nextThe Huck stops here..

A Missouri native, Tom "Show Me" Huck flew into Santa Fe as part of a whirlwind schedule across the
southwest. We've worked with him on past projects such as Hog Scalders and Decapitation Nation.
Continuing at a frenetic pace on our newest editon "Pork Chop Suey Pt. II: Oinktoberfest", Tom ended up
pulling an all-nighter in order to get his carving finished. (He was scheduled to leave the next day
at 1:00-0 the RTP was pulled an hour before the flight) Nothing like cutting things short- so thanks Tom...
Huck's influences include Daumier, Posada, and Durer which come to no surprise considering the subject matter of his large scale social satire. As large as his woodblocks are, there is a surprising delicacy to his carving skill and sure quick handed-ness. .

LUIS JIMENEZ
next Art at the edge

In an era when undocumented workeres are often vilified, Luis Jimenez has memorialized the illegal entry into the United States of his own father and grandmother. His 10-foot-tall sculpture Border Crossing, depicts a man carrying a woman on his shoulders; she leans forward, holding a child against her chest. Her face is strained – perhaps because the Rio Grande is cold and dangerous. It is cast in fiberglass and painted in dark yet garish colors. Born in 1940, Jimenez grew up in a barrio of El Paso, Texas. He moved to New York during the 1960s, and after years of struggle, his first one-person exhibit at the Graham Gallery in 1969 was a success. Jimenez moved back to the Southwest in 1972 and began work on large-scale figurative works that celebrate the lives of working-class Hispanics. His work is included in the collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Santa Fe, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Washington DC, and the El Paso Museum of Art.

Jimenez's drawings and lithographs are infused with the raw energy of live lived at the edges of society. In his graphic work, death can be disguised as a woman who dances wildly with flaring skirts ready to envelop souls. A dead coyote can say vlumes about the rough and tumble of real life.

This June, Jimenez died from injuries when part of a monumental sculpture he was creating for the Denver International Airport fell on him.

HOT PICK:
next Featured on cover of Sept ArtNews issue: Ghada Amer

One of Landfall's artists, Ghada Amer, is featured in an article titled, "Behind the Veil". Amer is included under the topic of "What Makes Art Erotic" along with her collaborator, Reza Farkhondeh.

Jack and Ghada met while she was doing a residency at the H&R Block Artspace in Kansas City. At the time, Ghada was working on a series of drawings with Reza. After viewing the work, he invited them to Landfall for a week to collaborate on a series of prints.

The joint effort resulted in three prints entitled, "For Wonder Women", "Love Me", and "Kiss Cross". Reza and Ghada work within the parameters of a truly collaborative spirit. There is a constant flow if ideas moving back and forth. Elements of Ghada's erotic embroidered female figures, fairy tales, and sometimes text are melded with Reza's drawings of landscapes, lonely trees, and gestured drips. The preliminary ideas of landscape and gesture are fused with the line drawings and stitched elements, creating a push/pull effect within the compositional plane with neither dominating the space.

"It was wonderful to continue our collaboration in a different setting. The concentrated atmosphere of Landfall Press, where everyone worked to find the best solutions for our projects, was a continuation in the changing dynamic of our work together."
– Ghada Amer and Reza Farkhondeh.

#30!

Schulz Comic Strip

Charles M. Schulz met Christo and Jeanne-Claude in 1975. Two years later, Schulz memorialized Christo’s work in a daily strip depicting a wrapped Snoopy house. With mutual admiration, Christo took the Schulz comic from a 1978 strip to reality in 2004 with his Wrapped Snoopy House Project on display at the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center in Santa Rosa, California.

Christo's Wrapped Snoopy House

"Wrapped Snoopy House, Project for Charles M. Schulz Museum" will mark the 30th collaboration between Christo, Jeanne-Claude and Landfall Press. The lithograph/collage, inspired by the popular pooch, measures 24 1/8 inches by 21 5/8 inches with an edition size of 250. These will be offered at $5,500.00 each. The image debuted at the 2004 IFPDA Print Fair in New York City.
