Pioneers of video art, Santa Fe’s Steina and Woody Vasulka take us into their world. “It’s no fun to go and say today I am going to make a masterpiece. That is of no interest to me.” In his own time, artist Andy Warhol pushed the boundaries of what defined art, challenging expectations with his portrayals of popular culture. Highlight of the exhibition, Regarding Warhol: Sixty Artists, Fifty Years. “He was constantly looking at current events and looking to newspapers, to magazines.” Shodekeh is a beat boxer turning the tables on traditional art forms. “Because there were some people who didn’t like that I was beat boxing for ballet.” Islamic artist Uzma Mirza paints Arabic words as musical notes combining music and faith. “Every piece of art I do, I can’t explain how I did it. It was meant to be.” Photographer A.D. Wheeler has found art in the decay of urban landscapes. "I guess I got bored of shooting the normal everyday stuff.”
