ART Year 8 Artspace Main Gallery May 8 – May 23, 2009 Opening Reception: Friday, May 1, 5:30pm carrie noel: Dance on Camera Artspace Main Gallery June 5 – June 10, 2009 Artist Reception: Friday, June 5, 5:30pm Y.A.R.D. ART is sponsored by the Charles Engelhard Foundation, New Belgium Brewing Company, The Wyoming Arts Council, Dragicevich Foundation, National Endowment for the Arts, and Kelly McDermott and Mark Daverin Carrie Noel’s films bring Modern Dance and Film together into the emerging genre of Dance on Camera. Each film utilizes intricate choreography, challenging the age-old tradition of watching dance on-stage. This collection of dance films encourages a keen awareness of the magical ways to interpret time, space, energy and story telling. Two new short films, recently shot in Jackson with local choreographer Kate W. Koshavek, will be included in the collection. Art or Furniture? That is always a question for the 20 high school kids who have been creating sculptures from packing tape and furniture from kayaks. Y.A.R.D. Art alum, Bland Hoke returned this past year to help Sam Dowd and Clint Green teach this program.

This exhibition will deal with the impact of global warming as reflected in the visual arts. Since 2006 there literally has been a explosion of exhibitions, projects and interventions on the themes of climate change, sustainability and ecological responsibility. This exhibition distinguishes itself in this rich field of endeavor by engaging the question raised by Victor Margolin in his essay for the catalogue of Beyond Green: whether there is an “aesthetics of stainability.” Margolin expresses his concern about how we are to critically and theoretically evaluate an art that “moves from discourse to action…to produce a useful event,” and how work by artists that are “predominantly practical” functions in the museum or gallery where people expect visual edification and look for practical solutions outside those walls. Artspace Gallery is sponsored in part by: National Endowment for the Arts, John and Georgene Tozzi, Gerry and Imaging Spence, Artspace Exhibitionists, Community Foundation of Jackson Hole, Wyoming Arts Council, Art Association Members, William E. Weiss Foundation, and Wyoming Council for the Humanities. UNBROKEN SPIRIT: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF STANFORD ADDISON, NORTHERN ARAPAHO TRADITIONAL HEALER AND HORSE GENTLER Center for the Arts Theatre June 12, 2009 | 7:30pm An Evening of Stories, Photographers, Film and Discussion UNBROKEN SPIRIT: Photographs by Sarah Kariko Artspace Theater Gallery June 10 – July 20, 2009 Opening Reception: Friday, June 12, 7pm This exhibition is sponsored by: the Wind River Development Fund, the Giving Voice Project, the Center for the Arts, and Center of Wonder With a training crop duct taped to his arm and his long braid swinging behind, Stanford Addison gentles wild horses off the plains near his home on the Wind River Reservation in Wyoming. He does this sitting in his wheelchair. Addison lost the use of his legs nearly 30 years ago when the truck he was traveling in hit a herd of wild horses. Since his accident, Addison “learned to make friends with horses again” and has developed an intuitive approach to horse training. In the process of working with wild horses, Addison shows people positive alternatives to many of the obstacles they face. Social Services and the justice system request his assistance to help youth find positive ways of dealing with hardships on the reservation; he helps them draw strength from traditional Arapaho ways. Addison’s youth was spent busting broncos and raising hell. After his accident, he became deeply depressed, unable to face neither the enormity of the loss of his physical powers nor the strange healing gifts he had gained. But eventually Addison accepted his fate. He now lives on the reservation of his youth as a renowned traditional healer and horse gentler. His extraordinary transformation has been recorded in Lisa Jones’ book, BROKEN: A Love Story as well as Angelique Midthunder’s PBS documentary SILENT THUNDER. His life on the reservation today has been captured in UNBROKEN SPIRIT, an exhibit of photographs by Sarah Kariko. Join Stanford Addison and his family and friends, Lisa Jones and Sarah Kariko for an evening of song, prayer, storytelling through words and pictures, and a question and answer session “If we can communicate with a horse,” Stan says, “we can communicate with each other.” Sarah Kariko More upcoming exhibitions KIDS ONLY EXHIBITION Artspace Lobby Gallery March 13 – May 23, 2009 consequences of the Exquisite corpse Artspace Main Gallery March 13 – April 24, 2009 Interlaced & Knotted Art weaving together families Artspace Theater Gallery May 8 – June 8, 2009 partners: Art and Learning Exhibition Artspace Lobby Gallery May 25 – June 11, 2009 Mark Nowlin: Drawing On LiFe Artspace Theater Gallery July 24 – August 27, 2009 Members Only Exhibition Artspace Lobby Gallery August 7 – October 1, 2009 307.733.6379 Johan Hagaman SUMMER 2009 ADULT ART EDUCATION ADULT ART EDUCATION: The Art Association offers a wide variety of classes and workshops in multiple medias.
