Saturday May 5 with 17 new works, 2-4 pm at Cibola Gallery, following Outdoor Sculpture Workshop at Mountain Arts on Broadway. A day on Broadway in Mountainair.
As a possibly irreverent aside, I ask. "Who does not know about Quinciera and Sweet Sixteen?" Yet, what does the number seventeen suggest? Senior year, the magazine, a year away from legal drinking age and registering for Selective Service?
Symbolically, 17 represents the junction between material and spiritual, is an ominous number for Italians (and Romans before them), called "antiphraxis" (interposition) by the Greeks because it is located between the numbers sixteen (square number) and eighteen (double square). Also 1+7=8. The number 8 is harmony and balance, abundance and power, lucky in Asia, Eight Laws of Charity in Judaism, Eightfold path in Buddhism.

I am going to go look at the
ReplyDeleteCibola web page to see if they have published the 17 pieces of new art work. That would be wonderful!
A good idea but don't hold your breath ~ happened just 1-2x and that was years ago, when Meg was a member and Dennis helped with page. Last show update was 2006. Periodically, I think about reviewing local pages and online media presence
