Reductionism, Naturalism, and Undecidability
Location: St. John's College 505.984.6000Event Type: education lectures and workshops, todays events
A common version of naturalism holds that higher-level theories, such as those of the biological and social sciences, describe the relationships between coarse-grainings of more fundamental theories. The laws of the higher-level theories must be consistent with the laws relating the fine-grained quantities. Using the tools of formal language theory, Simon DeDeo will present a toy model under which this account is strictly true, with a separation of theories into a single, ordered hierarchy of levels. He then will show how, for theories of reasonable sophistication, this hierarchy-of-levels picture not only collapses, but the reducibility of one theory to another becomes undecidable (in the Godelian sense). He will provide an example from recent empirical work that suggests this does indeed take place and examine the natural consequences that (1) the practice of the higher sciences is at least partially independent of physics, and (2) philosophy of science is itself an independent enterprise.
Simon DeDeo is a research fellow at the Santa Fe Institute, where he works on information processing and computation in social and biological systems. Since 2011, he has been the principal investigator on an Emerging Frontiers grant from the National Science Foundation, and his research has been covered in theNew Scientist andScientific Americanand on National Public Radio. He studied physics, cosmology, and applied mathematics at Harvard University, Cambridge University, and Princeton, where he received his Ph.D. in 2006.

Enjoy the 64th Annual Rodeo de Santa Fe, held June 19-22, 2013 at the historical Rodeo Grounds on Rodeo Road in Santa Fe. Rain or shine you'll be entertained with our rodeo clowns, the Cheyenne Dandees and of course, the professional cowboys competing in each event. Get ready for the 64th Rodeo de Santa Fe coming to town June 19th through the 22nd! Saddle up for all the heart-pounding, mud-slinging, action-packed performances of a top PRCA rodeo with a hometown feel. The Rodeo de Santa Fe began in 1949 when Roy Butler, Austin “Slim” Green, Gene Petchesky, Paul Ragle, Paul Rutledge and few others had a dream and determination to organize a professional rodeo in Santa Fe, NM. This dream exceeded their ambitious expectations and today remains one of the top 60 PRCA Rodeos in the nation. Last year’s Rodeo de Santa Fe drew over 540 contestants, including World Champion cowboys Taos Muncy, Trevor Brazile and JW Harris – a roster we can expect to see grow this year.
Rodeo de Santa Fe is fun for the entire family, with many events for the little ones! The Mutton Bustin’ and youth barrel racers continue to be a crowd favorite of young and old alike! Not to mention the carnival midway, concessions, vendors and a beer garden.
In true rodeo fashion, the 64th Rodeo de Santa Fe will kick off with its annual parade in beautiful downtown Santa Fe on June 15th. Be sure to grab the kids and some lawn chairs and join the local community for a fun and exciting morning. Please visit the “Parade” tab for more information.
Each night the gates open at 5pm for dinner and shopping with our vendors. 6:30 starts the much-loved Mutton Bustin' event for our local children participants. At 7pm the Grand Entry parades into the arena. Exciting Bull Riding, Saddle Bronc Riding, Team Roping, Barrel Racing, Steer Wrestling, Tie-Down Roping and Bareback Riding can be seen at every performance.

The band includes John Rangel, piano, Justin Bransford, bass, John Trentacosta, drums, and Fred Simpson, percussion. June 19 - Santa Fe Great Big Jazz Band (Listen to an mp3 of "My Romance") Founded some twenty years ago to keep alive the tradition of jazz composed for large ensembles, the Santa Fe Great Big Jazz Band performs the classics of Count Basie, Woody Herman, Glenn Miller, Stan Kenton, Buddy Rich, and others as well as newer charts by fine contemporary composers and arrangers such as Quincy Jones, Tom Kubis, and Gordon Goodwin.

