FINDING AMELIA
Range West Gallery 2861 NM-14, Madrid (505) 474-0925 Who is Amelia? Well, we’re not entirely sure. Artist Carla Caletti suggests we’re all Amelia, and we’re all trying to find her. Her abstracted figures and deconstructed forms are inspired by a practice of repair, gathering disparate parts and fragments and creating new forms. Caletti's sculptures have a totemic quality and lead us to wonder about their origins. It’s asking bigger questions about life, whether we are just Amelias or if something bigger is at play. 11 am-5 pm, free
