Celloquacious: I Speak Through My Cello |
|
Do you like cello? Dance? Visual projections? Celloquacious: I Speak Through My Cello, is an original album release performance and production like you’ve never heard…or seen! Decades-long cellist, composer, and interdisciplinary artist Keely Mackey emerged as Celloquacious in 2019. She’s a solo artist, amplifying and looping her acoustic cello to create a virtual cello orchestra! On August 19, join her along with dancers and movement artists for an album release performance at FUSION.
Mackey wrote this album as a love letter to Nature in music form, as gratitude for the healing she experiences when she is immersed in nature’s elements. Since Mackey composes and plays from her heart, this can be felt by her listeners. People have described Keely’s nature-inspired music as “healing: simultaneously relaxing and invigorating,” “beautifully haunting lush cello-y vibes,” and “luring sounds from antiquity.” She will engage you, surprise you, and hold space for you with this performance.
The album release is an avant-garde, interdisciplinary presentation incorporating dance and visuals to enhance the musical performance. Along with Mackey’s own macrophotography visuals, Dr. Jonathan Wolf of the nonprofit Fractal Foundation will project a live fractal in sync to Keely’s music. Movement artists will also add to this live production, including flamenca dancer and head of Albuquerque’s Casa Flamenca Carmen Valeria Montes, aerialists Summer Solon and Laura Cummins, and interpretive movement by Yoginis Erin Hansbrough and Marisol Brito.
Mark your calendars and purchase tickets for this one time special event now!
At FUSION on Friday, August 19 at 6 pm, located at 708 1st St NW.
Tickets are priced at increasingly supportive increments of the theatre and performers at $10, $20 and $30.

Eyeshine
by Adrian Pijoan
|
|
Under the moonlight a man searches for the paranormal and finds more than he expects. |
|
Exhibition Runs: August 15 - September 15
Reception + Artist Talks: Saturday, August 27, 4:30p - 6:30p
This event is free and open to the public
A strange light flashes across the night sky. Eerie sounds emanate from a thick patch of woods deep in the mountains. Something slithers beneath the moonlight. You wake from a dream and wonder if it could have been real. You wonder what “real” even means anymore.
“Eyeshine” explores an encounter with the paranormal through an installation of video, animation, and sculpture. Adrian uses his long-running paranormal researcher alter-ego, Dr. Howard, to explore his anxieties that arise from the tension between the horrific real, and the sublime unreal. “Eyeshine” is a loving and sometimes bittersweet homage to these stories and the sustenance they provide during difficult times – a vision into both outer space and inner worlds.

Corporeal Property: A Body of Work
by Juliana Coles
Remarque Print Workshop and Gallery presents new works on paper by Albuquerque artist and UETF Resident, Juliana Coles. Highly detailed, visceral, and raw mixed media works on paper combine figure drawings and hand lettered narrative with collected vintage maps. These cartographic figurative drawings, maps of the interior, serve as tangible evidence of the journey. Lonely figures, compass roses, cartouches, and rhumb lines are tools to navigate the grief of unnecessary losses; you are not here.
Exhibit dates: September 2 - October 1, 2022
Artist Reception: Friday, September 2, 5:00-8:00 PM
Gallery Talk: Saturday, October 1, 1:00-2:30 PM