The fact that Texas music titans Joe Ely, Jimmie Dale Gilmore and Butch Hancock - on their first go-round as The Flatlanders in 1972 - were completely rejected by the country music establishment is surprising in retrospect but, ultimately, poetic. That each went on to have formidable solo careers is a testament to their talent and determination. Add to this their diverse yet complimentary styles - Joe the street-wise rocker, Jimmie Dale the mystic with the classic country voice and Butch the cerebral folk singer - and you've got a story of one of the most extraordinary kinships in American musical history.
It took these Flatlanders a mere three decades to release the sequel to their legendary debut. So the swift arrival of the group's latest New West album Wheels of Fortune - which comes hard on the heels of 2002's widely acclaimed Now Again - is a delightful and very welcome surprise. The fourteen songs that make up Wheels Of Fortune are absolute wonders of songcraft, sung by three of the most authentic voices in music today.
Joe, Jimmie and Butch initially reunited as The Flatlanders in 1998 to do a one-off recording, at the behest of Robert Redford's people, for the soundtrack of The Horse Whisperer. It was so much fun, the trio regrouped and cut an entire album. The result, Now Again, was unanimously received as a triumph. Mojo magazine dubbed them a "country Beatles." Rolling Stone gave it 3 and 1/2 stars. The Washington Post said, "Given the jaw-dropping quality of the disc, three decades almost seems a reasonable wait." Billboard raved, "An event record that lives up to all expectations." Now Again spent 17 weeks at #1 on the Americana charts and 21 weeks on the Billboard Country charts.
It was only a matter of weeks after the band had completed an 80-date U.S. and European tour when they re-entered the studio. "Once you get somebody on stage, it's kind of hard to get 'em off," Hancock says with a laugh. "Once we got a roll going, it felt good to keep working on something."
"We didn't want to go another 30 years before we made a record," Ely says. "After our last date of the tour, we were talking about it on the bus. We said, 'Well, ought to just get together while the band is hot and fresh and record. Not even think about it.' Basically, that's what we did. We didn't plan it or anything. We just sat down and started recording songs that we'd like to hear on tape. That's what this record is."
In March 2003, the Flatlanders and their band - Robbie Gjersoe (guitars, banjo, vocals), Steve Wesson (musical saw), Tony Pearson (vocals), Gary Herman (bass), and Chris Searles (drums) - convened at Joe Ely's Austin studio, with Ely again producing. Guests included steel guitarist (and noted producer) Lloyd Maines, guitarist Mitch Watkins, and accordionist Joel Guzman. The Flatlanders ended up cutting more than 30 songs, 14 of which appear on Wheels of Fortune. Some of the tunes are brand new while others have been kicking around in the individual repertoires of Ely, Gilmore, and Hancock for some time.
Hancock reflects, "We came together as a bunch of friends who happened to be musicians, too. There's just that crazy Lubbock mystery to it. We've all had our focus on the quality of the songs and the music, instead of any kind of 'me first' thing, or any kind of ego trips. It's almost like the old Marx Brothers thing: Three guys get to the door at the same time, and they all say, 'Oh, no, you go first.' 'No, you go first.' 'No, please, please, you go first.'"
Ely adds, "We've always been close, but now I think that we all realize that this is something that is really special. There are very few people who have remained as close as we have, especially in the music world. There are cases out there where brothers won't even talk to each other because they've been in the music business together. We consider this a real precious thing."
"For it to still be as much fun as it was in the beginning, I feel blessed," says Gilmore. "A lot of musicians don't get that luxury."

