May 24 - Jul 05, 2023

Buttons by Chalese Buttars • Exhibit runs from May 24 to July 5, 2023. ARTIST STATEMENT: In 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic, I found myself having extra time on my hands so I bought a button maker. I never could have dreamed my random purchase would turn into an obsession with plants, flowers and the beauty of nature. I quickly started spending all my free time collecting plants and creating little designs and wearable works of art. My medium, leaves and flowers, is often disregarded and left to rot. Through my art I hope to instill an appreciation for the beauty that surrounds us in simple things. ARTIST BIO: Chalese Buttars is a Utah native and had the pleasure of growing up in a small farming community. She graduated with her doctorate degree in audiology in 2015 from Utah State University and spent the first few years of her…

Haimaz, Heimr, Hjem, Heem, Hām, Home

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

Apr 10 - Jul 15, 2023

Haimaz, Heimr, Hjem, Heem, Hām, Home seeks to explore the notion of homes that are real, constructed, remembered, displaced, damaged, and imagined through the lens of the Old English word hām, which refers to a place where many souls are gathered. In a time of cultural, political, economic, environmental, and psychological ‘home’ instability for many, and as people emerge from homes where they were isolated post-pandemic, this topic feels particularly timely. Home can be both a social and cultural construct that is influenced by family, community, geography, economics, politics, and personal experiences. For some, it is a physical space of comfort, refuge, and safety. Home can also be a feeling, a sense of belonging and connection within a community, or it can be a site of danger, longing, loneliness, confinement, trauma, or displacement. The artists in this exhibition challenge traditional and fixed notions of home by addressing issues of housing affordability, gentrification, urbanization, migration,…

Gordon Matta-Clark: Splitting, 1974

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

Apr 10 - Jul 15, 2023

In Matta-Clark’s Splitting, the artist carefully slices, nearly in half, a suburban home, in Englewood, New Jersey. Part sculpture, part-video, part-architecture, the ambitious project is typical of Matta-Clark’s body of work that uses abandoned buildings as sites for intervention, offering a critique of urban renewal, creating sculptures and altered buildings as symbols of, what art historian Tom Folland calls, “a city on the verge of collapse.” Splitting is beautiful in its ruin-ness, in its destruction. Like a picturesque landscape painting dotted with ruins of a past civilization, the work weepingly echoes a hauntingly broken nostalgia.

Jun 10 - Jul 20, 2023

Artwork by Jeanne Hansen - Exhibit runs from June 10 to July 20, 2023. ARTIST STATEMENT:  Nature inspires me and helps me to get into the zone to paint. It is a great source of strengthen to me in my life. From our Wasatch Front mountains to our beloved Great Salt Lake sunsets, beauty surrounds us. I enjoy skiing, hiking our foothills and gardening. During my ten years of directing art lessons at the Indian Hills Elementary School with Kelly Hansen, we loved teaching the students about Vincent Van Gogh’s florals. We are fortunate to live near the foothills in the fly zone of many migratory birds. It is a delight to feed the wild birds with birdseed and watch them take turns eating from the bird feeder. Seeing their colorful feathers is a visual reward for me. This record breaking snow of this year brought down the elk and…
