On April 16th, from 4-8 PM, Changing Gallery hosts the Opening for “Practical Nonsense: a mercantile of the bizarre and unusual.” This solo exhibition by artist Esteban Bojorquez features “assemblage and readymades in the spirit of dadaism and mad humor.” Many pieces were crafted specifically to play off the special character of Changing Gallery’s current venue, The Palace Grocery Store.
Practical Nonsense is a Mom & Pop convenience store in the Twilight Zone, an emporium of delightful oddities and witty wonders. Look for the * Alien Space Helmet and Assorted Ray Guns * The Dutch Disco Shoe * Expired Goods –100% off! * Money Hungry Bank (with teeth!) * Golf Ball on the Moon (a victim of extraterrestrial forces) * The Do-it-Yourself Series, including * “You Can Be a Space Cowboy * the Vampire Kit (complete with mirror, mallet and silver tipped bullets.) * and an unforgettable freezer display, “Joe the Butcher and His Calvacade of Meat.” All this plus, The Frolic Room….

Hi Malissa, I spoke with you a few weeks back about art in the Railyard Park at the wonderful Changing Gallery installation.
We have an unusual workshop coming up I thought you might be interested in…Paul is one of our volunteers and just completed his MA thesis on acequias as a design element, so it will be an unusual spin on the topic. See the writeup below for details. This will be a nice lead in to a program we are planning for next spring with a Danish artist with an international perspective on acequia as art. http://www.acequias.eu
Also FYI, we are now accepting applications for our temporary installation program. https://www.railyardpark.org/programs/railyard-art-project/
I’m looking forward to the next Changing Gallery–please put me on your list!

Acequia Madre in the Landscape
June 21, 11-12:00 noon
Santa Fe’s Acequia Madre is one of the longest-used, community-operated infrastructural systems in our regional cultural landscape. It is both a reflection of Santa Fe’s geographic elements and has influenced the contemporary urban fabric for which it is often masked by. Come learn more about the acequia system through a presentation and tour of the Railyard Park’s acequias led by Paul Navrot, Master of Landscape Architecture. https://sites.google.com/site/macloviagarden/