It was only a matter of weeks after the band had completed an 80-date U.S. and European tour when they re-entered the studio. "Once you get somebody on stage, it's kind of hard to get 'em off," Hancock says with a laugh. "Once we got a roll going, it felt good to keep working on something."
"We didn't want to go another 30 years before we made a record," Ely says. "After our last date of the tour, we were talking about it on the bus. We said, 'Well, ought to just get together while the band is hot and fresh and record. Not even think about it.' Basically, that's what we did. We didn't plan it or anything. We just sat down and started recording songs that we'd like to hear on tape. That's what this record is."
In March 2003, the Flatlanders and their band - Robbie Gjersoe (guitars, banjo, vocals), Steve Wesson (musical saw), Tony Pearson (vocals), Gary Herman (bass), and Chris Searles (drums) - convened at Joe Ely's Austin studio, with Ely again producing. Guests included steel guitarist (and noted producer) Lloyd Maines, guitarist Mitch Watkins, and accordionist Joel Guzman. The Flatlanders ended up cutting more than 30 songs, 14 of which appear on Wheels of Fortune. Some of the tunes are brand new while others have been kicking around in the individual repertoires of Ely, Gilmore, and Hancock for some time.
Hancock reflects, "We came together as a bunch of friends who happened to be musicians, too. There's just that crazy Lubbock mystery to it. We've all had our focus on the quality of the songs and the music, instead of any kind of 'me first' thing, or any kind of ego trips. It's almost like the old Marx Brothers thing: Three guys get to the door at the same time, and they all say, 'Oh, no, you go first.' 'No, you go first.' 'No, please, please, you go first.'"
Ely adds, "We've always been close, but now I think that we all realize that this is something that is really special. There are very few people who have remained as close as we have, especially in the music world. There are cases out there where brothers won't even talk to each other because they've been in the music business together. We consider this a real precious thing."
"For it to still be as much fun as it was in the beginning, I feel blessed," says Gilmore. "A lot of musicians don't get that luxury."

What is a Woody Pines...? Crackerjack musicianship goes a long way toward a band’s greatness, but showmanship seals the deal. Pines, on stage, is an old soul and natural performer, storied and steeped in the best of American music. Live, the group infuses a hundred years of American music into their performance - everything from early 20th century acoustic blues and Rock-a- billy, to the sounds of the White Stripes and The Black Keys. They'll even drop some hip-hop vibes in the mix. It's a fast-paced, swinging, high-energy show. "It's kind of an alter ego, both a band and a person." The Band includes Zack Pozebanchuck on Upright Bass, Lyon Graulty on Clarinet, Lead Guitar and Vocal Harmonies, Mike Gray on Drums, and Woody on Guitar, Harmonica and Vocals. They create a Rock-a-billy, Halloween hootenanny that could have come straight out of a time traveling vaudeville show. Their song "Counting Alligators" ; puts listeners straight into the backseat of a convertible with Doctor John and Professor Longhair, whipping around the back roads of the Delta on a crisp, autumn night. Several other songs by the band, such as "Nashville" and "Delta Bound", evoke thoughts of a Southern gossip or a post-Civil War America where the blues weren't just a style of music, but a way of life. "We pick and choose the best sounding music in the world," says Pines, "and sing our own words and put our hearts and souls into that backdrop," thus creating a truly unique, and infectious style, never heard before... Grab your girl, your pals, tape your soul on your sleeve and go see this band!......."Woody Pines is the best band I ever heard in my life I swear.... I'm their biggest fan now!" -HONKY TONK HERO, BILLY JOE SHAVER 'Intoxicating blend of rural and urban stringband, country blues, ragtime and jug band music' . -MAVERICK MAGAZI NE, UNITED KINGDOM

New and past work byMaurice Burns, with special guestBilly SozaWarsoldier, May 10- June 29, 2013. Opening Reception for the artists Friday, May 10, 5-9 pm. These two art renegades are a couple of the only living and working artists connected to the heyday of Santa Fe Native American painters in the 1960's-70's, when art luminaries such as Fritz Scholder, T.C. Cannon, and Earl Biss developed a movement, aesthetic and market for contemporary Native American painting that completely broke free from the representational past of traditional “Indian Art.” Maurice Burns was introduced to this group of painters, who had high regard for his work, when he accepted a position at IAIA to set up its Visiting Artists Program. Maurice's current work continues to express his figurative underpinnings, yet he pushes his exploration into the unknown as an art visionary with a strong connection to RB Kitai. Billy Warsoldier is in town and his work and personality are uncontainable. This preview of his new and past work offers a glimpse into how fierce and soulful painting can be, building up to an August exhibition free for all that is sure to make some waves locally and nationally.

