Santa Fe, NM-Ten students from the Institute of American Indian Art's sculpture program will present their work in the school's sixth annual sculpture exhibition in the museum's Roland Sculpture Garden. The exhibition, Bare Nation: Sculptors from IAIA, opens to the public on Sunday, May 11, 2008 at 2:00 p.m. and will remain on view for one year.
The opening will be complemented with ceremonial drumming by the IAIA Confederacy, a student drum group, followed by a discussion/presentation by the students in the museum's theater.

Materials such as welded steel, laminated wood, plastic panels, cast metal, clay, bone, and fur have been used to represent how a new generation of Indian artists is extending the boundaries of their cultural expression.
The exhibit will remain in the garden from May 2008 through April 2009. During the course of the year the sculptors will periodically alter their works in response to weather and light changes with the seasons. It will be an on-going event.
The exhibit is curated by Dana Chodzko, sculpture professor at IAIA, and Robert Kasal, research associate at MIAC.

The exhibition Comic Art Indigène also opens at the museum on Sunday, May 11, 2008 at 2:00 p.m.
