The Spirit of Dance

Presented by Salt Lake City Public Library and Utah Arts Festival at Salt Lake City Public Library (Main Branch)

May 27 - Jul 20, 2018

I have always been intrigued with the idea of recording long periods of time within a still frame.  The idea that when my gaze moves over the image it is traveling through time as well as space.  Over the years I had photographed many subjects with this in mind.  However, everything clicked the first time I photographed dancers in this way.  The Spirit of Dance was born! I made the pictures for this project by combining long shutter speeds and movement.  The resulting photos show a dancer occupying several points in time.  The light traces their path in the air, and that is recorded in a single frame.  The results are striking-sometimes ethereal, light and airy.  Other times dark and moody. This exhibit is presented by the Salt Lake City Public Library, and is also part of the Utah Arts Festival 2018 catalog.

The question remains: What is your identity?

Wren Ross Exhibition at Finch Lane Gallery

Presented by Salt Lake City Arts Council at Finch Lane Gallery at the Art Barn

Jun 15 - Aug 03, 2018

“Traditionally, bone oracle casting utilizes sets of personal totems collected by the reader and strewn across a flat surface to be read and interpreted,” says Ross. “Often these sets of objects had standard inclusions among readers – coins, animal bones, smooth stones, shells, seeds. But more often each set of objects was assembled by the reader according to the chance encounters by which they were introduced.” Presently, humanity is redefining its relationship with the environment, with the non-human world, and with technology. In this exhibition, Ross presents a collection of visual totems to aid in this search.

Virginia Catherall Exhibition at Finch Lane Gallery

In 2016, she was selected as Artist-in-Residence for the Great Basin National Park and spent a month living there and gathering inspiration from the diverse landscape. She subsequently created knitted pieces which are featured in the exhibition Wearable Landscapes. “My finished pieces are not only artworks but are functional as wearable art,” states Catherall. “The act of creating something so entwined with the land itself sparks a stewardship and urge to conserve the land. I hope that others will be inspired to enjoy, conserve, and steward our unique landscape.” Catherall will also lead a free knitting workshop July 10 and August 7 from 6:00-8:00 p.m. to help knitters find inspiration in nature. Knitting skills and advanced registration are required. To register, please email kandace.steadman@slcgov.com.

Working Hard to be Useless

Presented by Utah Museum of Contemporary Art at Utah Museum of Contemporary Art

Jun 29 - Dec 29, 2018

Although there are positive aspects of the current push for urban development and densification of city centers, the questions of who benefits from that development and who does it negatively affect arises. Public spaces become less public with the inclusion of well-designed but also well hidden “defensive architecture,” dictating who can and cannot use the space. Walkability, which is defined by the final destination and not by the act of leisurely wandering the city, is touted as the ultimate goal, but walkability to where and why? To work, to shopping centers, or to public parks? Does use become prescribed in these new spaces? If so, how do we react to these restrictions? Working Hard to be Useless examines these issues through the lens of Situationist International ideas and aesthetics. The Situationists were a group of artists and theorists that operated in Europe during the 1960’s and 1970’s. Their work critiqued…

Alison Neville: M.A.D. (Mutually Assured Destruction)

Presented by Utah Museum of Contemporary Art at Utah Museum of Contemporary Art

Jun 29 - Oct 13, 2018

M.A.D. (Mutually Assured Destruction) consists of two parts: a mixed media sculpture series and a coloring book. Both explore how governments are perfecting a means to kill through nuclear testing programs and simultaneously inform their people through public education programs. The testing is done as a means of protecting the people but the end result is a mutated global foreign policy. The sculpture series serves to relate information about different test sites from the programs conducted by the United States, Russia, and North Korea. There is a map for each location and a mushroom for every above-ground, fallout-generating, nuclear weapon test in the history of each program, all built on Cold War-era desks. The coloring book contains imagery of the nuclear weapon detonations that have been colored in with the collaboration of children ages five to twelve. While many of them are fanciful interpretations now, their significance will emerge in…

Presented by Taylorsville Arts Council at SLCC Alder Amphitheater

Jul 16 - Jul 21, 2018

Annie Oakley is an incredible shot who was raised 'Doin' What Comes Naturally'. Frank Butler, the star sharpshooter in 'Colonel Buffalo Bill's show, however, knows full well that's not how 'The Girl That I Marry' must be. Anyway, not at least until he finds that 'My Defenses are Down'. Though Annie defiantly says 'Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better', she realizes that 'You Can't Get a Man With a Gun'. The victor at the end is love; as you know, 'It's Wonderful'. After all, 'There's No Business Like Show Business'.
