Welcome to SOFA WEST: Santa Fe!

We have taken time to organize an art fair that has both quality and diversity of offerings, with a range of galleries returning with familiar artists, as well as first-time galleries exhibiting exciting new materials. As with our long-standing SOFA fairs in New York and Chicago, a full program of regional art tours, collection visits, panels and lectures, and festive gatherings is sure to make the week a memorable one. In this, the 400th anniversary year of the City of Santa Fe, we are delighted to be a part of the excitement!

We are looking forward to SOFA WEST’s free, outdoor evening celebration themed “The Desert is an Ocean,” featuring Santa Fe artist collective Meow Wolf. Widely known for its site-specific installation art, Meow Wolf will transform the Convention Center Courtyard into an undersea wonderland. Much thanks to Meow Wolf project lead and co-founder, Quinn Tincher, and also to the other artists contributing to the nights festivities: jazz pianist Eliot Fisher and violinist Karles McQuade, Moving People Dance, DJ Pablo 77, and Whistle Works.

There are many people to thank who make this event what it is. We thank Tom Aageson, Executive Director of the Museum of New Mexico Foundation and Ann Scheflen, Director of Membership and Communications, who have led the effort to make SOFA WEST’s opening night a success by inviting key Foundation supporters to kick off the fair.

This is the first year that SOFA WEST: Santa Fe has had an editorial special section produced by the Santa Fe New Mexican. Special thanks to Robert Dean, Managing Editor; Inez Russell, Special Sections Magazines Editor; and Joe Vigil, Advertising Director for all their hard work in producing an informative and handsome magazine.

SOFA WEST has been enthusiastically embraced by Mayor David Coss, Councilor Rebecca Wurzburger, Mayor Pro Tem, as well as Keith Toler, Executive Director of the Santa Fe Convention and Visitors Bureau. We thank them for helping SOFA WEST integrate into the busy summer schedule. Special thanks also to Melanie Moore, Convention Services Supervisor of the Convention Center. After last year’s stirring success of SOFA WEST’s Night at the Santa Fe Opera, visitors to the fair may again enjoy a dinner program feted by the Opera’s Apprentice Program. Special thanks to honored guest artist Klaus Moje and his representative at SOFA WEST, Bullseye Gallery of Portland Oregon, which is co-sponsoring the evening. We are delighted to support the world-famous Opera by donating the proceeds to the Santa Fe Opera Company Apprentice Program. Special thanks to Ellen Bradbury of Recursos/Royal Road; and Dr. Bruce Bernstein, Executive Director of the Southwestern Association of Indian Arts (SWAIA) and the esteemed Santa Fe Indian Market, for their hard work in organizing Historic Bond/Contemporary Spirit: Collecting New Native Southwest Pottery. Thanks are also due to ceramic scholar and SOFA WEST dealer, Garth Clark, for lending his expertise and enthusiasm as one of its key presenters. This exciting forum will add depth to SOFA collectors’ understanding of the extraordinary cultural and artistic heritage of Santa Fe and its surrounding pueblos.

Special thanks to the Hotel Santa Fe and The Hacienda and Spa for their Pincuris Pueblo hospitality year-round, especially Suzanne Brown, Director of Sales, and Todd Glanz, Director of Catering. Thanks also to Lynn Zeck and Todd Davis of Casas de Santa Fe, and Joe Romero of Romero Rentals for their assistance. We thank Charlotte Jackson of Charlotte Jackson Fine Art and Art Santa Fe, for her assistance in securing the show carpet for the Convention Center’s Sweeney Ballroom, and congratulate her on the 10th anniversary of Art Santa Fe! Thanks to the Friends of Contemporary Art of the New Mexico Museum of Art for its cooperative breakfast programming and delightful Contemporary Cantina at the fair. Thanks also to the principals of the Santa Fe Folk Art Market happening the same week as SOFA WEST for their gracious spirit of team work. Thanks as always to the dedicated and hardworking SOFA team for making it all happen. Last but not least, special thanks are due to my business partner, Michael Franks, CEO of The Art Fair Company for his tempered ability to simplify the challenges of organizing SOFA, while making sure the event is properly paired with an appropriate wine.

Bill Richardson Governor

As Governor of New Mexico, I am joined by First Lady, Barbara Richardson in welcoming the second annual SOFA WEST to Santa Fe during a wonderful and cultural time of the year. It is an honor for Santa Fe and the Museum of New Mexico Foundation to be a partner for this year’s opening night activities. We are elated to share the hospitality of our beautiful Santa Fe Convention Center for this well attended event. Over 2,000 guests attended SOFA WEST’s inaugural Opening Night last year, with an estimated 10,000 visitors attending the fair during its four-day run. We are confident and in high spirits to know that we can exceed the attendance of last year with these wonderful artist creations and the ambiance of our City. New Mexico has a lot to offer and we hope that SOFA collectors will find time to enjoy the extraordinary cultural and artistic heritage of Santa Fe and its surrounding Native American Pueblos. New Mexico offers stunning sunsets, an exciting menu of Southwestern cuisine where you will be asked the official State question: Red or Green? SOFA brings an international flavor to the Southwest and we look forward to sharing our hospitality with one and all. With warmest regards,

Bill Richardson Governor of New Mexico

As Mayor of Santa Fe, it is my great pleasure to welcome you on behalf of the City of Santa Fe to the second annual Sculpture Objects & Functional Art Fair: SOFA WEST. The City is commemorating our Cuatrocentenario of 400th Anniversary and we hope that you will enjoy your time in our historic city. SOFA WEST has become a major contributor to the Santa Fe art experience. Santa Fe joins Chicago and New York as communities that present modern and contemporary cutting-edge design in decorative arts and jewelry. The Art Fair Company, SOFA WEST’s producer, has partnered with the Southwestern Association of Indian Arts (SWAIA) to present a pre-Fair symposium on contemporary Native American pottery. I am confident that the 2010 Fair will continue the SOFA tradition of acclaimed art in a historic destination. I am honored, on behalf of the citizens and the Governing Body to thank you for selecting the City of Santa Fe to host this event. Muchas Gracias and Bienvenidos!

