MUSEUM OF INTERNATIONAL FOLK ART VERNICK AUDITORIUM
New Mexico Museum of Art and Museum of International Folk Art are featured prominently in the award-winning series Craft in America, episode MINIATURES. MOIFA will host the national premiere screening of the newest episode followed by a panel discussion. The screening and panel discussion will take place in the museum’s Vernick Auditorium on Saturday, Dec. 9, from 2-4 p.m. Free museum admission all day, including to the screening and panel discussion, is generously sponsored by Craft in America.
MINIATURES explores the world of tiny objects and the artists who make them. From folk art to marionettes to tiny furniture, the artists of MINIATURES reveal what motivates them to work at a scale that demands a masterful attention to detail.
New Mexico artists and organizations figure prominently in MINIATURES, which includes segments on Alexander Girard’s spectacular invented world housed in the Museum of International Folk Art’s Girard Wing; beloved New Mexico artist Gustave Baumann’s marionettes from the collection of the New Mexico Museum of Art; and International Folk Art Market artists who work at a diminutive scale, including Cuban artist Leandro Gómez Quintero, who creates small-scale, painstakingly detailed re-creations of vehicles using found materials.
The panel discussion will feature some of the individuals interviewed in the MINIATURES episode:
- Laura Addison, Museum of International Folk Art;
- Stuart Ashman, Artes de Cuba Gallery;
- Nadia Hamid, International Folk Art Market;
- Thomas Leech, retired, New Mexico History Museum; and
- Maureen Russell, New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs.
Patricia Bischetti, executive producer and director of “Craft in America,” will facilitate the panel discussion.
