The Harwood Museum of Art of the University of New Mexico opens its next round of exhibitions starting June 6, featuring work from the permanent collection. The Harwood Discovery Series will continue through 2008 and into 2009 following the schedule of the proposed expansion.
Curator of Education Lucy Perera-Adams said, “The Art Committee spearheaded by Charles Strong and Gus Foster has planned a series of exhibitions gleaned from the museum’s permanent holdings. The Discovery Series is an opportunity to exhibit work which has not been shown in a long time, and in some cases includes work never before exhibited.
This ongoing series highlights the Harwood’s many treasures both old and new in a format which includes a Focus exhibition of one artist, a Selections exhibition of multiple works and an On Paper exhibition comprised of drawings, photographs and prints.”
The Discover Series I – “Focus: Larry Bell,” “Selections: Modern & Contemporary Abstractions” and “On Paper: New Mexico Photography” opens June 6, with a public reception on Saturday, June 7, 3-5 p.m. Guest curators for these exhibitions are Charles Strong, Steve Rose and Gus Foster. These exhibits will be on view through the end of September.
