May 11-July 15, opening reception Thursday, June 28, 6-8pm, Aspen Art Museum, 590 North Mill Street, Aspen
The Residue of Memory examines the diverse ways that events can leave their mark, and how objects and experiences can function as physical traces or intangible points of contact to the past. Artists in the exhibition include Kristoffer Akselbo, John Baldessari, Andrea Bowers, Phil Collins, Bruce Conner, Roberto Cuoghi, Simon Evans, Lara Favaretto, Paul Graham, Karl Haendel, Susan Hiller, Pierre Huyghe, Friedrich Kunath, Glenn Ligon, Teresa Margolles, Richard Misrach, Richard Prince, Paul Ramirez Jonas, Doris Salcedo, Kaari Upson, Anna Von Mertens and Jeff Wall.
Employing a hybrid methodology located somewhere between research project, retail display, and promotional campaign, Simon Denny's diverse artistic practice reflects on the production, distribution, and consumption of media in an age of accelerated technological obsolescence and relentless cultural overproduction. Through a variety of media, including photographs, sculpture, video, and printed ephemera, Denny invites us to reflect on the relationship between form and content in relation to the evolution of television and video as both technology and cultural form.

Cocktails and Casserole: Entertaining in the 20th Century, Lakewood's Heritage Center, February 17-September 7. Colorado pastel artists return to their favorite places.

Pastels are a unique painting medium in that the colors are mixed on the paper by overlaying or blending, rather than on a palette. This makes pastels a perfect medium to capture a unique vista.
Spirit of Lakewood, Lakewood's Heritage Center Visitor Center Gallery, ongoing. Explore the history of home entertaining from tea in the parlor to a poker party in the “man cave.” Learn what party treats were prepared for a 1950s Avon party and the correct way to make a martini for a soiree in the 1960s.