Henrieke I. Streckerhas her roots in the Black Forest of southwestern Germany. Her formative and creative years were spent there, and later in Berlin and Frankfurt. In 2008 she relocated to the United States and currently resides and works in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. She has spent her lifetime in photography and alternative photographic techniques. Henrieke's work appears in photographic journals, catalogues, blogs and in books on photographic practices. She teaches The Art of Photography (analog photography)&Historic Photographic Processes at Plymouth State University in New Hampshire.
Henrieke Strecker's photogravures and mixed media images rarely have titles. It is her goal to entice the viewer to become an active observer, to respond to the image so as to find his or her own meaning---presumably a new and very personal tale. Thus, she doesn't document an isolated moment as a documentary photographer would nor does she paint a realistic picture, for Henrieke, this type of photographic rendition is too much like a report. Instead, she gives an account of small movements and atmospheres thereby sharing her experience with the viewer. Her technique requires her to remain still, in her own yard, in one place, and quietly allow her perceptions to emerge --- "to go deeper - unearthing, layer after layer, exposing the fields of vision hidden well beneath the surface." The core of her work is both visual and graphic, simplicity derived from her natural surroundings.
Maggie Tayloris exhibiting both new work and a selection of images from No Ordinary Days, her recent book that is a survey for Maggie's art for the period 1998 through 2012. Maggie continues her characteristic style of scanning and enhancing daguerreotypes, tintypes, figurines, illustrations and photographs for which she then creates surrealistic settings for the featured portrait.
The portraits that Maggie uses for her photomontages, the daguerreotypes and the tintypes, are 19th Century pictures. The technical limitations of the medium at the time, the "film" that captured the subject of the photographs, was slow, not very light sensitive. Often the taking of a picture took several seconds, even minutes. While the lens cap was removed from the camera the photographic subjects were required to sit or stand, perfectly motionless, until the lens cap was replaced on the camera. Photographers used specially made props such as the Brady Stand, a 19th century factory made cast iron side table to act as a prop and to assist the subject to be still. Photographers also learned that a smile was always in motion. Pictures of those who smiled rendered the face blurred and the photo was useless. Hence, the portrait subject was admonished not to move, not to smile, not to blink, and, most importantly, not to change their expression. The subjects dressed for this special occasion presenting themselves for the camera in their best, probably their only formal wear. The clothing was dark, often black, creating a setting that had a funereal air or suggesting the subject was suffering some anguish or discomfort. If the photograph was taken in a studio there would be props, such as a table, sofas, stools, and chair, and perhaps a backdrop, a pastoral setting of trees or the like as the hand painted backdrops found on a stage. Rarely does anyone know the name of the person who was photographed. That identity has long been lost to posterity. Finally, the print made of the subject was totally without color, ashen --- just shades of gray. Consequently, these 19th Century portraits took on a stilted stoic and stiff expression, and worst of all, they were gray. No one ever looked happy; they couldn't smile. In her book, Maggie Taylor's Landscape of Dreams, Maggie shows us four examples of original daguerreotypes and tintypes as she collected them and then how she reconstructs them as her own art.

This year Peggy has focused on her beloved Taos - the people in their daily activities and the diverse scenery from mountains to low-lying valley views. There is a mystical draw to Taos and when Peggy is away her imagination is drawn back to creating art works from that place of honor and awe. As with early Taos artists, Peggy feels that same need to record and express these scenes of the heart of Taos and to share her inspirations with others.

