Show opens March 2, 2007 and runs through March 31, 2007
For the last eighteen years, Joe Triscari has been photographing sacred images for a work in progress titled Journeys of the Spirits. For Triscari, the project became a spiritual adventure through Colorado, Wyoming and Utah to create a visual chronicle of sacred sites. The series has been exhibited in its entirety in the Smithsonian Institution's Arts and Industries Building, Denver International Airport, the Museum of Outdoor Arts, and the Aurora History Museum.
Dedicated to preserving rock art thru education, Joe Triscari has worked closely with Native Americans to help make the public aware of the significance of the images and the teaching they employ. In a statement about the series, Triscari writes "Part of the wisdom and worship of the native American people has been their recognition of 'places of power' or more popularly called sacred sites. This exhibit brings the ancient native American sacred petroglyph and ceremony sites together."
CHAC (Chicano Humanities and Art Council) will be showing selected works from the series "Journeys of the Spirits" which opens on Friday, March 2nd and runs through March 30th. Joe Triscari's work will be featured in CHAC Norte's gallery along with Michael Lee Garcia, Stevon Lucero and Dr. George Rivera. CHAC's galleries are located at 772 Santa Fe Drive at the heart of Denver's premier art district.
