Assistant Professor, Katie Kehoe exhibits in AS ABOVE, SO BELOW
As Above, So Below is a group show including photo-based works by ecoartspace members based in New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, California, Texas, Wisconsin, Canada, New York, Maryland, and Florida. The exhibition was juried by Toby Jurovics, Founding Director of the Barry Lopez Foundation for Art & Environment.Santa Fe, New Mexico – As Above, So Below (November 1 – November 18, 2023).Ecoartspace presents its second in-person juried members gallery exhibition in Santa Fe since the platform was launched in January 2020. In the last three years, over 1,600 artists and scientists have come together, online and in-person, to share resources and support each other’s work. Over 200 members are from 26 countries outside the United States. Collectively members around the world are visualizing the confronting issues around climate and the human impacts on our environment. The exhibition takes the phrase As Above, So Below, as its point of departure, a paraphrase of the second verse of the Emerald Tablet. The phrase was often used by occultists such as Madame Blavatsky, co-founder of the Theosophical Society, and included interpretations that suggested correspondences between the macrocosm and microcosm. These different planes of existence featured illusions, some half-real, of minerals, plants, animals and humans.“Selecting work for As Above, So Below, what became clear was an overarching concern for the land from its most vulnerable to its most rugged, no matter the perspective. At a time when hope is easy to misplace, these eighteen artists convey the tenacity of the natural world, its inherent beauty, and the certainty it will outlast whatever we might throw at it.” Toby JurovicsExhibition Dates: Wednesday, November 1 through Saturday, November 18, 2023Opening Reception: Saturday, November 4, 3-5pmClosing Reception: Saturday, November 18, 3-5pmLocation: F O M A, Guadalupe Center, 333 Montezuma Avenue, Santa Fe, New MexicoHours: 11am-5pm MDT, Tuesdays through Saturday, Closed SundayArtistsSE Bachinger, Kaya & Blank, Christine Cassano, Paula Castillo, Esha Chiocchio, Hayden Lilly Daiber, Jimmy Fike, Stephen Galloway, Bia Gayotto, Alexander Heilner, Katie Kehoe, Andrea Pinheiro, Linda-Marlena Ross, Meridel Rubenstein, Amy Scofield, Martina Shenal, Adam Thorman, Terri WarpinskiecoartspaceArtistsSE Bachinger, Kaya & Blank, Christine Cassano, Paula Castillo, Esha Chiocchio, HaydenLilly Daiber, Jimmy Fike, Stephen Galloway, Bia Gayotto, Alexander Heilner, KatieKehoe, Andrea Pinheiro, Linda-Marlena Ross, Meridel Rubenstein, Amy Scofield,Martina Shenal, Adam Thorman, Terri WarpinskiAbout JurorToby Jurovics is founding director of the Barry Lopez Foundation for Art & Environment.

From 1999-2019, Watts worked with east coast curator Amy Lipton (1956-2020), together and separately organizing over 60 art and ecology exhibitions. In 2020, ecoartspace transitioned to a membership platform including artists, scientists, arts professionals, students, and advocates sharing resources and supporting each other’s work in an inclusive, non-competitive, collaborative environment. In 2023, the New Mexico Foundation became its fiscal sponsor.ecoartspace, LLC, PO Box 5211, Santa Fe, New Mexico 87502http://www.ecoartspace.org or info@ecoartspace.org
