Invisible is a journey across cultural borders that features mixed media paintings, watercolor on paper, and ceramics adorned with found objects by New Mexico-based artist Bunny Tobias. This exhibition presents landscapes, collaged improvisations, and unpredictable associations informed by Tobias's study of Eastern literati such as Matsuo Bashō, Kobayashi Issa, and Laozi; Western literary figures, such as Jack Kerouac, Fernando Pessoa, Walt Whitman, and Virginia Woolf; as well as her experience as a pioneer of San Francisco’s psychedelic surrealist movement (1960s–70s).

John Ninnemann’s photography, “Archaeoastronomy: Sky Watchers of the Ancient Southwest,” provides a window into the sophisticated culture of the Ancestral Puebloans who once lived on the Colorado Plateau. It’s clear that the people tracked time, creating calendars based on sunrise/moonrise movement of the sun and moon in relation to both natural and human-caused features on the landscape. This knowledge was essential for agriculture as well as for guiding architectural orientation and ceremony. The exhibit documents sky-watching locations in Mesa Verde National Park, Chaco Culture NHP, Chimney Rock, and Yucca House National Monuments.

Samples of Ninnemann’s work are available his website.

Tales from the Edge of Americana is an exhibition of mixed media paintings and monoprints by Kim Eubank that depict archetypal scenes of Postwar America. Charming, melancholic, and folkloric, this exhibition conveys the evolution and social byproducts of America’s social contract and an unarticulated tension surrounding the slow decay of Pax Americana.

For Piet's Sake is an exhibition of oil paintings from the late 1970s to the 1980s, more recent and new panels by Robert Storr, along with the inaugural print portfolio of ZB Editions, which features eight prints based on drawings by Storr and produced by master printer James Bourland. Storr's paintings span forty-six years and bracket the decades of exceptional curatorial and professorial influence, over which he has now privileged his artistic lifework. The inaugural print portfolio, Celebesstraat, is based on a series of diaristic drawings by Storr that explore the infinite variation of line- and mark-making.
