'Solastalgic Archive'
Presented by Ent Center for the Arts at Ent Center for the Arts Colorado Springs, CO
Conceived by artist Nina Elder, the Solastalgic Archive holds materials that contextualize and give breadth to the experience of living and making in this time of accelerated change. The evolving archive of objects, images, and conceptual actions collects ephemera of memory, creation, forgetting, destruction, preciousness and transience offered by contributors. It is an evolving, changing, temporal entity that will continue to grow as it is enriched by additions connected to each host venue. Beginning in 2019 with more than 40 artists, and continuing to grow throughout it’s many showings, Elder invites fellow climate conscious artists, scholars and public intellectuals, as well as farmers, spiritual practitioners, indigenous leaders, and activists to contribute something that represents the “solastalgic”. Much like the practicalities of a traditional time capsule, each submission has had only one physical requirement: it must fit in a medium flat rate USPS postal box; boxes in which the exhibition’s objects continue to be carefully stored and moved from venue to venue. The Solastalgic Archive holds contributions from a vast array of people, each asked to consider what connects them to the passage time. Unlike other museum collections, the Solastalgic Archive holds deeply personal items as well as things that change or disappear over time. Harnessing solastalgia as the archives’ organizing principle, the collections exemplify transformation rather than permanence, fleeting relationships rather than immutable. By allowing emotions and ephemerality to displace institutional indifference and contrived eternities, this space enlivens the passage of time. Installed in GOCA’s Project Space, the Solastalgic Archive will evolve over the course of the exhibition…

'The History of the Pikes Peak Snow Run'
Presented by Manitou Springs Heritage Museum at Manitou Springs Heritage Museum Manitou Springs, CO
The Manitou Springs Heritage Museum is excited to launch a new winter exhibit on March 14 called “The History of the Pikes Peak Snow Run,” chronicling motorcycle races to the Pikes Peak summit on New Year’s Day from 1938 to 1982. Learn about the Snow Run throughout the decades: the Snow Run pioneers in the 1930s and 1940s, mid-century madness in the 1950s and 1960s and the reckless abandon that came with the 1970s and 1980s. The exhibit will feature photographs by Pulitzer Prize winner Bob Jackson and by Jim Bensberg along with other artifacts. The opening reception starts at 10 am and will feature a live interview with legendary motorcyclist Bill Brokaw. The Snow Run’s advertising poster boldly claimed “Not for the Rose Parade on TV Types!” In its 44-year history, the Snow Run frightened, frustrated and froze those brave motorcycle racers who dared this feat of what some say was madness.