Eight Modern is pleased to announce its upcoming exhibition,Fay Ku: Asa Nisa Masa. Ku stages mythic tableaus of transformation and tension performed by young women (and the occasional boy). The refinement and subtlety of Ku's technique offer an arresting contrast to the raw psychological charge of the scenes she depicts.
Ku is inspired by what she calls the “residues” of human culture. “Problematic relationships and issues of socialization are central themes in my work: stories, myths and things witnessed inspire me,” Ku says. “I never have any preconceived notion of what the work will look like, and I never sketch beforehand. I work to discover what I am thinking, and I have to find my way to the image.”
Working from her imagination, Ku starts by drawing a face, then adds and erases until her ideas coalesce on paper.
“I grew up in two cultures as the child of Chinese immigrants raised in all-white American suburbs,” Ku says. “The intersection of the personal, social and cultural is where my work lives.”
Ku explains the exhibition title Asa Nisa Masa: “It's from Fellini's 8½, where the Fellini-like protagonist remembers when, as a child, he is told the magic words to make a painting come to life at midnight,” Ku explains. “Also, if you take the ‘sa' off the end of each nonsense word, it spells ‘anima.'”
The reference to ‘anima' is fitting, as she utilizes zoomorphism and id-driven characters to examine social norms and human interactions.
Born in Taiwan, Ku moved to America when she was three. Her bold use of negative space and clean, calligraphic line recall traditional Asian art, while her focus on the figure is more characteristic of American art. Conflict pervades her work, as her line is both urgent and graceful; her images are violent yet coolly stylized.
Ku earned an M.S. in Art History and an M.F.A. in Studio Art from the Pratt Institute. She earned a dual B.A. in literature and visual arts from Bennington College. Ku has been awarded numerous residencies from organizations such as the New York Foundation for the Arts, the Santa Fe Art Institute, the National Performance Network, the University of Nevada-Las Vegas and the Bemis Center for Contemporary Art. Currently based in Brooklyn, the artist has also received grants from the New York Foundation for the Arts, the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation, the A.I.R. Emerging Artist Fellowship, the National Performance Network and the Urban Artists Initiative. Her work resides in the collections of the Asian American Art Centre in New York, The Contemporary Museum in Hawaii, the New Britain Museum of American Art and the University of New Mexico Art Museum.

Teri Yarbrow and Max Almy are Emmy, AFI and NEA award winning internationally exhibited video and installation artists known for pushing the boundaries of art and technology. Their complex installations seamlessly combine video, constructed surfaces, painting, digital imagery, flat screens and video projection to create dramatic, mesmerizing artworks. The newest creations are mandala-like multi-media pieces that incorporate flat screens behind large waterjet-cut, patinated copper circles, on to which moving digital images are projected that spill on to the wall and span a diameter of 72 inches.
Projecting computer-generated digital images of translucent color on stationary geometric paintings on aluminum panels, Matthew Kluber's new media constructions create a hyper-color field space at the intersection of the virtual world and the physical world. His still imagery—based on the horizontal lines of collapsed digital data that result from a computer crash—is painted on the metal support with fluorescent colors to mimic the luminosity of the computer monitor. The projected images range from beams of light and geometric patterns to colorful looping patters that provide an ever-changing kaleidoscope of color and fantasy that transforms a space.
The Berlin That I Have Seen, by Susan Herdman is comprised of photographs of Berlin that have been collaged based upon formal relationships of color, form and texture, then projected in a continuous stream in a large format video. The juxtaposition of the images goes beyond the formal qualities and comments on the vestiges of violence and chaos of war that remain in the city and that have become a canvas for young street artists who incorporate the ravages of their city's history into their art.

