fe's "Entrada" reenactment depicted a particular version of the late 17th century "re-conquest" of the region by Spanish authorities, following the 1680 Pueblo Revolt. Although the event was never universally accepted and had been resisted for decades, in 2017 protests escalated nearly to violence. Recognizing the power of art to open dialogue toward reconciliation, the panel discussion and exhibition serve as an expression of 'post-entrada' creativity in Santa Fe and surrounding communities.
Among the panelists are artists Jason Garcia (Santa Clara Pueblo); Lynnette Haozous (Chiricahua Apache/Diné/Taos Pueblo); Deborah Jojola (Isleta and Jemez Pueblos); Paula Castillo; Roger Montoya; Camilla Trujillo; Ramon Barela; and Josh Suina (Cochiti Pueblo).
The panel discussion will be accompanied by a performance by Ramon Barela. The performance will be a contribution towards reconciliation, healing and transformation through dance performance, music, and video art.
