N.M. Art Book Club

Is there anything more enjoyable than looking at art and talking about books?  We at the Museum Library don’t think so and that’s why we host an art-themed book club!

This month we will be discussing bell hooks’ Art on My Mind: Visual Politics and viewing Identity, the final installation of Off-Center: New Mexico Art 1970-2000 at the Vladem Contemporary.  

hooks’ text examines the way our general worldview dictates the viewing and interpretation of art.  She questions the politics influencing the exhibition, production, and critique of art with a focus on art’s ability to empower marginalized communities in the struggle for liberation.