Teri Yarbrow and Max Almy are Emmy, AFI and NEA award winning internationally exhibited video and installation artists known for pushing the boundaries of art and technology. Their complex installations seamlessly combine video, constructed surfaces, painting, digital imagery, flat screens and video projection to create dramatic, mesmerizing artworks. The newest creations are mandala-like multi-media pieces that incorporate flat screens behind large waterjet-cut, patinated copper circles, on to which moving digital images are projected that spill on to the wall and span a diameter of 72 inches.
Projecting computer-generated digital images of translucent color on stationary geometric paintings on aluminum panels, Matthew Kluber's new media constructions create a hyper-color field space at the intersection of the virtual world and the physical world. His still imagery—based on the horizontal lines of collapsed digital data that result from a computer crash—is painted on the metal support with fluorescent colors to mimic the luminosity of the computer monitor. The projected images range from beams of light and geometric patterns to colorful looping patters that provide an ever-changing kaleidoscope of color and fantasy that transforms a space.
The Berlin That I Have Seen, by Susan Herdman is comprised of photographs of Berlin that have been collaged based upon formal relationships of color, form and texture, then projected in a continuous stream in a large format video. The juxtaposition of the images goes beyond the formal qualities and comments on the vestiges of violence and chaos of war that remain in the city and that have become a canvas for young street artists who incorporate the ravages of their city's history into their art.

ForJohn Geldersma, after 25 years of exhibiting in Santa Fe, the Spirit Pole has become his signature form. From the first sculptures made of driftwood pulled out of the Mississippi River, to the gentle figurative curves of the aspen poles he now employs, Geldersmas' Spirit Poles have grown and changed with the artist and come to define his aesthetic.
Variations presents approximately 20 new Spirit Poles, all individual works, yet connected to the whole. The installation resembles a "forest" of colorfully painted and carved sculpture and the work evokes a tribal feel that speaks to the connection between earth and sky. Carved with dynamic cuts and smooth edges, then marked with primary colors within a burned black ground, the surface design pushes and pulls your eye around the form.
John Geldersma has an extensive national exhibition record in both public and private spaces, with the most recent public exhibition at the Acadian Center for the Arts, Lafayette LA. This is Geldersma's third solo exhibition at Chiaroscuro.

EVOKE Contemporary proudly presents Lynn Boggess in a solo exhibition. The show is scheduled to open in Santa Fe on Friday, June 7, 2013 and will run through June 30, 2013. There will be a reception for the artist on Friday, June 7th from 5 – 7pm and the public is invited.

These landscapes overwhelm the senses with lush and vivid scenes while also allowing room for meditation on the deeper relations between human life and the natural world.

He received a BA in Art Education from Fairmont State College and an MFA in Painting from Cranbrook Academy of Art, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. He has been Professor of Art at Fairmont State College since 1990 and Coordinator of the Art Department since 2002.

Roger Hayden Johnson captures the rich colors of sunlight at dawn and dusk in his architectural landscapes. He travels the back roads of the Southwest, Spain, and Portugal, as well as those of the Italian and French regions of Tuscany, Umbria, Burgundy, Provence, and the Perigord, in search of old and indigenous architectural structures. In the few short minutes right after sunrise or the fleeting moments before sundown, he takes photos in his favorite light--that spectacular long-shadowed light of intense, rich color and cool, deep shadow. It's this special light that brings a sense of stillness and tranquility to Johnson's paintings.
Roger Hayden Johnson taught himself to paint the landscapes near the small Iowa farm where he grew up. He later studied art at Central College in Pella, Iowa, and earned a Master's degree in art and art history at the University of Northern Iowa and a Master of Fine Arts degree in painting at Drake University in Des Moines. After having lived in Paris and Munich, Johnson moved with his family to Colorado Springs, Colorado, in 1984. He began traveling into the mountains and valleys of northern New Mexico, where he fell in love with the earth-colored walls of old adobe buildings. With its small Spanish speaking communities clustered around churches, the area reminded him of Europe. And when the sun slanted low across these solid, age-graced structures, he was hooked.
New Mexico sculptor, Hib Sabin creates masks, spirit sticks, amulets, spirit bowls, and boats, often-incorporating creatures such as- wolves, owls, ravens, bears, coyotes, and eagles. The pieces are finished in watercolor and acrylic and then steel wool and sandpaper are incorporated to create an aged quality. Juniper and pinon woods are used most often, as they are both native to New Mexico.
He is inspired by Shamanic practices from tribal cultures around the world. The sculptor has traveled across the world studying traditions and cultures, including those of the curanderos in Mexico and tribes in India.
Hib is inspired by Inuit sculptures, Mexican folk art and the mythological cultures of Native Americans. Hib carves animals and instills them with an energy that captivates the viewer.
Many of the pieces he carves are custom made, honoring specific totem animals requested by patrons. He is particularly interested in the symbolism of bears, wolves, ravens and owls, and they appear in many of his works.

