Digital Window + Window Box
New Mexico Museum of Art Vladem Contemporary, Santa Fe
The New Mexico Museum of Art Vladem Contemporary transforms the after-dark arts scene with a lineup of captivating experiences that redefine nocturnal culture in Santa Fe.
At the forefront of this initiative is the Digital Window, a mesmerizing display of artists’ videos, short films, and animations generously sponsored by Deborah Fritz and the Fritz family. From 4 to 12 pm, the Van Mabee Plaza comes alive with a curated selection of works by contemporary visionaries such as Madelin Coit, Susanna Carlisle, and Bruce Hamilton, alongside contributions from KIDS FIRST!. Visitors can immerse themselves in these cinematic creations while streaming synchronized audio through their smart devices, reminiscent of the nostalgic charm of a drive-in movie experience.
Adjacent to this cinematic showcase is the Window Box, a dynamic platform showcasing the talents of emerging New Mexican artists. Rotating three times per year, this space highlights the diverse voices and perspectives of up-and-coming creatives, with the current installation, Madremonte by Ileana Alarcón, curated in collaboration with Vital Spaces, an incubator for burgeoning local talent.
Rounding out the nocturnal offerings is a permanent installation by internationally acclaimed artist Leo Villareal. Entitled Astral Array, this display utilizes a spectrum of LEDs to conjure random patterns inspired by natural phenomena, from constellations to microscopic life forms. Villareal’s intricate designs, derived from a fusion of artistic vision and mathematical precision, create an otherworldly spectacle that evolves with the shifting rhythms of the night.
Experience the magic of the New Mexico Museum of Art Vladem Contemporary after dark, where art transcends the boundaries of time and space to ignite the imagination under the starlit skies of Santa Fe.