Dear Art Patrons, Once again, the Museum of New Mexico Foundation is thrilled to welcome SOFA WEST: Santa Fe 2010 to the City Different. One aspect of the Foundation’s mission is to preserve and enhance New Mexico’s unique cultural resources through collaboration and advocacy. The fact that SOFA WEST has returned for a second year speaks volumes to the quality, passion, and support the Santa Fe community continues to demonstrate for the arts and our cultural heritage. We look forward to another engaging cultural experience for all residents and visitors. This year, our Circles’ Members and Business Council will enjoy an exclusive preview of SOFA WEST. These special Museum of New Mexico Foundation members will have first pick of pieces that cross the boundaries of fine art, decorative art and design with an elite selection of international dealers presenting one-of-a-kind masterworks. The quality of exhibitions and educational programming that our Museums produce, through the support of Foundation members, confirms what an appropriate pairing SOFA WEST: Santa Fe and MNMF make. The Circles offers members an intimate association with the rich collections, vibrant exhibits and stimulating educational programs of our Museums, monuments and Office of Archaeological Studies. Business Council members celebrate where art, commerce and culture connect through a strong network of Northern and Central New Mexico Foundation.

On behalf of all of us at the New Mexico Museum of Art, I am delighted to welcome SOFA back to Santa Fe. The cultural vibrancy of summer in Santa Fe can only really be appreciated by those who are fortunate enough to experience it – it is wonderful that SOFA encourages so many people to come here and share in the excitement and creativity of the area. I hope you will take the opportunity to enjoy the area’s cultural offerings as part of your SOFA experience. The Museum of Art’s summer exhibition offers a slightly different take on functional arts in Solemates: Cowboy Boots and Art, presenting cowboy boots as reflections of American cultural values, as markers of Western life, and as works of art. Complementing Solemates Is Art on the Edge, showcasing the work of seven contemporary artists selected by Nicholas Baume for this biennial juried show. To experience a distinctly New Mexican cultural flavor we offer you How the West is One: The Art of New Mexico, a delightful display of Southwestern Art by Native American, Hispanic, and European-American artists which illustrates the changing aesthetic ideals that have evolved within southwestern art over the last 125 years. Welcome to Santa Fe, and enjoy!

Mary J Kershaw Director New Mexico Museum of Art

Essays


Earth Pigs and Earth Mothers: The Ceramics of Diego Romero By Garth Clark


Images list left to right

There are only a handful of potters prepared to confront pueblo realities in their artwork. For most the subject is taboo. Jody Folwell was among the first to speak out through her pottery in the 1980s, and also went beyond pueblo politics and took on national scandals such as Ollie North. Her daughter, Susan, has followed in her footsteps. Puebloans deal with sexual dysfunction, unemployment, poverty, rising numbers of single parent families, the alienation of their youth, difficulty in sustaining their religion and traditions and AIDS. These are problems facing America at large but the pueblos deal with more, cultural marginalization, rampant alcoholism, and the highest incidence of diabetes in America (the latter two as the result of genetic susceptibility). Diego Romero’s ability to gently confront these difficult issues, pushing aside the veil of privacy, is carried out with concern of a healer tending a wound, the triumph of a nurturing spirit over a difficult childhood.

and top to bottom Diego Romero Pyramid, c. 2004 earthenware, 16.25 x 6 collection SM’s-Stedelijk Museum ’s-Hertogenbosch/NL Chongo in the White House, c. 1990 earthenware, 3.5 x 7.5 Atlas Series (Group of 8), c. 2000 earthenware, 3.5 x 8 collection of John Benfatto and Grace Perez

Romero was born in Berkeley, California in 1964 and refers to himself without any discomfort as a “half-breed,” son of a white mother, Nelly Guth, a quintessential 1960’s liberal and a Cochiti Indian father, Santiago Romero. The two met while attending the then uber-radical University of California, Berkeley. Santiago was a talented artist and educator but tormented and ambivalent to both worlds. He disliked the Indian reservation for being too controlling (although he chose to go back when he was dying) but was also bitter towards the Anglos because of his service in the Korean War that cost him one of his hands – a sacrifice he felt was underappreciated.

Chongo’s Wet Dream, c. 1990 earthenware, 4 x 8.75 Atlas Series #5, c. 2000 earthenware, 3.5 x 8 collection of John Benfatto and Grace Perez Runners, c. 2005 earthenware, 4 x 8 Cadillac Farm, 2004 earthenware, 13.25 x 10.25 collection SM’s-Stedelijk Museum ’s-Hertogenbosch/NL

Romero was raised in Northern California’s Bay Area and spent his summers in Cochiti, a yoyo between two worlds: a liberal urban environment and the hermetic conservative reservation. Coming to terms with this was not easy. He was taunted by both sides; mostly by the whites in Berkeley for being half-Native but also on his annual summer visits to Cochiti for being half-white. He also had to endure constant insulting remarks about his mother who was never accepted by the pueblo. This real adolescent pain gives his pots a nuanced content that is unique, straddling both sides of the racial fence, and taking no prisoners from either camp, yet teasing out the humanity of both.