LewAllen Galleries presents Sammy Peters: Internal Narrative, an exhibit of new multi-media paintings by this master of unique and playful forms of abstraction. Through a complex interplay of expressive brushwork, sweeping gestural marks, drips and collage, Peters fills large-scale canvas with his signature muted hues and architectonic forms, while employing new, more saturated tones and jazzy rhythms. Drawing on the twentieth-century aesthetic of Modernism, Peters' painterly geometric shapes have been compared to the works of Richard Diebenkorn and Phillip Guston. “Painting is a way for the artist to feel a connection with and contribute to an internal narrative (his/her fiction) that seems to mercifully cloak our lives, protecting and insulating us from a barren, unresponsive reality. Many truths. Interacting with the truthful fiction that comforts our lives,” says Peters of his most recent works.

Grounded in the aesthetic possibilities and lineage of pure geometry and architectural form, Manus is particularly acclaimed for her exploration of volumetric relationships, line, scale, and monochromatic color in aluminum sculpture. For over forty years, Manus has created evocative sculpture ranging in size from table-top and wall-mounted to monumental freestanding works.
Rendering physical manifestations of shapes in metal, Manus orchestrates form and line with both a straightforward sense of purity as well as intriguing relational complexity. Her interest is to explore themes of volumetric interplay and linear infinity, rendered with an exuberant sense of playful imagination. Her vector-like trajectories of aluminum seem to have been frozen in motion, carving for them permanence in time. Her predilection for and facility with angular and clearly defined shapes is informed by her study of modern architecture and sculptors such as David Smith and Anthony Caro. She has been termed a “late Constructivist,” related historically to forebears such as Alexander Rodchenko. Manus celebrates the monumentality and freedom of contemporary metal sculpture with an inventive elegance. “If we require an artist to throughly exhaust every matrix of stylistic possibilities, we may conclude that [Manus] has assumed an ethical obligation to continue to explore aesthetically the unfished business of Constructivism,” said Mark Price of Sculpture magazine.

These workshops invite you to hold "A New Conversation" with yourself by going deeply within to gain a deeper understanding of your true-self, your personal needs, goals and spiritual sense of place in the world. You will be inspired by "Thinking Outside the Box," be surprised about what you'll learn and ... have FUN doing it! Many people come for the deep relaxation exercises for stress relief alone!
The innovative, non-judgmental atmosphere of the workshops promotes Creativity and Thinking Outside the Box! You'll get direction, focus and clarity about your life and make new discoveries about yourself.
The methods used in workshops are gentle, non-obtrusive, highly effective and creative. You engage in Deep Relaxation and Creative Visualization Exercises and participate in Vision Quests and Guided Imagery Exercises that are designed to switch off your analytical mind and tap into your subconscious wisdom. NLP - Neuro linguistic Programming, Hypnotherapy and Transpersonal Psychology techniques are used to help you reach dreaml-ike states of deep relaxation for internal inquiry. You'll discover the hidden gems within and get answers to your questions about life that help you move forward.
The exercises inspire contemplation, inquisitiveness, and creativity and often lead to lively discussions when people discuss the "Aha" experiences they had. The right-brained activites invite laughter, empathy and free-flowing conversations.
Short and insightful Art & Writing Exercises are included as part of the experience and often the final outcome becomes a significant insightful piece of information by its creator.
People find they learn a lot from one another and kindle long-lasting friendships from attending these workshops. A past participant said, "This was better than 5 years of Therapy!"
