Thank you for all the amazing support for Alina and ASAP 🫶🫶 what a wonderful night celebrating the land and art 🥰🏜️

“Love Letters to Avi Kwa Ami” by Alina Lindquist

Each of these paintings started with work on location. I primarily paint “en plein air”, using small canvas boards to capture the initial gestures of the landscape. I then use these smaller paintings to inform my process back in the studio, where I make larger, more detailed works. I aim to capture the character of the land; sometimes it’s the serene silence the desert exudes, and other times it’s the playful dances the Joshua trees appear to be performing. I listen to what the desert has to say in those moments and then translate it with paint.

This landscape is a sight to behold. It has given me so much inspiration, wonder, and beauty. The paintings in this exhibition are not just a reflection of this landscape, but also reflect my deep connection to and admiration for Avi Kwa Ame National Monument and all it protects.

“Immersed in the Mystery” 2024, Oil on Canvas, 36x48in

“Love Letters to Avi Kwa Ami” by Alina Lindquist

In January 2024 I came to the Mystery Ranch (an art and ecology research station within Avi Kwa Ame National Monument) as an artist in residence. From that first visit, I knew I wanted to explore, learn from, and paint this inspiring and provocative landscape. I made a dozen trips to the 800 square mile monument at the Southern tip of Nevada from January to June, exploring the panoramic views, hidden canyons, mountain ridgelines and secluded springs, and this exhibition is a record of my deep respect for the magic of this place.

Avi Kwa Ame is the Mojave word for Spirit Mountain, a site that holds profound cultural significance. It is revered as sacred by the ten Yuman-speaking tribes (including the Mojave), the Southern Paiute, and the Hopi. This land became a national monument in 2023, and that status not only underscores its importance to these groups, but also protects its Mojave Desert ecosystems, rare Sonoran grasslands, and juniper-pine woodlands. I spent countless days in the Wee Thump area (ancient ones in the Paiute Language) amidst the Joshua trees and blackbrush.

Images of “From Where I Am” by Jessica Oreck 🗺️

Multi-disciplinary artist Jessica Oreck often says that she collects the invisible. Not the magical, science-fiction version, but the stuff of life that is so commonplace, it has receded below our collective conscious awareness.

Working across film, animation, collage, photography, miniatures, and large-scale installation, all of Jessica’s work creates a sense of wonder about those invisible, overlooked aspects of the everyday.

In 2021, Jessica opened a museum in Las Vegas, NV called the Office of Collection and Design. It is devoted to the minuscule, the forgotten, and the discarded. It is essentially a 1000 square-foot installation - a palpable, interactive manifestation of nostalgia. Visitors have described the museum as “a mix of your grandparent’s attic and Hogwarts Castle.” Through the museum, Jessica presents various associated traveling exhibits, installations, and workshops around the US.

The Office of Collecting and Design also doubles as both an animation studio and a prop house for Jessica’s extensive work in film and animation. Two of her bite-sized, animated series were commissioned by TED, and more are underway for a soon-to-launch network.

Her films have been shown at festivals including Sundance, SXSW, and Tribeca as well playing theatrically around the world. The Criterion Collection recently hosted a retrospective of her documentary features.

When not making films, Jessica spends her time collecting - and these days - sharing those collections with visitors from around the world.