In his mid-teens Romero took matters into his own hands, studied the Indian ways, made close friends in the Pueblo, took part in their ceremonies, celebrations and eventually, the religious dances. It paid off. He is much more comfortable with his dual identity, maybe more native today than Anglo. A few years ago, the Cochiti council granted him the right to occupy his grandfather’s property, a gesture of acceptance that Romero found emotionally overwhelming at the time. (No one owns land in the pueblos, the council assigns property rights.) He did not care that his grandfather’s house was little more than a crumbling adobe outline on the ground, it meant the world to Romero. Early on he saw art as the only possible avenue, considering it an escape route as much as a career. Surrounded by ceramic makers and his first mentor Nathan Begaye, a remarkably iconoclastic potter, who encouraged him, clay called to Romero. He studied at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe for a year before relocating to Los Angeles where he studied with two of America’s most legendary ceramists: Ralph Bacerra at the Otis Art Institute, Los Angeles and Adrian Saxe in the graduate program at the University of California Los Angeles. Romero credits Bacerra with refining his craft and Adrian Saxe with his conceptual breakthroughs. At UCLA he made Native pots with the Anasazi and Mimbres decoration painted in gold. He felt this was a cool and brave step, something unheard of in Native pottery. Gilded or not, Romero’s pots did not impress Saxe, who informed him, “you can continue to paint these pots as long as you wish but that is not art and unless you do something more transformational, you will be denied your master’s degree.”

Stung, Romero began to look further afield for inspiration. He noted the importance of athletes on Ancient Greek pottery and then made the connection to the painted runners in Mimbres pottery and their continuing place in Indian lore. He painted a reserve panel in a bowl with a trio of stylized runners, clearly Indian, sprinting across the bowl with the same composition as on the Greek pots, surrounded by his gold decoration – the bridge that united his two worlds. He graduated in 1993.

line, but also for practical reasons. It offers the largest expanse for an interior canvas. While he hand builds pots as well, form does not excite Romero in the same way as surface. Often when he needs more complex forms, Romero would have another potter make the pot, most often Nathan Begaye, and only do the painting, but now he is makes vessel forms himself.

B.

Mimbres is Romero’s touchstone and the central reference point in almost all of his work. This pottery was made around 1200 A.D. and is one of the high points in prehistoric native art. The Mimbres, a group that lived along the southern border of Arizona were taught by the Anasazi to make pottery and soon these students exceeded the artistry of their teachers. Mimbres pottery is one of the most sophisticated and exquisite bodies of work in the world history of the medium, drawing inside bowls on curved lines and yet achieving the illusion of a flat plane. Little is known of the Mimbres people whose disappearance remains a mystery, but their ceramics remained safe, buried with their owners. The deceased were buried seated upright in their graves (usually dug into the floor of their home) with a bowl, possibly their favorite, placed over their face. A small hole was punched out of the center of the bowl, to act as a portal through which the spirit could escape the body and travel to the hereafter. Ever since the discovery of the work in the 19th century, the power of these vessels with their starkly graphic imagery, reductive but eloquent, remains an inspiration for artists across the world. Romero, a comic book fan, prefers stylized archetypes when it comes to form, simplified representations of traditional pots, and the halfsphere bowl. His bowls, rather than being coiled, are slab molded on a plaster form with an even wall, free of any marks from the hand except on the rim where he adds a few coils and leaves his finger marks. The sharp, squared off, flat rim is not part of the Indian pottery vocabulary, but adds to his contemporary stylization of the form. The shape was selected not just for its neo-Native look, its perfect geometry and sleek

18

A gifted draftsman and illustrator, his painted panels have the graphic power of 1930’s woodblock prints with their angular and heroic stylization. Deep shadows often convey an undertow of threat or anxiety. They have the persuasive directness of propaganda art of the 30s, particularly that of the socialists and trade unions. This format allowed exploration of a terrain he knows well – the Native in Anglo society (and vice versa) on all levels from ethnicity, politics, and gender issues to religion and economics. In many ways his work relates more to that of the black artist Kara Walker who also deals with the politics and history of race and gender, than it does to other native artists. She uses a technique, popular amongst Victorian women, of cutting out silhouettes from black paper and fixing them against a white ground. Just as with Romero’s illustrations, her dramatic telegraphic images deal with everything from slavery and lynching to randy couplings. Both Walker and Romero use a decorative arts format to deliver fine art content, traversing the path of racial identity. Romero’s work covers a wide spectrum. Some of his pots seem little more than visual gags, such as the bowl with a Mimbres-style golfer, or another larger bowl with Indians building a Mesoamerican burial mound, a sacred structure, out of massive cell phones, ubiquitous devices in the Southwest. Yet neither joke is as harmless in its humor as it seems at first glance. Golf, for instance, is a controversial matter amongst Natives, considered by many to be a ludicrous use of both land and water. Chongo in the White House is a simple but effective cartoon showing Romero seated at the desk in the Oval Office. It raises a chuckle but speaks volumes about Native politics, history, power, prejudice, and for the moment, the sadness of impossibility. The term “Chongo” applies to native men who wear their hair with the traditional bun. Some Indians are disturbed by the term as it means rat in Spanish. But it is no doubt this very ambivalence

