As NASA aims to return to the Moon, this exhibition surveys how artists today are investigating some of the most profound questions about the universe in the city where that journey began.

Blumenfeld’s work in the collection of the New Mexico Museum of Art will be exhibited in the museum’s landmark exhibition, Off-Center: New Mexico Art, 1970-2000, a survey of the last three decades of the twentieth century, a pivotal time in which numerous artists relocated to New Mexico, drawn by its distinctive climate and landscape, its rich diversity of cultures, and its strong reputation as a center for the visual arts. Scheduled from June 8, 2024, to May 4, 2025, at the New Mexico Museum of Art Vladem Contemporary, Off-Center explores the depth and complexity of this period through a series of relevant and topical themes. Blumenfeld’s work will be on display during the “Spectacle” rotation of works, which is installed from September 27, 2024 to May 4, 2025.

Blumenfeld exhibits her Tracing Luminaries portfolio in the exhibition “imaginary i” at the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art, which runs from November 11, 2023 – April 7, 2024 and is curated by Christina Brungardt. The exhibition compares how artists and mathematicians utilize constructs of the imaginary, or complex numbers, to envision the future and reclaim, retrace, and reveal past patterns.

Blumenfeld has a solo exhibition, titled “Erika Blumenfeld: Tracing Luminaries” at Inman Gallery in Houston, TX, which will be on view from March 9 to April 29, with an opening reception on March 10, from 6-8pm. The exhibition will feature Blumenfeld’s recent Tracing Luminaries print edition portfolio, created in close collaboration with Island Press. Blumenfeld and Island Press have additionally created a new single-print edition, which will be unveiled at the exhibition. Please contact Inman Gallery for all inquiries.

Time and Place: Water, Sky, Land, curated by Anne Wilkes Tucker, opens at Maier Museum of Art, Randolph College, Lynchburg, VA. Exhibiting alongside Mark Klett, James Balog and Terry Evans, Blumenfeld exhibits her Encyclopedia of Trajectories drawings.

Blumenfeld’s first public installation of Encyclopedia of Trajectories, comprised of 132 drawings of meteor events recorded by the NASA All Sky Fireball Network, opens at the BioScience Research Collaborative as part of the Rice Public Art program.
