Contemporary Albuquerque: Cyber Artspace

Transcending the past and the present, Mary Antonia Wood's paintings and constructions also transcend the boundaries of painting and sculpture. Her work reflects a deep interest in the eternal mysteries of existence, which know no beginning or end life and death, darkness and light, time and space, nature and the supernatural. "My work is an act of discovery a journey through mystery, legend, and myth. It is a sort of spiritual archeology, which eventually leads to the barest elements, the hidden essence within," the artist states.

Mario Castillo: minimalist reassertions (through Oct. 13, 2004)

Chicago Glass Curtain Gallery is pleased to announce its first solo exhibition with Mario Castillo. A pioneer in the Chicago muralist movement (first mural he worked on was in 1964), Castillo turned to minimalism in the early 1970s. During this period he created unique works that not only explored minimalist issues concerning perception and art, but also universal human issues with a Latino-Mexican sensibility. In Mario Castillo: minimalist reassertions, Castillo reclaims, reprocesses, and transforms these works and concepts, asserting the notion that artistic issues from the past are valid in the present.