that attracts Romero, using it as an alter ego and signing his work “Chongo Made” and describing himself and his brother Mateo, a successful painter, as the “Chongo Brothers,” laid-back Native superheroes appearing at the center of the action in many of his artworks. Romero’s sardonic use of the cartoon is perfectly illustrated in a group of eight stylish black and silver bowls in which he illustrates the classic cartoon advertisement that, when introduced in 1928, made a wealthy man of the champion bodybuilder, Charles Atlas. The concept was the brainchild of adman Charles Roman (who also coined the term “Dynamic Tension” for Atlas’s exercising technique) and it featured a headline, “The Insult that Made a Man out of Mac.” In seven cartoon panels Roman told the tale of a skinny 90 pound weakling having sand kicked in his face on the beach by a bully who also takes away Grace, Mac’s girlfriend. Seven days later Mac returns a new man, socks the bully on the jaw and reclaims Grace. This ad ran unchanged for over 50 years, feeding one of the most profitable direct mail businesses in America. More than just commerce, this scenario was a formative part of adolescent culture for generations. Even this writer at the tender age of 11 dutifully clipped this coupon and sent it in to learn more about the offer and how to stand up to schoolyard bullies. What made the offer work was that it did not play on vanity by guaranteeing bigger muscles or a more beautiful body. Rather it offered to end the humiliation, emasculation and impotence of being tyrannized, whether by an individual or a group. It offered strength, masculinity and safety. It spoke to men and boys who felt marginalized. This macho beach encounter is now solidly part of American folklore. President Bush Sr. invoked the “sand-in-the-face” metaphor when he went to War against Iraq. It has been resurrected countless times by the comic press, most recently by Marvel, Bongo and National Lampoon. But for Romero, its meaning is deeper than most, with the kicked sand coming from both sides of his cultural inheritance. Romero, who suffered a great deal of childhood harassment (even today Native Americans are the most tormented group in America’s schools) clearly identified with these ads. Later, in an effort to gain some control in his life, Romero became a martial arts student at a Santa Fe gym. He


gave up this activity when he found that it was beginning to pump his testosterone level to a dangerously aggressive high. Other subjects are romantic, gentle and draw from his day-to-day biography. In Girl Waiting, he has made a piece about the anxiety of a girl waiting for her lover. Roxanne Swentzell (Romero’s partner for a number of years) says this piece is about the life of his girlfriends during his wild years as they wait (and wait) “for a collect call.” On another two bowls he gathers courage to propose to Roxanne and in yet another he daydreams about her. Romero’s erotic works, another aspect of his oeuvre, mix explicit raunchiness with dazzling elegance. “I like to push the sexual button in my work,” says Romero, “I like the men to have overstated musculature and obscenely bulging crotches.” But it also speaks to AIDS activism in the Indian community.

priest covering the mouth of a native woman, silencing her protest while, in the background, the body of a Chongo, possibly her husband or lover, hangs from a noose. In this small artwork Romero encapsulates much of the cruel history, self-righteous paternalism and violence of the missionaries, first the Spanish and then the Anglos with their determination to destroy the Native way of life. It is difficult to look at this bowl without it sending a shiver of complicit guilt down one’s spine. The genius of his art, however, is that it is neither shrill, nor patently angry, it moves between the sardonic and the outrageously comic. One only has to look at the large vessel Earth Pigs to appreciate his non-confrontational approach to serious subject matter.

Romero’s subject matter can shift abruptly from humor in one piece to horror in another as when he explores early history between the natives and the Europeans. Lynching is a riveting, brooding and atmospheric pot. Its panel depicts a malevolent

It is increasingly apparent that tying Romero too closely to Indian art is an error. Yes, it is at the core of his subject matter but I would argue that Romero is a Pop artist before he is an Indian artist. That is not just the viewpoint of this writer. In 2001 the Foundation Cartier pour l’art Contemporain in Paris had the foresight to include both Romero and his fellow Chochita artist, Virgil Ortiz, in their survey exhibition of neo-Pop, Un Art Populaire. For some it may seem a stretch to place the mild-mannered Romero with his modestly sized bowls in the context of Roy Lichtenstein, Andy Warhol and Claes Oldenburg. But this has been his milieu for years. A small print he made 15 years ago entitled, Wow Chongo, shows a woman telling the viewer in a speech bubble, “Wow Chongo this print is a masterpiece! Soon you’ll have all of Santa Fe clamoring for your work!” Romero was also one of five artists featured in the groundbreaking Free Spirit: The New Native American Potter, at the Stedelijk Museum ‘s-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands in 2006 that exhibited the work of native ceramists who were working outside the traditional boundaries of this tradition. In December he will be in a two-person exhibition with Christine McHorse at James Kelly Contemporary. In addition the Ceramic Arts Foundation is currently organizing a national touring retrospective exhibition of his work for 2012. He also will be featured in a major exhibition on contemporary ceramics at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston in that year. Clearly this is a career that cannot be contained within the city limits of Santa Fe.

Garth Clark is a dealer and award winning author and historian of modern ceramics with over 50 books to his name. His book on Lucio Fontana’s ceramics will be published soon together with two anthologies Homage to R. Mutt: Writing and Marcel Duchamp’s Fountain and its Aftermath and The Ceramics Reader. He and his partner, Mark Del Vecchio, who for nearly three decades ran the Garth Clark Gallery in Los Angeles and New York before moving to Santa Fe, will be receiving the Service to the Arts Award from Anderson Ranch in Aspen.

The Fire Burns On Pilchuck Glass School

A.


