In Contemporary Rhythm: The Art of Ernest L. Blumenschein
The Albuquerque Museum of Art and History
June 8, 2008 – September 7, 2008
The art of Ernest Blumenschein (1874-1960) is celebrated in the comprehensive exhibition In Contemporary Rhythm: The Art of Ernest L. Blumenschein. Opening Sunday, June 8, with a reception and programs from noon to 4:00 pm at the Albuquerque Museum of Art and History, In Contemporary Rhythm will present 61 major paintings, as well as five illustrations and sketches of Ernest Blumenschein, one of the founders of the Taos Society of Artists and one of the most accomplished of the group. The exhibition opening events include a lecture at 1:00 pm by Elizabeth Cunningham that introduces the exhibition through exploring key works and periods in Blumenschein’s life and career, a book signing for the exhibition catalogue, special tours of related collections of the museum, and family art activities.
The story of Ernest Blumenschein begins in 1898 when a fateful painting trip to New Mexico found a young Blumenschein and fellow artist, Bert Phillips, stranded with a broken wagon wheel outside the remote village of Taos. So impressed were the two by their adventures they made plans to make it home. While Phillips would return the following year, it would take Blumenschein over twenty years to settle permanently. In the intervening years an art colony developed and eventually formed into the Taos Society of Artists.
Ernest Blumenschein, born in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, in 1874 and raised in Dayton, Ohio, was an academically trained painter, an accomplished violinist, and a respected illustrator and teacher during his life.
His early attraction to the Southwest was cultivated as an illustrator for magazines and books which explored the plight of Native Americans. He would take up these same themes in his paintings, first portraying Native Americans as cultural symbols and later advocating for their rights.
Blumenschein is remembered for his appealing, life-like paintings of New Mexican landscapes and people. But he was also an artist engaged with current trends. He challenged himself artistically whether it was writing a review of the most important modern exhibition of his time, forming a group of experimental painters, or exhibiting alongside the period’s modern American artists.
In Contemporary Rhythm: The Art of Ernest L. Blumenschein features paintings, illustrations, and sketches, from early academic through mature works exploring concepts of modernism. The exhibition was organized by The Albuquerque Museum, the Denver Art Museum and the Phoenix Art Museum. In Contemporary Rhythm opens at the Albuquerque Museum, will then be at the Denver Art Museum from November 8, 2008 to February 8, 2009, and closes with exhibition at the Phoenix Art Museum from March 15 to June 14, 2009.

Construction of a 198-unit, urban-loft residential element, ABQ Uptown Village (http://www.abquptownvillage.com), started in fall 2007 and will be complete and ready for occupancy in summer 2008. Subsequent phase planning is underway and anticipates a major hotel component, urban grocery and additional retail space (http://www.quorumabpuptown.com). When complete, the mixed-use development will have a true live-work-play environment.

NEXT ALBUQUERQUE SONGWRITER SERIES RETURNS AUGUST 7, 2008 AT STATE STREET CAFE!
The monthly Albuquerque Songwriter Series returns to Slate Street Café in their fabulous Wine Loft on August 7. The session runs 7 - 9 PM and admission is free. Slate Street Café is located at 515 Slate NW Albuquerque, NM (one block north of Lomas between 5th and 6th) 505-243-2210 .
Presented by the City of Albuquerque Music Office, part of the Mayor's Economic Development Department, the monthly songwriter series features a changing lineup of local songwriters and takes place the first Thursday of each month. The August session will feature songwriters JOHNNY BURNS, CRISTEN GREY and COLE MITCHELL.
JOHNNY BURNS:
Son of Country Music Hall of Famer JETHRO BURNS and nephew of musical legend CHET ATKINS, JOHNNY BURNS is a chip off of a very impressive block. A long time member of the Chicago Folk/Rock/Americana scene, Johnny rose through the ranks as vocalist/guitarist with the late STEVE GOODMAN (City of New Orleans) and founder and leader of JOHN PRINE'S recording and touring band...

CRISTEN GREY:
Veteran New Mexico songwriter CRISTEN GREY’s compositions are at home whether presented in full band glory or stripped down solo acoustic. Christen is atwo-time New Mexico Music Award Winner, most recently in 2008 for Best Musical Productions Rock Adult-Contemporary for the song "So Much Better". She was also nominated in 2007 in two categories (Best Song and Rock Adult-Contemporary) winning in the later for the song "Absolute".

COLE MITCHELL:
Ex-frontman for New Mexico's own legendary roadhouse band THE SADDLESORES and internationally critically acclaimed songwriter (his album Invictus was named a Best of 2007 record by Dutch Roots Radio, among other accolades), COLE MITCHELL's "songs sweat bullets of genuine American tears laced with grit and asphalt. Filled with road weary tales of whiskey-soaked nights, deals gone bad, clocking time in a slaughterhouse and "breathing fire and drinking gasoline". (Local iQ).
http://www.colemitchellmusic.com
The goal of The Albuquerque Songwriter Series is to showcase songwriters from all genres of music by presenting an evening of exploring song craft in an intimate setting. Each month the featured songwriters join each other on stage with host Rob Martinez, Jr. to take turns playing original songs, talk about their origins, how they came to write them, their influences and challenges. Songs range from completed pieces to works in progress.
Mr. Martinez is a songwriter and musician with deep local ties. As well as performing solo and with local outfit THE DADDY Os, he is a member of New Mexico’s legendary traditional band LOS REYES DE ALBUQUERQUE. Mr. Martinez is also a member of the Mayor’s Albuquerque Music Advisory Board (AMAB). James de Champlon, also a member of the AMAB and a part of the City's Cultural Services Department coordinates the monthly series with City Music Liaison Tom Frouge.
“This series is not about performance, nor is it about perfect voices or playing.” says Mr. Frouge. “It is about the art of song craft, and is not an open mic presentation. The stripped down setting, whether the songs are rock, rap, jazz, classical, folk, world, Latin or country, will showcase the compositions presented as they were written, on a single instrument. It will allow the Albuquerque songwriting community the opportunity to display their wares to other songwriters perhaps learn from one another and, hopefully help nourish that part of the music business in Albuquerque. It will also allow the community at large to get to know these artists through their songs.”
Please note: the Songwriter Series is not an open mic session. or more information on the series and the possibility of participation please contact Tom Frouge, Music Liaison, City of Albuquerque Economic Development Department, Mayor’s Office at 505-771-3166 or tfrouge@cabq.gov
