Now that we've got Agnes Martin's Galisteo home listed on crewnewmexico.com, we wanted to spread the word about a great upcoming event - the screening of local documentarian Mary Lance's AGNES MARTIN: WITH MY BACK TO THE WORLD
Shot over a period of four years, from 1998 through 2002, Agnes Martin's ninetieth year, interviews with Martin are inter-cut with shots at work in her studio in Taos, New Mexico, with photographs and archival footage, and with images of her work from over five decades. In it Martin speaks about her work, her working methods, her life as an artist, and her views about the creative process. She also discusses her film, "Gabriel" and reads from her poetry and lectures. In keeping with Martin's chosen life of solitude, she alone appears in the documentary.
The film has received great acclaim around the world -- don't miss this chance to see it here!
Special 2:00 PM Showings September 6th and 7th at Albuquerque's Guild Cinema.
