Still Friends After All These Years
September 11 – October 10, 2026

Opening Reception for the Artists
Friday, September 11 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Gallery Talk: A Conversation with Charles Arnoldi, Ron Cooper, Laddie John Dill and Rani Singh
Saturday, September 12, 2026, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Somewhere between the halls of Chouinard Art Institute and the industrial warehouses and artist lofts of Los Angeles in the 1960's, three young artists met. Each skilled, hungry, and with a restless energy that helped to propel them headlong onto the world stage as rare artistic talents. Later, in 1987, when Charlotte Jackson curated an exhibition of work by these three artists: Charles Arnoldi, Ron Cooper, and Laddie John Dill - they had already known each other twenty years. Still Friends After All These Years once again brings together works, old and new, from all three luminaries, whose art, long associated with the California Light & Space movement, engages and challenges the perceptual experience of viewers.

Exhibition Dates: August 26–October 17
Reception: October 2, 6–8pm

ALBUQUERQUE, NM—Richard Levy Gallery is pleased to present Particle and the Wave: Oracles and Symbols for Living and Dying, a solo show by Alex Ponca Stock.

Particle and the Wave features eight abstract artworks that explore the conjunction of modern technological and scientific knowledge with the ancient knowledge handed down from our ancestors. Using the traditional beaded broadcloth found in Osage regalia, Alex Ponca Stock considers a broad array of modern and historical references, including color field painting, early Christian heresies, ancient mound-builders, and quantum physics. The result of her experimentation with larger-scale work, this exhibition is a mature showcase of Ponca Stock’s ability to visually dissect the currents of 21st century life.

Ponca Stock’s practice combines intensive research with the slow, meditative labor of beading to create objects with a strong sense of internal order. The composition of her soft textile works are often reminiscent of the aesthetic of technology—motherboards, logic gates, 3D renderings—without ever betraying the beauty and integrity of the medium. In her choice of color, Ponca Stock is highly attuned not only to the symbolic and emotional power of color, but its physiological effect.

Alex Ponca Stock (b. 1986) is a painter and beadworker from the Gray Horse District of the Osage Nation and the third generation in her family to graduate from the Kansas City Art Institute. Her work has been exhibited by the Denver Art Museum, the First Americans Museum, and the Osage Nation Museum, among others. The artist currently lives and works in Santa Fe, NM.

Unearthing Futures / Desenterrando Futuros explores contemporary earthen artworks, establishing a profound dialogue between regional roots and global perspectives. As visitors engage with the exhibition, they embark on a journey through time, examining the intricate relationship between humanity and the elemental material of unfired earth.