Stanislav Libensk y´ and Jaroslava Brychtová, Klaus Moje, Kiki Smith, Judy Chicago, Bertil Vallien, William Morris, Joyce Scott, Therman Statom, Dan Dailey, Howard Ben Tré, Lino Tagliapietra, and Ann Hamilton. These are just a few of the distinguished artists who have made a unique journey to the Pacific Northwest. Transported to another place, traveling along the winding gravel road that meanders through dense forests to the campus of Pilchuck Glass School – a 54-acre property on a former tree farm in the foothills of Washington State’s Cascade Mountains, a one hour drive north of Seattle. Here rolling hillside meadows overlook fertile lowland farms out to the waters of the Puget Sound glimmering in the distance. Paths cushioned by moss and pine needles lead from the bright sunlight of open meadows into the cool shade of towering Douglas Firs. Their journeys follow in the footsteps of a group of artists who, in the summer of 1971, gathered in the Northwest and begin to make Dale Chihuly’s dream of a glass school in Washington State come true.

What began in June 1971 as a one-time summer glassblowing workshop has grown into the world’s most comprehensive center for glass art education. Thanks to the vision of founders Dale Chihuly, John Hauberg, and Anne Gould Hauberg, along with the enthusiasm and dedication of all who have come to the campus since, Pilchuck now hosts more than 500 students and artists each summer and is guided by a 41-member Board of Trustees. Although much has changed since the 1970s, the original core values of the school endure: to inspire creativity, transform individuals and build community. In the early days artists and students worked with makeshift equipment and inferior-quality glass, happy to be making things up as they went along. Experimentation and exploration set the tone for – and are now the hallmarks of – Pilchuck Glass School. This small but enthusiastic community knew little of traditional techniques. Through trial and error they invented new forms and glass-working methods, and through this the studio glass movement evolved. Over time, the

European master glass artists and designers visited the growing campus and introduced traditional materials and techniques – Muranese cane making and Czech kiln casting among others – were eagerly assimilated. Before long there emerged a potent combination of Old World craftsmanship, New World individual artistic expression and highly effective teamwork that has come to characterize Pilchuck all these years later. As the artistic program developed, so did the facilities. What started as a camp evolved into a campus. Pilchuck’s master plan has a quintessential Northwest feel, and the layout of the campus supports that special sense of community that is a large part of the school. The location, the climate and the rustic environment are ideal for creating art with glass and are integral to the spirit of Pilchuck. In this remote corner of Washington State, people from all corners of the globe meet, techniques evolve and ideas form.

Summer Educational Program Pilchuck’s philosophy of education flows from Dale Chihuly’s original idea of “artists teaching artists.” After nearly 40 years, this concept still holds true. We believe that people everywhere thrive on creativity and that everyone can learn to cultivate their artistic talents, at any stage of life and at any point in their development as an artist. As such we aim to provide a learning experience that is unrivaled in its intensity, quality of instruction and concentration of artistic talent.

shop, kiln shop, cold shop, print shop, flat shop and a glass/wood/metals shop for multi-media works – are open for long hours so that artists may continue to work individually before and after classes. Artist presentations are held each evening after dinner. Critiques, readings, panels, demonstrations, and discussions with artists in residence and visiting artists are also scheduled. Everyone arrives at Pilchuck with ideas, energy, and creative potential. When participants leave, it is almost always with a new perspective.

Our summer educational program consists of five consecutive sessions that run from May through August. Within each session we offer five concurrent courses that are designed for a range of skill levels and that draw upon all manner of techniques and methods of working with glass as an artistic medium. Every year the summer program features a fresh roster of instructors and artists in residence to ensure that we continually push the boundaries of what is possible with glass. Each course is different but all are meant to foster explorative learning and artistic growth.

2010 Summer Program

Some courses concentrate on the mastery of fundamental techniques using traditional skills and standard materials, while others explore more contemporary artistic concepts and/or the latest technologies. Pilchuck students have access to creative resources – instructors, artists in residence, teaching and artists’ assistants, gaffers, campus staff and fellow students. The experience of living in an immersive artist community for several weeks at a time, and what that does for the creative spirit, is invaluable. Students sign up to study with one artist, but the full effect of being on campus – learning, working, sharing meals with all the instructors, artistic staff and artists in residence – is immeasurably profound.

Among the highlights of the 2010 course offerings are classes that explore ways that neon can be powered with solar energy and other contemporary illumination possibilities; a rediscovery of pâte de verre with two selftaught masters; flameworking with furnace glass; and the use of digital technology and video to investigate glass working phenomena.

In order to serve a broad range of abilities and skill levels, Pilchuck courses vary in terms of difficulty. Some are appropriate for those with no prior glassblowing experience or formal art education, while others require previous coursework in two- or three-dimensional art or particular glass working skills. The goal of all Pilchuck workshops is experimentation, not production; participants are encouraged to go home with a notebook full of ideas rather than a suitcase full of glass. The secluded campus, the natural beauty of the surroundings and the elimination of most daily distractions provide ideal conditions for participants to develop an intense focus. The seven main studios – the hot shop, hot-casting

The 2010 summer program features courses that are typical for Pilchuck in their widely divergent themes. Each session is characterized by collaboration and great potential for interdisciplinary cross-over in a wide assortment of techniques and media. This year’s curriculum is based on the talents, insights and experiences of instructors that hail from all corners of the globe, including Australia, the Czech Republic, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Japan, Korea and the US.

H.

