    Postcommodity at Museum of Contemporary Native Art

    While driving from Denver back to Santa Fe, I was listening to the Wisconsin Public Radio show, “To The Best of Our Knowledge.” The discussion constellated around national parks, exile, “wilderness,” and specifically the imposed definition, by white people, that “wilderness” ever implied absence of human habitation. Mark Dowie wrote a book on this, Conservation Refugees: The Hundred Year Conflict between Global Conservation and Native Peoples (MIT Press, 2009) — and More …

    Is a Titan IV Stage II rocket engine a work of art? It was designed to fly to Saturn, but never made the journey. How about a B61 Thermonuclear Bomb?
