The New Mexico History Museum invites the public to an insightful afternoon with Margaret Wood, author of In the Painter’s Kitchen, for the first event in a series called “New Mexico on a Plate with Chef Johnny Vee and Friends." Vee will lead a conversation with Wood about her recollections of 70 recipes from Georgia O’Keeffe’s kitchen, stemming from Wood’s five years as O’Keeffe’s companion and personal chef. Wood will share charming memories and historical anecdotes, revealing how O’Keeffe directed the preparation of simple, delicious meals using fresh ingredients, paying meticulous attention to every step of the process. The event will include a Q & A session following the conversation, as well as a tasting of a dish prepared by Chef Johnny Vee and inspired by O’Keeffe’s recipes. This event is free, but space is limited so early arrival is recommended.

Poet, publisher, gallerist, artist Geoffrey Young eschewed the traditional route of climbing the establishment ladder, instead operating in parallel. Yet he is no outsider artist. His thumb has always been on the pulse of the avant-garde, whether in art or poetry.

The Figures began as a small literary press in Berkeley in the 1970s but it continually charted new territory, championing one of the most influential movements in latter 20th century literature — “language poetry.” And The Geoffrey Young Gallery always shined a light on young artists just breaking onto the scene. Perhaps Geoffrey Young, instead, is the ultimate insider artist. A true poet’s poet. Certainly a significant figure worthy of a closer look. "The Figures: An Abstract on Geoffrey Young" traverses the studios of artists & writers in his orbit as they dive into a freewheeling volley on the art making practice, lineages and the essence of time & language itself.
