New Red Order: Crimes Against Reality
through August 27, 2023

New Red Order: Crimes Against Reality examines the contradictions inherent in a society built on both the longing for indigeneity and the violent erasure of Indigenous peoples, lands, and ways of life. NRO provocatively questions how these desires can be channeled into something productive, sustainable, and transformative. Before it came to RedLine, Culture Capture: Crimes Against Reality was on display at the Museum of Modern Art.

Orisons
through June 2025

Pictured above is the future site of Marguerite Humeau’s Orisons, San Luis Valley, Colorado, 2022. Produced by Black Cube Nomadic Art Museum, Orisons is an unprecedented, 160-acre earthwork by artist Marguerite Humeau that pays homage to Colorado’s San Luis Valley, the world’s largest alpine valley. Through kinetic and interactive sculptures, Humeau sensitively incorporates the surrounding environment into the work itself.

The Mercury Oracle

The exterior wall of the Dairy features a selection of six cards from this Oracle reminding patrons to Plant Seeds, Harmonize with Patterns, Call Upon the Dead, and more.  The Mercury Oracle is a robust 88 card  divinatory tool.  Full of tried and true cosmologies, contemporary techniques, and oblique strategies, it is meant to help anyone from beginners to seasoned pros navigate an ever changing world through its otherworldly yet direct illustrations. It is accompanied by a beautifully written 100 page booklet full of magical metaphors and a deep knowledge of the mercurian world.

Monumomentum
through August 2023

TAD is an acronym for Temporary Alternative Duty, but it also could stand for Toby and Don, aka the artist/curatorial duo Tobias Fike and Donald Fodness, who dream up DIY art exhibitions on the experimental side. Their latest project, Monumomentum, is a giant collection of video art by Donna Conlon, Gary Emrich, Kevin Sweet, the Thorn Collaborative (Erin Ethridge and Colleen Marie Foley) and Matthew Weedman. It will be a feature for Night Lights Denver throughout August, projected on the outer wall of the Daniels and Fisher Clocktower at 16th and Arapahoe streets, as well as on giant downtown LED display screens. Follow TAD’s ongoing projects on Instagram.

Depicting the female form is a way to express the deepest, darkest corners of the artist’s inner world. For Morrell, these images are reflections of shame, fear, greed, hatred, and doubt—turned inside out and transformed. When Morrell paints, he is his most connected, most confident, most present, most powerful self, and that act creates meaning for him in his artwork. Looking at these paintings, is looking at the artist’s JOY. Maybe you can feel the same outpouring of love, abundance, and connection when you view them.

Dave Yust: Evidence Of Gravity And Other Works
Through October 1, 2023

Dave Y?st, a longtime Colorado artist and educator based in Fort Collins, is a featured artist as part of Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art's 20th anniversary celebration.

The Story Behind Andy Warhol’s ‘Velvet Underground and Nico’ Cover, the Newly Crowned Best Album Art of All Time

On Monday, Billboard released its list of the greatest album covers of all time, and the winner was not Robert Mapplethorpe (the photographer behind a famed Patti Smith record), Peter Blake (who, with his wife, Jann Haworth, did an iconic image for the Beatles), or even George Condo (whose paintings became synonymous with Kanye West for a bit), but Andy Warhol, who took the top honors for the 1967 album The Velvet Underground and Nico.
