Everything upstairs has been happening for a very long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The exhibition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Ceremony and Ritual<\/em> was our 45th Annual Indian Market Show and Sale, open through September 30th during normal business hours or by appointment at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It brought together work by Fritz Scholder, David Michael Kennedy, Zo\u00eb Urness, Douglas Johnson, Charles Loloma, Elliott McDowell, Paul Pletka, Ned Jacobs, Jack Silverman, Doug Hyde, Presley LaFountain, Darren Vigil Gray, Edward S. Curtis, Alfred P. Maudslay, A.D.M. Cooper, Dick Mason, and Robert Stivers, alongside Native American textiles, pottery, beadwork, katsinas, and turquoise and silver jewellery. Also on the walls were historic photographs of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. Running throughout was Marion Wasserman&#8217;s short film <em>Medicine Wheel<\/em>, decrying oil extraction and fracking activity in the Four Corners area and Chaco Canyon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">In the collection&#8217;s words<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Forty-five years of doing this teaches you that a good Indian Market show is not a survey. It is an argument about continuity, and the way you make that argument is by hanging a nineteenth-century photograph near a film made last year and letting a visitor work out for themselves that the distance between them is shorter than it looks. The Wasserman film is why we called it <em>Ceremony and Ritual<\/em> rather than something safer. Ritual is not only what is inherited. It is also what is defended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Continue exploring<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/webstersantafe.com\/fine-art\/artist\/elliott-mcdowell\/\">Elliott McDowell<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/webstersantafe.com\/fine-art\/artist\/robert-stivers\/\">Robert Stivers<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/webstersantafe.com\/fine-art\/artist\/marion-claire-wasserman\/\">Marion Claire Wasserman<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/webstersantafe.com\/fine-art\/artist\/alfred-p-maudslay\/\">Alfred P.
