The projects presented in this exhibition were produced by individuals who came together as wandering artists looking for meaning in unfamiliar spaces. While they traced the Rio Grande Watershed from the headwaters to the US/Mexico Border, their investigations and works became sensorial expressions of place of the American Southwest. Individual encounters became ideas expressed through performance, drawing, installation and more. This showcase of artists demonstrates how field investigations and studio art production intersect to develop rigorous creative practices and provocative works of art.
