Exhibition Details
Exhibition Overview
Belen-based photographer Robert Christensen has been capturing New
Mexico’s vernacular architecture for more than four decades, seeking out
the coffee houses, gas stations, and other structures that motorists
often pass, but seldom stop to consider more closely. For him, these
unassuming buildings resonate with meaning, becoming rich repositories
for personal and regional histories. Photographed in black-and-white,
his images invite viewers to contemplate not only the weathered beauty of
American indigenous architecture, but also its uncertain future as these
structures gradually disappear from the ever-changing cultural
landscape.
