Horacio Rodriguez: Radicalized Relics
Horacio Rodriguez: Radicalized Relics Presented by Utah Museum of Contemporary Art at Utah Museum of Contemporary Art Mar 17 - May 29, 2021 Radicalized Relics is a collaboration across centuries between Horacio Rodriguez and pre-Columbian Indigenous artisans from Mexico, whose artifacts form the basis of this exhibition. His practice also takes inspiration from the Mexican muralists of the 1920's, Chicano artists of the 1970s and 1980s, graffiti aesthetics, outsider art, and the neon-colored consumer-based symbols of his childhood. A love of archaeology led Rodriguez to the Utah Museum of Fine Arts' collection of pre-Columbian artifacts. There, he used advanced digital scanning, 3D printing, traditional plaster mold-making, and slip-casting ceramic techniques to incorporate historic artifacts into his practice. His creative process also involved multiple firings and image transfer techniques such as underglaze transfer, custom and commercial ceramic decals, vinyl resist and gold luster to build up multiple layers on the clay surfaces. For him, this hybrid mix of media and techniques approximates the unique, often contradictory, spirit of border aesthetic. The collective works in… |

Baggage: Alex Caldiero In Retrospect
Baggage: Alex Caldiero In Retrospect Presented by Utah Museum of Contemporary Art at Utah Museum of Contemporary Art Feb 24 - Jun 19, 2021 Referred to by the artist as a “grand examination of his consciousness,” this retrospective exhibition explores the 50-year career of polyartist, poet, wordshaker, scholar, sonosopher, performance artist Alex Caldiero. On display are Caldiero’s notebooks, drawings, monoprints, assemblage, sculptures, para-objects, performances, and distillations. Such an arrangement—organized without any sort of linear or chronological burden and set on custom-made shelves and pedestals that echo the studio from which they came—seeks to summarize an expansive career full of a labyrinth of ideas. Caldiero works with an array of materials, willing to let the idea determine the best method. From there, he is open to all policies, and possibilities, willing to flatten those alphabetic symbols into visual forms and abstract them, twist them, turn them upside down, to sample, overdub, and reveal them, destroy them, dematerialize them, and then make them whole. Ideas repeat, repeat, repeat over years, and in that repetition, evolve. For him,… |

Allison Schulnik: Mound
Allison Schulnik: Mound Presented by Utah Museum of Contemporary Art at Utah Museum of Contemporary Art Feb 24 - Jul 17, 2021 Allison Schulnik’s Mound is a series of paintings brought to life through simple materials and stop-motion animation techniques. Constantly in a state of flux, Schulnik’s crudely rendered figures writhe, morph, sway, and dance to the melancholy sounds of Scott Walker’s song, “It’s Raining Today,” (1969). Their flesh moves independently from their bodies, moved by an outside energy or spirit that co-inhabits them, made manifest through the colorful twisting shapes that appear and disappear from their skin. Mound separates itself from the highly rendered computer-animated films popular today by placing importance on the presence of the artist’s hand in the work. The figures show signs of being poked, prodded, and manipulated by their creator’s hands. That physical connection between creation and creator elicits both empathy for the characters performing on Schulnik’s stage and creates a sense of a surreal dreamscape, concocted in the mind. The resulting film is part comedy, part tragedy told through… |