The 2010 summer program also features concentrations in painting and drawing, cold and hot surface exploration and sculpting, and many of the innovative construction and assembly methods used in contemporary glass forming, canework, goblet making, installation, hot casting for sculpture, flameworking, painting with enamels, and stained glass. Kiln forming is offered in every session for different experience levels, and features a range of techniques and sculptural applications. Pilchuck’s Artist in Residency Program The Artist in Residence program has been immensely important to Pilchuck’s development as an arts education center. Artists in Residence come to Pilchuck by invitation and act as catalysts who invigorate and challenge the content of each summer course as they discover and exploit the potential of glass. Accomplished in art forms outside of glass, the artists in residence are some of the most respected national and international artists working today. By including visual artists

working across a broad spectrum of media, Pilchuck’s residencies increase the number and diversity of professional artists using glass. 22 artists will complete residencies as part of the summer program in 2010. Each Artist in Residence is provided with an individual studio, a full-time assistant, and access to experienced staff and fabricators. Participating artists have diverse backgrounds and aesthetics. Not only do they offer new challenges to the traditions of glass making, but their Pilchuck experience invariably results in the creation of a broad range of innovative new works during and after the residencies. The list of invitees to this program reads as a veritable Who’s Who of contemporary art, including Lynda Benglis, Maya Lin, Italo Scanga, Jim Dine, Fred Wilson, Joe Feddersen, Deborah Butterfield, Wendy Ramshaw, and Isabel and Ruben Toledo. In total, some 300 artists have participated in this long established program.

I.

Off Season Residencies Outside of the summer sessions, Pilchuck also offers residencies to emerging artists and professional artists, as well as a collaborative group residency called the John H. Hauberg Fellowship.

J.

The Emerging Artist in Residence program serves promising younger artists who have had some previous experience working with glass. Six artists are selected from applicants worldwide. They receive a $1,000 stipend, lodging and access to studios for two months each fall. Participants are highly self-motivated and eager for the chance to focus on their work and to exchange ideas with each other. “EAiRs” use their residencies to create a body of work or to pursue new projects or methods, often pushing the envelope of glass through experimentation or with mixed-media combinations that include wood, bronze, photography, X-rays, paper, twine, concrete and found materials. Pilchuck partners with Seattle’s Friesen Gallery to present an exhibition of works by each year’s emerging artists in residence. Many younger artists recently introduced to collectors at SOFA have participated in this valued residency – Ethan Stern, Sean Albert, Sean O’Neill, April Surgent – to name only a few.

The Professional Artist in Residence program, while being the most flexible in regards to length of time in the spring or fall, is the only residency in which artists are entirely responsible for their own project expenses. Experienced, professional artists are selected to reside on campus and to use certain portions of the school’s facilities for their independent projects. A recent “PAiR” is the internationally recognized landscape architect Andy Cao, based in Los Angeles, who is completing a public art commission for the Bow Lake Transfer Station near Seattle. The John H. Hauberg Fellowship, established in 2000 in honor of Pilchuck’s co-founder, the late John H. Hauberg, offers a rare opportunity for collaboration among a group of as many as six established professional artists. For 12 days each spring, Hauberg Fellows work both individually and collaboratively to create art that responds to Pilchuck’s natural environment and/or utilizes the school’s glassmaking facilities. Visual artists in all media as well as writers, poets, art critics, and curators are encouraged to submit proposals with a collaborative concept or theme. The intent is to focus on projects and ideas that will inspire creative endeavors long after the fellowship ends. Past collaborations have focused on a variety of topics including painting on glass, Native American aesthetics and concerns, and issues about place and architecture. In addition to the wide range and diverse content of Pilchuck’s programs and residencies, individual diversity is essential to the Pilchuck experience. Instructors, students and staff members vary broadly in terms of age, background, skill level, aesthetics, cultural heritage and artistic traditions; each contributes in a unique way to the culture and learning environment of the school. The Spirit of Pilchuck Artists often refer to “the spirit of Pilchuck” when describing the sense of community they experience on campus. Collaboration is an integral part of the learning process at Pilchuck; as it advances contemporary glass art and can change lives. Instructors frequently co-teach workshops or assist each other with demonstrations. Working in teams or side-by-side in the studios, students often realize work they never knew they were even contemplating.

moments of the creative process, working in the collaborative campus atmosphere is simply more fun. The collaborative aspect of glass working also has a ripple effect when participants return to their schools, jobs and studios after being at Pilchuck. Newly acquired artistic concepts, refined techniques, and enhanced knowledge are further shared with colleagues, students, co-workers and friends. Teachers often attend Pilchuck’s summer programs to pursue their own artistic development, refresh their perspective and gather current information to offer their students. Students, particularly those from countries with newly emerging glass art scenes, often become teachers themselves when they return home and demonstrate what they have learned to instructors and peers. Beyond the roaring furnaces and quiet forests of its campus setting, Pilchuck Glass School reaches out to collaborate with museums, galleries, art collectors and other educational institutions to improve worldwide access to and appreciation of contemporary glass art. With its many partners, the school orchestrates exhibitions, presents demonstrations and lectures, arranges art tours, and offers numerous scholarships. On several occasions throughout the year, Pilchuck invites members of the public to tour its serene campus, watch glass making demonstrations and meet and talk to many of its outstanding artists. Each fall, the school organizes its major public event in Seattle, the Pilchuck Art Auction, which offers the best in contemporary glass art, showcasing close to 300 works of art by internationally renowned masters as well as outstanding new talents. So great is the “spirit of Pilchuck” that artists from near and far generously donate work to be sold for the benefit of the school – the school that has continued to mean so much to artists through the generations, and that inspires creativity, transforms individuals, and builds community.

