Celebrating Art and Artists
• Herb and Dorothy
Presented in conjunction with the New Mexico Museum of Art
“Briskly and engagingly cinematic. ... Their compulsive collecting seems at once crazy, smart, generous and enormously endearing.” –Bob Mondello, NPR

With special presentation: 4p Sunday, October 25 screening
Laura Addison, Curator of Contemporary Arts, New Mexico Museum of Art, Museum of New Mexico, will introduce works donated to the museum by the Vogel collection.
• We Live in Public
“Astounding… burrows into the thin and darkly funny spaces between artistry and vanity, isolation and community, collaboration and exploitation, sanity and madness.” –Variety
The mind-bending tale of a series of close-to-the-bone art projects created by tech maverick Joshua Harris highlights the explosive new realities brought on by the Internet, which emphasize connection over privacy, changing the way we relate to each other and to the world.
• Art and Copy
“Possesses enough classy artistry, hip invention, and big-idea philosophy to launch itself into the documentary stratosphere—where it belongs.” –Box Office Magazine
This entertaining dive into the history of modern advertising, from Clairol’s “me generation” to the iPod, celebrates the creation of some of the century’s iconic images, and explores how selling product became an American artform.
• WASTE = FOOD

Presented in conjunction with American Institute of Architects, Santa Fe
American architect William McDonough and German chemist Michael Braungart propose a new industrial revolution, in which everything manufactured is biodegradable or recyclable.
