Friday, 10 February, 2012 - NMSU Art Gallery Meow Wolf Exhibit Opening, Las Cruces

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 17:00:00 -0700

Meow Wolf Presents:

GLITTEROPOLIS!

At The NMSU Art Gallery

Las Cruces, NM

Opening November 30th, 2011 at 5pm

and running through February 18th, 2012

Art collective Meow Wolf travels south into Las Cruces to unveil Glitteropolis, a magical and visceral art experience filled with oddity, surreality, glam, and glitz! Meow Wolf Presents: Glitteropolis will open on Wednesday, November 30th at 5pm at the NMSU Art Gallery, DW Williams Hall, 1390 E. University Ave. (near Solano Ave.) and will run through February 18th, 2012.

Known for maximalist, experiential, interactive environments, Meow Wolf includes all art mediums to create explorable pieces that through which audience members can walk.

Using color-morphing effects on reflective and sparkling surfaces, as well as playfully constructing around the classic 'museum' curatorial sensibility, Glitteropolis will transform the gallery space into an explosion of dazzle, hypernova, and wonderful walkabout.

Meow Wolf will be living in Las Cruces for a month while installing the show. Interactions between Meow Wolf and the NMSU art department will be extensive. As per Meow Wolf ethic, NMSU students will be invited to create and install as part of the collective. As well, Meow Wolf looks to create cultural exchange between the aesthetic developed in Santa Fe and the aesthetic of southern New Mexico for the month while they are living in Las Cruces.

Quotes about Meow Wolf and Meow Wolf Projects:

"This ever-changing, loosely organized pack of young artists began gathering together circa 2008 with the intention of making art for the fun of it. With their reputation as ingenuous--and ingenious--members of the local arts community, Meow Wolf has attracted a growing audience; when Meow Wolf howls, Santa Feans pay attention." - Kathryn Davis, ART LTD, July 2011

"Art Collective Meow Wolf's 'The Due Return' is an audio-visual extravaganza..." JazJazBlog, June 2011

"The future of art in Santa Fe is thriving, thanks to the imagination and initiative of one of its best artist collectives, Meow Wolf." - Kathryn Davis, Visual Art Source, June 2011

"...the real success of what Meow Wolf has concocted here is how it affects your sensory synapses." Jon Carver, THE Magazine, April 2010

"What makes 'The Moon is to Live On' one of the most important pieces of local theater Santa Fe has seen in years, besides its ability to leave its audience either speechless or in tears, is the collaborative effort among multiple artistic disciplines that went into making the production a seamless and seemingly effortless affair." - Rob Dewalt, Pasatiempo, 3/12/10

The World's Greatest Musical. Big League Productions Inc. presents a sparkling new production of the musical by which all others are measured. Based on Shaw's "Pygmalion," with book, music and lyrics by Lerner and Loewe, MY FAIR LADY is triumphant. With "Wouldn't It Be Loverly?," "The Rain in Spain," "I Could Have Danced All Night," "On the Street Where You Live" and "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face." It's no wonder everyone–not just Henry Higgins–falls in love with Eliza Doolittle. The original Broadway production set a record for the longest run of any musical in history. It was followed by a hit London production, a popular film version starring Audrey Hepburn–which won 8 Academy Awards–and numerous revivals. It has been called "the perfect musical."

Tickets are available at the UNM Ticket Offices and select Albertson's locations, by phone at (877) 664-8661 or (505) 925-5858, and online at unmtickets.com. For groups of 20+, call (505) 344-1779 or email groups@popejoypresents.com.
