CLUI Bus Tour

Saturday, June 27, 9am-6pm

¡Ya Basta! ¡Ya Basta!

The Center for Land Use Interpretation (CLUI) will take passengers on a guided bus tour through some of the more compelling and dramatic built landscapes of New Mexico, places at the core of this landscape-centered state. The tour will examine the cultural stratigraphy of the contemporary technological sublime; the veneer of test space; the reach upwards; the security of entombment; and the flare of the nuclear furnace.

The Center for Land Use Interpretation is a research organization involved in exploring, examining and understanding land and landscape issues. Opening with the Second Site exhibition at 516 ARTS on August 1, they will create a site-based project for LAND/ART to be presented in one of the organization's Mobile Exhibition Units installed in the Albuquerque area at a location to be announced. Part orientation center, part destination, the space will be a conceptual "point of departure" for exploring the inner and outer landscape of the region, focusing on notions of the technological sublime, for which New Mexico is notorious.

While their work is conceptual in its approach, its content is designed to be accessible to a wide audience beyond the art world. Their use of factual research and rational dialogue opens doors for communication and education about Land Art and environmental issues in a new arena which is gaining national and international recognition. This project is coordinated by Kathleen Shields. For more information about CLUI, please visit clui.org.
