Experimental Geography

June 28 – September 20, 2009

Experimental Geography opens June 28 at The Albuquerque Museum of Art and History and explores
the distinctions between geographical study and artistic experience of the earth, as well as the
juncture where the two realms collide and possibly make a new field altogether. The exhibition presents
a panoptic view of this new practice through a wide range of mediums including interactive
computer units, sound and video installations, photography, sculpture, and experimental cartography
created by 19 artists or artist teams from six countries as well as the United States.

Experimental Geography is organized by Independent Curators International of New York.

and Events



Cultural Renaissance:
40 Years of the Albuquerque Museum

Celebrating The Museum's 40th birthday,
the exhibit traces its development from the
Albuquerque Historical Society Museum located in the
Sister Blandina School in 1961, to its founding as a city
museum at the Albuquerque Municipal Airport in 1967,
to its current location.


Imagenes de la Frontera,
Border Images, 1910-1916

Through August 2009

The Mexican Revolution is a story of complicated shifting
alliances for the Mexican participants. The U.S. was
interested in the stabilization of Mexico at the least,
and outright invasion and annexation at the most.
The 26 photographs in the exhibit depict prominent
characters as well as scenes from the conflict.
