Becky Holtzman & David Ondrik

In partnership with the 516 Arts & the Land/Art project of New Mexico, SCA Contemporary Art is pleased to present the first exhibition in this series.

The Dowser Married the Alchemist is a collaborative effort of artists Becky Holtzman and David Ondrik. Holtzman and Ondrik have historically collaborated inconspicuously -- Ondrik photographing the Rio Grande bosque while Holtzman gathers downed branches and twigs for her sculptural work.

In their first collaborative exhibition, the artists explore an ongoing discussion regarding the many contradictions implicit in our relationship to nature: assisting nature reparations versus leaving it alone, what it means to capture and /or mimic nature; and the benefits and costs of both managed and uncontrolled wilderness. The Dowser Married the Alchemist is Ondrik's and Holtzman's collaborative exploration of land as a catalyst for human intimacy.

Gallery hours: Thursday & Fridays 12pm-5pm and by appointment (We strongly encourage you to visit the space, please allow 24 hours for appointments to see exhibition).
