Truckee Meadows Community College (TMCC) is pleased to present Amadour: Nevada Proscenium, a solo art show by Amadour. The exhibition is open for public viewing from May 18–June 18, 2026 in the Main Gallery located in the V. James Eardley Student Services Center in the Red Mountain Building at TMCC’s Dandini Campus. A public reception will be held on June 10 from 5–7 p.m. with an artist’s talk at 5:30 p.m. This exhibition marks Amadour’s first solo institutional exhibition in Nevada and a return to TMCC, where the artist previously studied.
Nevada Proscenium positions Nevada not as a passive backdrop, but as an active stage shaped by labor, memory, and systems of visibility. Through geometric abstraction, Amadour constructs architectural spaces that reference the state’s mining history, where modular forms echo the timbered frameworks that once organized underground labor while leaving its workers unseen.
Rejecting the myth of the West as an empty frontier, the exhibition foregrounds Nevada as a site of layered ecological, cultural, and political histories. Central to this inquiry is the enduring impact of extraction, both on the land and on the communities that have sustained it. Latinx presence, often excluded from dominant narratives, is embedded throughout the work as an essential and ongoing force in shaping the region.
Material and form operate together as carriers of meaning. Repetitive structures and shifting surfaces suggest both stability and erosion, while open spatial fields invite viewers into a space of reflection. The landscape here is not fixed or neutral; it is constructed, contested, and continuously redefined.
Rooted in Northern Nevada and shaped by personal and collective histories, Nevada Proscenium considers how place is experienced, remembered, and made visible. In doing so, the exhibition asks viewers to reconsider what they see when they look at the West and what remains just out of view.
The Main Gallery is located at 7000 Dandini Boulevard in the Red Mountain Building, Reno, NV, and is open during regular business hours. For more information about the exhibition, please visit the TMCC Art Galleries website.
