SUMMARY:Melanie Yazzie: Finding Oneself Again and Again
DESCRIPTION:Melanie Yazzie is informed by the Diné philosophy of hozho — translated as blessings\, beauty\, and harmony. After experiencing illness\, she challenged herself to create artworks that find ways to heal from and to balance the negative effects of settler colonialism that Indigenous people live with on a daily basis. Her earlier works focused on calling attention to the harsh realities of racism\, poverty\, and loss of home territories. She continues to acknowledge these struggles\, but now layers her artworks with recuperative images. As a Mellon Foundation Artist in Residence at the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College in 2018\, Yazzie began using printing plates recovered from a 1939 book project about Diné healing practices. By layering the fractional images of the color-separation plates with her own iconography formed from memories of people and places\, Yazzie asserts the ongoing significance of Indigenous knowledge. This exhibition presents recent works created during the Mellon Foundation residency and over the course of a very productive time following her experience at Colorado Springs.

SUMMARY:Detour
DESCRIPTION:Thomas Evans (aka Detour) is a Denver-based painter\, muralist\, and installation artist\, internationally renowned for his brightly colored portraits and large-scale artworks. Inspired by breakdancing and hip hop\, Evans often exists at the intersection of art and music\, notably with his innovative use of technology to create touch sensitive surfaces that respond with sound. For years\, the artist dreamed of creating touchable\, interactive paintings that would stimulate multiple senses at once\, breaking down barriers and assumptions surrounding fine art. That vision was finally brought to fruition with a major public debut during Evans’ stint as a Creative in Residence at the Denver Art Museum in the fall of 2017. As he mixes new media with traditionally accepted modes of representation\, Evans challenges expectations of static artworks that are positioned literally (and figuratively) beyond the viewer’s reach. Through physical engagement with the work\, museum visitors become active participants in the creative process as collaborators with the artist and fellow guests\, resulting in a unique\, memorable experience. For Evans\, art should be “a part of your life\, rather than just in it.” \nNow a Colorado icon\, Evans dedicated himself to a full-time studio practice a mere half dozen years ago\, and quickly exploded into the Denver arts scene. His 2012 MBA degree from the University of Colorado Denver has served him well\, implementing marketing savvy to build his artistic spirit of social activism and passion for community into a professional career. National acclaim came in 2016 with acknowledgement from the Huffington Post about They Still Live\, a series combining photography\, DNA mapping\, and African objects\, sponsored by Ancestry.com. The artist and his work have been featured by CNN\, numerous digital and print publications\, radio and television outlets\, and most recently\, on the Netflix show My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman\, for which Evans painted two portraits\, one of the eponymous host and one of guest artist Jay-Z. \nEvans adopted the moniker of Detour as a break dancer living in Germany\, and has since traveled to locations across the globe\, from Tanzania to Argentina and France. For Evans\, experimentation is essential to growth\, and the willingness to explore a different path—taking an actual detour—is what helped him to make a dramatic professional shift and begin to find his artistic voice. Yet\, Denver remains home for the artist\, who celebrates its distinct cultures\, relaxed style\, and supportive art scene with growth that parallels his own development as a creative force. In his artist statement\, he says that his work “consists of channeling concepts and issues about the urban arts culture through portraits of minority and urban subjects\,” hoping to raise awareness of certain communities with artistic interventions as a “building block between the viewer and the message\,” leading to greater understanding. \nFor more about Thomas “Detour” Evans\, visit: www.iamdetour.com

SUMMARY:The Broadmoor Art Academy and Its Legacy\, 1919–1970
DESCRIPTION:On October 15\, 1919\, the Broadmoor Art Academy (BAA) was born. Through the generosity of Julie and Spencer Penrose\, the art school was housed in their former residence at 30 West Dale Street. Drawn to the idea of exploring the Wild West\, artists came to Colorado Springs to experience its clear blue skies\, dramatic lighting\, and rugged landscape. Countless influential artists came to the school through 1935\, contributing to its inspiring and creative environment. From great American Impressionists and Post-Impressionists to celebrated muralists\, Regionalists\, and Social Realists\, the Academy was concurrently rooted in tradition and responsive to the zeitgeist of the first half of the 20th century. Built on the foundation of the prestigious Broadmoor Art Academy\, the Fine Arts Center opened in 1936 with a new name and new building on the same site\, perpetuating the legacy of the BAA. Elevating techniques in printmaking and embracing the language of abstraction\, the mid-century was a period of innovation that progressed toward the establishment of a unique regional artistic identity. In 2019\, the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College continues to celebrate and embody the vision of our predecessors. We honor Colorado’s arts and cultural heritage through vibrant programming in our non-profit art museum\, performing arts theatre\, and arts education center. Proudly looking back on 100 years\, we are inspired to continue progressing boldly toward tomorrow\, creating an institution in service to our local and global communities. The FAC of 2019 is testament to our storied past\, and the future will be what we dream of today. This FAC Legacy Series exhibition is a confluence of hundreds of works from dozens of local\, national\, private\, and public collections\, and interpreted by some of the finest regional art historians.
