Aaron Karp and Kuzana Ogg in upcoming shows

The Albuquerque Museum of Art and History will be showing Aaron Karp's "Bemis Grids," works that he completed while a resident artist at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts in Omaha, from February 10-April 20th of this year. The paintings, uncharacteristically small for Karp, still utilize his bold palette and almost gestural optics. This promises to be a racy exhibition. We all look forward to it!

From their website: "The exhibition, Erasing Borders: Passport to Contemporary Indian Art of the Diaspora explores the contributions of artists whose origins can be traced to the Indian Subcontinent...The artists in this exhibition will meld Indian and Western colors and forms in many media, namely painting, sculpture, and photography. They will also grapple with diverse subject matter, including: AIDS, poverty, identity as a South Asian living in the post-9/11 world, in addition to their religious, sexual, and ethnic identities.
The exhibition will travel in California and throughout the greater NYC area, from February to October, 2008.