My Favorite Tools Are My Hands: Feral Metal in a Tame Land By Dr. Bruce Bernstein and Gabe Gomez

A.


Cody Sanderson, Kenneth Johnson, Robin Waynee and Pat Pruitt are the new faces of Southwest jewelry. Their work is informed with modern sensibilities and strong individualism, while simultaneously being a continuum of the art inspired by the vast cultural and natural landscapes of the American Southwest. Each of the artists approaches their work in decisive ways, creating an unsurpassed beauty that is worldly and timeless. The jewelry they create is a dynamic representation of the dialogue between art and adornment. Jewelry is an idiom; a colloquial term uttered endlessly by those artists who undertake the creation of this art form. And like language itself, jewelry hints at the personality of the speaker as much as the meaning behind the words, or in the case of these four artists, a reinvention of how we speak and what we know about Native art and Native peoples. As an art piece, jewelry is capable of navigating through the broad circles of art collecting, exhibitions and unfortunate compartmentalization. As adornment, jewelry is declarative – a restless pronouncement of individual style. More importantly, it is artistry: an aesthetic vision met with the technical skills to realize raw materials into objects. Art, to state it simply, is the result of the keenest observers in our societies working to harness their vision. Similarly, jewelers have managed to capture the essence and complexity of the Southwest, relying heavily on silver and turquoise as the base materials of their work. Lamentably, this has resulted in a deluge of imitators; from craftspeople to assembly lines in Asia, Southwestern Jewelry has reached a halting and screeching end. Ironically, the ubiquity of foreign made “Southwest Jewelry” has stifled the growth of the art form by flooding the market with substandard, uninspired and markedly fake wares upon an unsuspecting public. So here in the Fertile Crescent we call the Southwest – are jewelers who have once again taken up the mantle to work beyond categorizations and a corrosive tourist market.

The Southwestern Association for Indian Arts (SWAIA) is an 89-year-old Native arts advocacy organization that is best known for planning and building the annual Santa Fe Indian Market. With over a thousand artists it is not difficult for novices and art connoisseurs to become lost in the vast variety of tribal styles, formal art training and individual ability represented at Indian Market. SWAIA’s collaborative venture with SOFA is an opportunity to put forward some of the very best examples of the Native art world. Our primary objective is to introduce four supremely talented people. We believe their work is aesthetically stunning and emancipating.

designs each piece on paper, working out the intricate details and nuance of construction. Pat Pruitt studied engineering. It was a good vocation for someone who rebuilds cars and loves heavy construction. His work with stainless steel jewelry began through his background in manufacturing body art and piercing jewelry. Kenneth is the consummate jeweler; cautious and meticulous, each piece is exquisitely crafted with hundreds of hammer blows creating pattern and depth in metal that defy logic. His reliance on old culture patterns surprises many, as his designs look as fresh and new today as when they were created 500 years ago. Cody is the jack-of-all-trades; he traveled the country as a jewelry salesman before he decided that it was time for him to make his own. His strong design sense is historic on one hand, but exotic and modern on the other.

As the four jewelers sat down together to discuss SOFA WEST there was not only a generational camaraderie, but also a commonality of their cutting-edge work. Certainly as Native people they are deeply connected to their own worldview and set of community ethics in addition to American values and culture. Their reliance on their own history is not unlike any other artist, and like other artists they also find inspiration from the contemporary world. This may seem trite and unnecessary to mention, but still necessary to say as it reminds us that these are not your stereotypical Hollywood Indians. To reference scholar and curator Paul Chaat Smith’s 2009 book, Everything You Know About Indians is Wrong. Robin Waynee thought she would be woodworker. To support herself, she got a job in a jewelry store. There she met her future husband and was fascinated by various metals and jewelry techniques. Only a few short years later, her jewelry is capturing the world’s attention. She

This generation of jewelers is open with information, which makes sitting down with the four of them so entertaining. If someone wants to know how to make something they are welcome in the studio to observe. But the four of them also know that the experience and ability they each possess is not something that can be shared. Interestingly, they all agree that their best learning tool is trial and error. Another jeweler can analyze and measure to their heart’s content, but they will not be able to duplicate the hand and eye coordination and aesthetic abilities of these four. They also know that imitation is a form of flattery; so if someone “borrows” their designs or techniques it has a happy ending, “if someone picks up something I do, it forces me to grow,” the artists uniformly quipped. When we think of jewelry we most often think of metal that is bent, hammered and shaped despite its will into elegant shapes and colors that evoke everything from the wilds of nature to unapologetic sex appeal. Metal has long been our companion. The first human cultures that learned to use it turned it into adornment as quickly as tools. Of course adorning our bodies is older than the use of metal – whether wood, bone, feather, vegetable dyes, flora. Metal, however, is undying and poignantly malleable.

Here in the Southwest, turquoise was mined. Seashells and copper bells were quarried and shipped from tremendous distances. Famous ancient cities like Chaco were relatively empty of people but filled with the riches of jewelry that marked the extravagance of the privileged. More recently, images of the Southwest are shaded by silver, turquoise, and the romanticized lonely silversmith sitting under a cottonwood tree working with primitive tools. These smiths were no more primitive or disconnected from the world than we are with our Blackberries or iPhones. The American Industrial Revolution gave rise to many things and one of them was the wide availability of sophisticated tools and an expanding market for American visionary design. These first smiths encapsulated the vast landscapes of the Southwest. Their work is iconic and enduring.

