DOUGLAS DREISHPOON ORAL HISTORY PROJECT: REMARKABLE WOMEN OF TAOS
Taos, N.M. — The Harwood Museum in collaboration with the Mandelman-Ribak Foundation and Douglas Dreishpoon, presents a film “Mandelman-Ribak Foundation’s Oral History Project” Friday, August 24, 7 p.m. in the Arthur Bell Auditorium. The film, edited by Oliver Bell, focuses on many of the remarkable women interviewed as part of the “Mandelman-Ribak Foundation’s Oral History Project” from 2000 to 2005.
The “Mandelman-Ribak Foundation’s Oral History Project”
originated in 1999 in collaboration with Douglas Dreishpoon, Chief Curator at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, NY. The initial concept was to videotape interviews with artists and individuals who
had been associated with the Taos Moderns, a group of artists living in Taos during the 1940s and 50s.
As the Project evolved, the objective broadened to encompass the subsequent generations of artists and individuals who had contributed to the culture and arts in Taos. There are 43 videotaped interviews, each developing around a set of questions researched and conducted by Douglas Dreishpoon. The interview materials of the Oral History Project constitute the elements of an oral history archive for Taos and an invaluable resource for researchers and scholars.
