Santa Fe Art Show!

Adela Leibowitz  "Blackwell" 

Oh, I am so jealous of those of you who live in the Santa Fe area!  Eight Modern is having a show called "Once There Was, Once There Wasn't: Fairy Tales Retold," up through October 6th:

"With works by a number of artists, including Jim Dine, David Hockney, Peregrine Honig, Fay Ku, Elizabeth "Grandma" Layton, Adela Leibowitz, David Levinthal, Paula Rego, Kiki Smith, and Richard Tuttle the exhibition illuminates and challenges the traditional interpretations of fairy tales. Stories heard in childhood exert a powerful pull on the artists participating in Once There Was, who take on the powerful role of storyteller and the task of mythopoesis, of creating and renewing meaning. Their modern reworkings of old tales draw upon familiar narratives and imagery for their cultural resonance."

Wish I could see it in person!
