New public art piece promotes harmony at UNM-Gallup
The University of New Mexico-Gallup installed a new statue on campus July 17 as part of the New Mexico Arts program Art in Public Places.
“White Deer of Autumn,” by Denny Haskew, is a 6-foot-tall bronze sculpture of a cloaked female figure, which is finished with a patina that the artist developed to make it look like it was carved from stone. The sculpture stands in a raised landscape bed in the outdoor courtyard between Gurley Hall and Calvin Hall Center.
“I hope students, educators, and campus visitors will see this sculpture as a symbol of harmony and bring this back into their workspace, classrooms, and lives,” UNM-Gallup art instructor Kristi Wilson said.

‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’ delivers supernatural shenanigans in spades
Rating: 3 out of 4
Running Time: 105 minutes
This film from Warner Bros. opens exclusively at theaters and in IMAX on Friday, Sept. 6. It has been some time since Tim Burton’s original Beetlejuice premiered. I was young when the 1988 feature arrived in theaters, and while I appreciated the title character and the movie’s sense of style, it didn’t make as lasting an impression as the director’s other titles. So, there was a bit of trepidation watching a sequel to something that didn’t speak to me strongly the first time out. Perhaps it’s because I can now better appreciate its unique dark humor, but Beetlejuice Beetlejuice turned out to be a surprisingly fun trip.
