MAGNIFICO HONORS EXHIBIT
Dorothy Grandbois - Patrick Nagatani - Karl Stalnaker

September 7 - October 1

Closing reception: Friday, October 1 , 7-9 p.m.

Each year, Magnifico's Visual Arts Committee selects a few Albuquerque artists to honor for their outstanding accomplishments in their work and their contributions to our arts community. This year, Magnifico honors mixed media artist Dorothy Grandbois, photographer Patrick Nagatani, and sculptor Karl Stalnaker. This honors exhibit at 516 Magnifico Artspace is in conjunction with Magnifico's tenth annual regional juried exhibition called Why Albuquerque? An Inquiry Into Art and Place, which will take place at The Albuquerque Museum (Sept. 24 - Oct. 3). Work by each of these honors artists will also be featured in the Museum exhibition.

Dorothy Grandbois	Lucy Lippard says, "Dorothy Grandbois (Turtle Mountain Chippewa)...deals with those tragic turn-of-the-century photographs advertising assimilation. She contrasts them with newer, end-of-the-century dilemmas such as teen motherhood, humanizing, giving faces to protagonists."

Nagatani's featured new work explores how popular culture views the body. Using photographic images from weight-lifting magazines, he presents what art critic Kathleen Whitney calls "a montage of idealized realities."	Patrick Nagatani
