A SEA in the Desert Gallery: May 2021

May 18, 2021

May 18th Post on current events. This is a staggering time! Since (as stated before) A SEA Gallery had to close due to the "pandemic" and I, NOW the sole member of this organization, am still a socially engaged artist, will write periodically about what I think is occuring on Planet Earth. I have concluded the Covid 19 virus was created by some lab, probably in the USA as a from of bio-enginiering. While we were told that the different vaccines had been tested as 90% + affectiveness to prevent the spread; then we were told it would not prevent our getting,it so we must continue wearing masks. The masks depersonalize everything. One does not recognize friends (or who are unfriendly) everyone, bandits and benign look the same. I have yet to meet a person with Covid, but in the meantime I have lost 3 siblings, 2 to cancer and one to complications of a stroke, not helped by the fire that burnt down Paradise. Ca. and leveled her home and almost melted her car as she barely escaped in a 7 hour drive. To force people to get the vaccine is Facist. It's proof of affectiveness is nil. But my own experience with being around vaccinated people is = something is wrong. The vaccinated people are shedding toxins to others. Put a magnet on to the point where the needle went into the arm: the magnet sticks! There is aluminum in the mix. And i have further proof of it. And Nanobots (sp?) Those in power want this all dismissed as a 'conspiracy' theory. Well it's not just a theory; it is a conspiracy. The truth will emerge. Trust your gut. not your government.

About our Gallery

A Sea Gallery has gone through several stages over a 10 year period. A Sea stands for "Association of Socially Engaged Artists" which began about 2002 with meetings of artist discussing the state of art in Santa Fe as well as politics of the United States and the world at this time. Most of the artists either were or had been political activists, against war, corporate exploitation, empire, etc. and committed to honoring the earth. Over the years since that time I have thought a lot about the artists roll as mirror to a society, addressing social ills and aspirations. It seemed the Santa Fe ‘art scene’ had become increasingly commercial: ‘successful artists’ making a recognizable product for wealthy private collectors or corporations. Much of the art shown was about prestige and investment. The art I was drawn to in major art centers in the USA and in Europe was deeper and more challenging than that. While Santa Fe may have more art galleries than the current economy can support I felt there is room for one more: a gallery of challenging work supported by the artists themselves- a Collective (rather than a cooperative) as the structure is evolving. It’s aesthetic philosophy: Art is shown because of its merit rather than salability. It has an owner (Monika Steinhoff) but no profits are taken out of the gallery. Artists participate in paying expenses, gallery sitting and decisions about running the gallery. Proceeds from sales are between 50 and 70% to the artist, depending on artist involvement. The gallery is small and can have up to 10 members. It has existed at its present location in the Railyard since July 1st 2011.
