Ad Infinitum: Artists Against War and Imperialism

Ad Infinitum: Artists Against War and Imperialism

The New Mexico State University Art Museum (UAM) is pleased to present the first NMSU Department of Art exhibition in Devasthali Hall: Together Through as Within, on view from January 20-March 11, 2023 and curated by Leslie Moody Castro. Concurrently, the exhibition Ad Infinitum: Artists Against War and Imperialism, on view January - May 20, 2023 and curated by Dr. Joanna Matuszak, Visiting Assistant Professor of Contemporary Art History, will feature selections from the NMSU Permanent Art Collection in the Bunny Conlon Modern and Contemporary Art Gallery. 

In the Bunny Conlon Modern and Contemporary Art Gallery Ad Infinitum: Artists Against War and Imperialism presents war-era posters and artworks from the NMSU Permanent Art Collection that address twentieth-century imperialism and its effects: militarization, nuclear arms race, destruction of human lives, and damage to the natural environment. Curated by Dr. Joanna Matuszak, Visiting Art History Professor in the Department of Art, this exhibition also highlights violence and methods of survival, which not only characterize wars, but are often enacted by children and adults in the form of games.
