Thomas Isaac (MFA '06) Building Collaborative Domicile Near Navajo National Monument, Navajo, AZ

Photo courtesy of Thomas Isaac

Looking for a way to pay homage to his Navajo roots, Thomas Isaac, (MFA '06), in collaboration with Brooklyn-based design collaborative, XLXS, has decided to build a shelter that responds to the traditional Navajo architecture of the Hogan.

He intends to make a domicile for local artists to share and collaborate and visitors to appreciate. Having grown up on the Navajo Nation, Isaac believes that this type of unique dwelling for the community is exactly what is needed to conserve and celebrate the local artists and cultural beauty the people have to offer.

Isaac has acquired a one-acre piece of land located just 10 minutes from the Navajo National Monument that attracts many tourists.  He would like the shelter to be an open gathering place for visitors as well as locals.

Completion of this all-volunteer project is dependent on funding.  For more information or to donate please visit shelter or www.isaaccaasi.com.

Julia Barbosa Landois (MFA '07) Exhibition at Box 13 ArtSpace, Houston

Landois' (MFA '07) installation, The more you honor Me, the more will I bless you, is inspired by the practice of slipping photographs and notes beneath the feet of sacred statues as a plea for assistance.  The installation centers on a pedestal topped by a teetering column of paper ephemera that threatens to grow beyond the confines of the exhibition space. At the apex, barely visible, are the feet of a saint or deity, pushed by the tower through the ceiling and beyond.  The more you honor Me, the more will I bless you is an ode to solace sought by ritual exchange, a gesture of control when control eludes us.  The piece is on view from the street 24 hours a day in Box 13's Window Box space.  

 

The more you honor Me, the more I will bless you
