Greg Moon, "Headgear,"
mixed media/lightbox, 13 x 9 x 9"
Boxes of Moonlight
This month we feature the light-boxes of owner Greg Moon. These quirky little pieces hearken back to the nostalgic subjects of his youth. There is a childlike delight in cheesy monster movies, the space race, and the cartoons of the 60s… all done in a mixed media mashup that has an additional layer due to the internal lighting of each piece. "It's been an interesting series as it's a definite departure in not only subject matter, but media and technical challenges as well." Funny, irreverent, and funky best describe the end result. Bring your sense of humor…

Mabel Dodge Luhan & Company: American Moderns and the West is a major traveling exhibition curated by MaLin Wilson-Powell
and Lois Rudnick.
This exhibition focuses on the life of Mabel Dodge Luhan (1879-1962), who brought modernism to Taos creating a "Paris West" in the American Southwest. Luhan invited "movers and shakers" including D.H. Lawrence, Georgia O'Keeffe, Ansel Adams, John Marin, Marsden Hartley, and Paul Strand to find in northern New Mexico's physical and cultural landscapes new aesthetic and perspectives on modern life. The exhibition presents these artists in relation to Pueblo and Hispano artists, examining a unique "Southwest Modernism."
