Case Studies From the Bureau of Contemporary Art March 18, 2011

This exhibition will present a number of thematic points of entry into the New Mexico Museum of Art's contemporary collection. The show includes ceramics, paintings, drawings, photography, sculpture and video. It considers the disparate hubs of war, figuration, seriality, materiality and the containment of nature, among other themes, as part of the constellation of work that constitutes the contemporary collection under the fictitious guise of a Bureau of Contemporary Art.
