Beautifully ethereal metallic prints customized with precision color line work,

These one of a kind prints exemplifies the attention to detail that characterizes both collaborating artists.

Thank you and we hope to see you there!!

Ziindi zine spent the weekend in Santa Fe for the Indian market weekend, and we had a blast checking out the art, the local scenery, and all the green chili we could handle! We wanted to thank the good people of Santa Fe for being so accommodating and friendly and the fine weather that mother nature provided!

We arrived early Monday morning in Santa Fe at our rented house, and quickly got comfortable in anticipation for the week ahead of us. The rented house was exactly what we needed in terms of privacy and a place to decompress between events. We even managed to squeeze in a little work, starting with an impromptu photo shoot with the Rez Deep t-shirt line we produced.

After all the hilarity and silliness with the self promo shots, we wanted to check out the Wheelwright museum’s exhibit. I had read the books about the friendship that Mary Wheelwright had with Hosteen Klah, and how they had tirelessly worked together to produce a record of the chant ways that Hosteen Klah practiced.

The original exhibition included original sandpainting rugs, but we had the pleasure of experiencing original Chief phase rugs, as well as a few Pueblo Mantas. The traditionally designed rugs were worn as blankets and the amount of detail shown in these legacy pieces amazed us. The current exhibition also featured amazing beadwork by Orlando Dugi and Kenneth Williams that went above and beyond typical beadwork.

By Wednesday we were in full swing and we swung by the opening show at Blue Rain Gallery, Jeff Slim did not disappoint with his series of work, Breeze’s art was well represented with the record paintings he produced, and Cannupa Hanska Luger’s sculptures finished off the evening nicely. We also checked out the SWAIA event at the Santa Fe Hilton and rubbed elbows with the art elite, and participating market members.

We spent Thursday morning touring the IAIA campus and checking out all the amazing tools available to the students, and after a nice lunch we adjourned to the Winterrowd gallery for Contemporary Native Art Magazine’s release party, where we saw Kathy Whitman-Elk Woman’s fantastic sculptures. A new weaving by Melissa Cody provide a nice punctuation mark to the evening.

On Friday we attended the Presence 4.0 social event and met many great people who were stylish and hip. After a few snacks and hanging out with friends we managed to catch the Winterrowd gallery opening event.

We hit our stride on Saturday, and managed to check out a few booths at Indian Market. After which we participated in the Stripes Magazine launch party at the Agave Lounge. The hotel staff and managers were very attentive and the event was a huge success! We conversed and danced the night away and left with plenty of good memories.

By Sunday, we were tired and happy, but we knew we would be coming back to Santa Fe to enjoy more market events. Our drive back was highlighted by impressive cloud formations that teased us with sprinkles, and eventually receded into muggy weather as we arrived back in Phoenix.

Overall the trip was excellent and we wanted to thank everyone for the great time; Isreal Shortman, Jaque Fragua, Jeremy Arviso, Daniel San, Katja Lehmann, Silvester Hustito, Presence 4.0, Jaclyn Roessel, Andrea Preston, Nanibaa Beck, Kate Crowley, Nani Chacon, Jeremy/Jerrel/Judy Singers, Patrick Hubbell, Jules Badoni, Ave Chee, Jonathan Nelson, Cloudface, Randy Boogie, Douglas Miles, Grace Miles, Tom Greyeyes, Breeze, Clarenda Begay, Bahe Whitethorne Jr., Jacob Meders, Chelsea Chee, Nia MacKnight, Charvel Baldwin, and Yatika Fields.

The summer weather is upon us in Phoenix, and here at Ziindi, we’re spending a lot of time inside planning for the fall and winter seasons.  1Spot gallery is also on a little hiatus during this time and is devoted to showcasing Damian Jim‘s work currently.  The Indigogo campaign was a success and we succeeded in our fund raising goals.  We’re also proud to announce that a few artists who have been showcased in Ziindi before will be appearing in a new article.

Damian Jim has always utilized various media for his work, and recently he has been creating a lot of work via his iPad.  From floating toothy orbs to swirling hypnotic colors, he creates an alternate digital reality where color moves to a different beat.  The gallery is also showcasing painted works from past shows as well as new paintings that show his versatility with different mediums.  Damian’s work will be showcased from June 7th to August 2nd.  For more information on Damian Jim, visit his website at: http://damianjim.com

The Indigogo campaign was a success and with everyone’s contribution, our first wall mural artist, Jaque Fragua, created a stunning mural that is now splashed on the wall next to 1Spot Gallery.  We are humbled and blessed to receive the public’s support in bringing more Indigenous perspectives to the Phoenix art scene.  We would also like to thank Margaret Gabaldon, without whom this project would not have succeeded.  Margaret’s collaboration with 1Spot Gallery and Ziindi allowed for the success of this project.  Now that we have the first mural completed, we’re looking forward to showcasing the next mural project.  The Phoenix Youth Hostel and Cultural Center also helped in advertising the new mural with a mural tour that allowed Jaque to speak about his piece.  This unique collaboration inspired the Downtown Devil, an online publication for downtown ASU students, to write an accompanying article as well.

Mural progress and the completed mural

New collaboration will raise awareness of indigenous art through murals

Northern Arizona’s Mountain Living Magazine will feature several artists that have shown their work in previous issues of Ziindi.  The July issue will feature Bahe Whitethorne Jr, Charmaine Xiana Clitso, Damian Jim, Nani Chacon, and Ryan Singer.  These Flagstaff affiliated artists are part of the next generation of contemporary Native artists and we’re very excited to see them in this article.

1Spot Gallery is still open during the summer and by appointment, if you would like to reserve a viewing day, please contact Michelle @ 602 281-0697, or by email: Michelle@ziindi.com.  We have some exciting shows coming up in the fall, and a couple Ziindi events that we will post the details on when the details are solidified.  Thank you, and we hope to see you soon!!

Thank you to everyone who’s contributed to the Indiegogo campaign! We’re close to reaching our goal and we wanted to share Jaque’s progress with the mural.

There is still time to contribute to a fund that helps to provide the following for Native artists.

– an on-going donation box for Native public art in Phoenix and beyond, (the immediate kick-off project will be a mural in downtown Phoenix, starting May 29th, 2013)

– supplies: $1000 to pay for paint supplies, rental equipment such as lifts, ladders, spray-guns,

– basic necessities for the artists such as water, snacks, fruit roll-ups, etc.

Thank you and stop by to check out this great new piece on Roosevelt Row!