Like their forbearers, new generations of jewelers are stretching out and presenting an expanding reflection of the unique land and people of the American Southwest. As modernity has drawn the nation together with communications and transportation, this vision remains at the center of who we are and long-to-be as American people. While their work is as Southwest as cholla cactus, it is also as American as a New York skyscraper. Jewelers use tools as basic as the hammer and as sophisticated as computer design software. Working trade shows, networks, and the Internet, they find nano-technology transforming their studios into scientific laboratories where international deliveries are commonplace. They live here in Santa Fe and in outlining communities. Their bond is the metal and learning to twist and shape it into expanding ideas. One artist tests ideas in copper, another tests them on paper, both are meticulous and methodical and leave nothing to chance. Perhaps one steadfast trademark of Southwestern jewelry is its inventiveness. Jewelers might build their pieces around a beautiful stone, drawing inspiration from its matrix of spidering lines. Another jeweler is struck by his children’s toys and creates a line of precious metal Barrel-ofMonkey pendants. Jewelers might also find ancient symbols and revitalize them. Jewelry inventiveness can be hard-fought too; hours spent with pencil and paper might provide a precise drawing, but can a jeweler shape and connect metal beyond its will? The inventiveness sometimes begins with the jeweler’s tools. Southwest jewelers’ roots include blacksmithing, so there are a variety of places and ways that tools are found and made. They buy tools to help themselves grow, to help in taming the metal and reaching for new abilities. When asked about their favorite and most indispensible tool, the results were eye opening. One described a hammer purchased at a flea market and another an elaborate piece of machinery that even ten years ago would not be found in a jeweler’s studio. Robin spoke about the irreplaceable binary microscope she uses. “How else can I set stones?” she asks us. The tool allows her to work on the fine scale she demands of herself. She quickly adds that her “eyeball doesn’t always make it – I really like my dividers, calipers, and paper too.” Cody gets misty when talking about his first hammer that he still uses each day; “As long as I have the hammer it is a reminder of where I began as well as a security blanket.”


F.

“My favorite tools are my hands,” Pat says, “without them I couldn’t sketch or do anything. My hands allow me to do many things and not be dependent on any one thing…despite and beyond the tools two hands gives you the capacity to make things.” Many people believe once-upon-a-time there was a simplicity and primitivism to Southwestern jewelry making. But this is an era that never was. In the past century jewelers wandered into railroad machine shops and found the hard steel they needed to make repoussé and die sets. They absorbed the landscape for its meanings and translated its patterns and shapes into their work. The group agrees that their respective studios are not a jeweler’s shop, but more like a machinist shop. All of them have the evidence of trial and error sitting everywhere; Robin is meticulous, her tools carefully lined up. Cody uses copper to stamp out designs; Ken uses silver to prototype designs; Pat’s precise movements and abilities need no testing. Robin says “it’s not easy to come up with a design…designing is the most challenging part of jewelry making. Sometimes it takes weeks for a design to come together, other times things just happen.” There is an intimacy to making jewelry that is fueled by raw inspiration. Hours in close contact with a piece, hunched over the bench seeing nothing else for days except a singular golden shape. Despite the planned execution and careful planning involved, there is still the mystery and wonder in the creative process. “The excitement is that we don’t know what we are going to make.” says Cody.

It is the difference between an instinct and practical skill that separates these jewelers. There is much to be discovered amid the jewelers’ bench or worktable. The metal literally speaks; practiced hands help push and pull things into shape. Cody says, “The metal has a will which is why the finished piece is a window into my memory. When I see a piece I made, it is like visiting an old friend.” Intimacy is forged in the process of making. Consider for a moment that even as non-jewelers we can look at a piece and identify its maker. This isn’t like looking at someone’s child and marveling at how they have grown, but rather this is metal, moved and modeled, small and intricate. One needs to stare deeply at the piece to notice its curvature and lines and know who made it. Put that piece of jewelry on your skin and watch it become a part of you. While you are looking in the mirror, you are becoming part of the jeweler’s narrative. As Cody continues, the piece is “a window to my memory, and when I see it, it is like seeing a friend.” Looking more carefully at southwest jewelry you will notice that it is not just regional. Even the most typical Indian jewelry has its origins in the Iberian Peninsula; its Moorish roots evident in the double armed Naja and pomegranate shaped squash blossoms. These designs came from the saddles and horse tack of the Spanish conquerors. And silver? Silver can be mined in the United States, but the first silver used by Southwest jewelers came from minted American or Mexican coins. Inspiration throughout the twentieth century relied on fashion; from the square art deco motifs of the silver and turquoise jewelry of the 1930s; to the worldwide influences of exotic natural stones in the 1980s. Cody suggests, “things are never original,” commenting on where he finds inspiration, he continues, “each piece has a sentimental value and reminds you where you were at a specific time.” Pat lengthens the thought, “to hang on to a piece is to mark time.”

The rawness of living at 7000 feet next to massive mountains, violent summer rainstorms and skies so large they call them enchanting: Indigenous cultures don’t tame this essence but momentarily harness it in order to turn it over and examine it more carefully, to have a brief moment where time stops and we begin to understand our place in the universe. A piece of handmade jewelry from the American Southwest is a small slice of this infinity captured by the artist. Clearly, jewelry is more than adornment; it has incalculable tethers to its maker’s roots, community and soul. The four jewelers sell their own work and therefore know that buying jewelry is emotional. Principally, the artists make their jewelry as if it was just for them, and never meant to be sold. But jewelry is transformative, and has the power to change what we know about the world as soon as we put it on.
