Tuesday, Sept. 18th: 4-6 pm: UNM Art dedication of two public art pieces: 1) “Gate­ways to Lupus” (2012) by Artist Matthew Lutz was com­mis­sioned jointly by the City of Rio Ran­cho Arts Com­mis­sion and UNM. The art­work is com­prised of nine Cor-ten steel arches arranged in the shape of the con­stel­la­tion Lupus (the Lobo/Wolf), as seen from above. 2) “Bevel” (2004) by Tom Wal­dron was pur­chased by the New Mex­ico Depart­ment of Cul­tural Affairs’ 1% for the Arts pro­gram and placed at UNM-West. For more than years Wal­dron has been trans­form­ing sheet metal into ele­gant, sen­sual and mas­sive forms from his New Mex­ico stu­dio. Wal­dron, who stud­ied at UNM, has an exten­sive, nation­ally rec­og­nized body of work. To find out more about these public works of art at UNM West, go here.
