Reverberations of a Detonation
Trinity: Reflections on the Bomb explores the cultural shifts and artistic responses to these world-changing explosions.
T
HE WORLD’S FIRST ATOMIC BOMB was
detonated approximately 60 miles north of White
Sands National Monument on July 16, 1945. “Gadget,” as the nuclear device was called, caused a brilliant flash, an intense shock wave, and a giant, ballshaped cloud. It left a half-mile-wide and eight-foot deep crater in the earth. Less than a month later, “Little Boy” exploded over Hiroshima, and three days after that, “Fat Man” leveled the city of Nagasaki. The impact of these nuclear events reverberates 75 years after the detonation at the Trinity site. To acknowledge that fateful event, the Albuquerque Museum presents Trinity: Reflections on the Bomb. The exhibition presents 75 years of artistic responses to radioactivity, Trinity, and its continuing effects. Additionally, the Museum will offer educational programming to expand the content of the exhibition. More than 50 artists will be represented, including Emil Bisttram, Karsten Creightney, Leigh Anne Langwell, Raymond Jonson, Bea Mandelman, Patrick Nagatani, Bruce Nauman, Anne Noggle, Tony Price, Meridel Rubenstein, Hideo Sakata, Yukiyo Kawano, Will Wilson, Tom Joyce, and Eve Laramée.

well as the downwinders perspective— those who lived nearby but whose plight has been largely ignored. They are still fighting for compensation and recognition of detrimental health impacts. Traugott says he likes to show objects that may not be thought of as “works of art.” These objects provide historical context. For example, Trinity features an ashtray made with a uranium oxide glaze to make it orange. The viewer of the object can see it from multiple perspectives—is it just an ashtray, with its inherent link to cigarettes, or is it representative of something more?

Similarly, the exhibition includes four covers

Visiting Artist Program Receives Grant Funding THIS JUNE, artist Nicola López will install Haunted in the Albuquerque Museum lobby as part of the annual Visiting Artist program. López’s works reflect how nature has been marked by human actions: López writes, “Haunted is a site-responsive installation created for the lobby of the Albuquerque Museum that reflects on how all landscapes are now and forever haunted by our inescapable, human presence.” The collaged, printed, and hand-drawn elements will be installed directly on the walls to create a hybrid landscape connecting geologic and human built features. López will be the first visiting artist to receive funds from a grant the Museum received from the Frederick Hammersley Foundation, to help pay for materials, to support installation costs, to cover lodging costs and to pay the artists a per diem. All visiting artists receive a moderate stipend, housing if necessary, and installation support. With this funding, the Visiting Artist program also offers more interaction with the artists, docent training, and Third Thursday programming.
