Showcasing an array of beautifully refined ceramics from the southwestern United States, A River Apart: The Pottery of Cochiti and Santo Domingo Pueblos is on view at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture through June 6, 2010. The two pueblos, which are located in the the Rio Grande Valley in New Mexico, shared a ceramic tradition for centuries until contact with outsiders set them on divergent artistic paths. Through a display of nearly 250 pieces from the museum’s collection, visitors are provided with a range of perspectives––art historical, anthropological, curatorial, and aesthetic––that serve to reveal the multiple meanings the pottery often holds.
