‘LUCY R. LIPPARD: NOTES FROM THE RADICAL WHIRLWIND’, NEW MEXICO MUSEUM OF ART
24 October 2025 – 9 August 2026
This exhibition Lucy R. Lippard: Notes from the Radical Whirlwind features a selection of objects from the collection, spanning two galleries at the Vladem Contemporary, and traces Lippard’s prolific career, honouring her contribution to the art world. A resident of New Mexico since 1993, Lucy Lippard’s focus on the local has prompted exhibitions, panels, letters to the editor, and books exploring the histories and archeological landscapes of the state. In 1999, following a national travelling exhibition titled Sniper’s Nest: Art That Has Lived with Lucy Lippard curated by Neery Melkonian, the New Mexico Museum of Art was the beneficiary of over 500 artworks, artist’s books, posters, political buttons, and activist ephemera. These objects, which chart Lippard’s considerable activities and consequential personal relationships, have been gifted to her over the years by friends, partners, collaborators, and hopeful artists. Ana Mendieta & Michelle Stuarts works are on view alongside artists including Eva Hesse, Agnes Denes, Melanie Yazzie, Kathy Vargas.
