A Conversation with the Curators of Modern Desert Markings
How did Modern Desert Markings begin? Who made that row of altered maps in the WorkShop Gallery? Listen in as curators Katie Hoffman and Hikmet Sidney Loe tell us more about the aims of the exhibition, outlining the role of Loe’s students and explaining the significance of Southern Nevada’s historic Land Art.
We’ll be talking to them at 8:30 a.m. on Sunday, April 30, on KUNV 91.5. Modern Desert Markings: An Homage to Las Vegas Area Land Art is on view at the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art until July 8. The exhibition is produced in partnership with Nevadans for Cultural Preservation.
About the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art
The Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art believes everyone deserves access to art that challenges our understanding of the present and inspires us to create a future that holds space for us all. Located on the campus of one of the most racially diverse universities in the U.S., we strive to create a nourishing environment for those who continue to be neglected by contemporary art museums. As the only art museum in the city of Las Vegas, we commit ourselves to leveling barriers that limit access to the arts. Our collection of artworks offers an opportunity for everyone to develop a deeper knowledge of contemporary art in Southern Nevada. The Barrick Museum is part of the College of Fine Arts at the University of Nevada Las Vegas.
