The Urness photograph in this show is dated December 5, 2016<\/em>, and anyone who was paying attention that winter knows what that date is. It is Standing Rock. She made it as a digital type C print, and hanging it in August of 2019 was a way of saying that the thing did not end when the cameras left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

UNBROKEN<\/em> opened on 2 August 2019 with work by Zo\u00eb Urness, Josedgardo Granados, Yuki Murata, Patrick McFarlin, Robert Stivers, Danae Falliers, and Elliott McDowell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the works shown were Urness’s December 5, 2016<\/em>, Danae Falliers’s Library91 (medicine)<\/em>, and Patrick McFarlin’s Acequia Madre<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the collection’s words<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There was no single medium holding this show together and there was not meant to be. A digital type C print, a pencil drawing, soil pigment on linen, and a painting of an irrigation ditch that has been running through this valley since before any of us arrived. What was unbroken was not a material or a style. It was the line of attention, from one generation of people looking hard at this place to the next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Titling a show Acequia Madre<\/em> would have been too easy, but McFarlin’s painting is arguably the thesis. The mother ditch still runs. Somebody still clears it every spring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
