CHARLOTTE JACKSON FINE ART presents
RON COOPER: Racers and Combos
July 2 - 30, 2025
Opening reception on Friday, July 4 from 5-7 p.m.
554 S. Guadalupe in the Railyard Art District.

Made of long, thin boxes of Plexiglas, from certain angles, they appear to float. On their outward facing surfaces, color, texture and shimmer hover over the wall, while the boxes themselves are filled with light, so that the pieces are lit from within. A spark of light from a lamp or a change in the angle of sun might set off a cascade of shifting hues. What was one thing becomes another. Moment to moment. Day to day. Different, fluid, transforming.

These are Ron Cooper’s Combos, the newest iteration of his Vertical Boxes series. The Combos are created by joining two (or sometimes more) smaller two-foot sections of the Plexiglas boxes together. These combinations play with juxtaposing different colors and textures – for example a shimmering gold above textured blue, or a translucent yellow above a strangely crinkled and roiling gray-pink-blue.

In the gallery along with the Combos are two of his favorite retrofitted racers. For Cooper, becoming an artist wasn’t a forgone conclusion, as a young man he was drawing hotrods, sure he would become the greatest car builder in the world. Art interceded. But today Cooper enjoys both, building and racing cars and continuing to explore light and space with his art.

CHICANAO! Is exhibition of Chicana and Chicano artists working in different media. The show brings together artists from around New Mexico, both living and deceased. There will be over 40 artists and over 80 works shown.

A few of the artists on exhibit are Patricio Trujillo Trujillo y Fuentes, Oscar Lozoya, Delilah Montoya, Cecilio Garcia Camarillo, who first started Espejos de Aztlan. Cecilio has pass on, but his legacy remains. There are artists in varying degrees of their carreers featured in this show, and we, the curators are very happy to have invited to pull together artists.

WINDOWS INTO THE FUTURE: SHARED.FUTURES
Shared.Futures is an ArtScience collaborative, bringing together local scientists and artists to co-create work that imagines possible futures based in ongoing scientific research. This collaborative was formed in 2022 under an NSF- funded grant called the Intermountain West Transformation Network (Award # 2115169), which supports the growth of the Shared.Futures program, participants, and its organizers. The 2022 inaugural event held at the Explora Children’s Science Museum marked the beginning of a collaborative effort towards bringing to life an annual exhibition of interactive ArtScience with Explora partners. Since its inception, the program has evolved into an annual spring fellowship program that mentors five pairs of Artists and Scientists teams through a four-to-five-month workshop. During this transformative experience, participants are guided to collaborate and learn across disciplinary boundaries, fostering the creation of work that envisions pathways toward more sustainable and resilient futures.

This exhibition showcases the final work that has emerged from the Shared.Futures program (2022-2025) and celebrates the hard work from the organizing team who work diligently from behind the scenes to bring each event to life. Each piece in this collection can be seen as its own window looking into the future, giving us glimpses of possible pathways moving forward through an ArtScience lens. Alongside this, the exhibit presents a documentary series of interviews which present the process behind the work created by the participating teams. Then a time capsule for each year is carefully curated to showcase the program’s growth and key milestones that brought each event to life. Ultimately, this exhibition is a celebration of the program’s growth from a simple idea of collaborating across art and science to an annual program that builds intentional capacity for collaborating across disciplinary boundaries and imagining solutions towards our collective future.

The exhibition marks the Spanish Colonial Arts Society's centennial by telling its century-long story of creating and caring for an extraordinary trove of nearly 4,000 objects representing the distinctive Hispano heritage of New Mexico. This provides a unique lens on the Society’s legacy of connecting to a community of artists and supporters of Hispano arts in New Mexico and beyond.
