SUMMARY:NEW AMERICAN CITY: Artists Look Forward
DESCRIPTION:PUBLIC OPENING RECEPTION/ STUDENT WELCOME BACK PARTY:\nSept. 8th – 7-10 p.m.\nLocal Bands Playing on Plaza – 8-10 p.m. \nPUBLIC PROGRAMS:\nA number of public events including lectures\, book signing\, workshops and tours will take place throughout the run of the exhibition. Please see information below and sign-up for the ASU Art Museum e-nnouncement mailing list. \nEXHIBITION CATALOGUE:\nAvailable October 28th\, 2006 \n NEW AMERICAN CITY: ARTISTS LOOK FORWARD \nFew models exist for the future of metropolitan Phoenix. According to urban planners\, geographers\, community leaders\, economists and activists\, what distinguishes the Phoenix area from other cities is its youth\, astronomical growth\, geographic limitations\, desert environment and its active arts community. \nThe city has a growing cultural infrastructure with artists living and working throughout the city. The downtown art scene draws thousands of visitors each month in addition to weekly art walks at the Scottsdale galleries\, and contemporary art exhibitions open regularly at non-profit spaces across the Valley. Artists are playing an active role in envisioning the city’s future\, developing clusters of studios\, co-ops and galleries and revitalizing neighborhoods in the process. \nNew American City: Artists Look Forward explores the role of artists and the art being produced in this context. What is the role of art and visual culture in the city’s current development\, and in its future? Installed in four galleries\, the nymphaeum and throughout the museum space for a total of over 9\,500 square feet\, the exhibition features twenty-three artists who live and work in Maricopa County. Their work demonstrates a marked level of experimentation and investigation\, exploring media\, processes and styles to comment on the here and now. The artists re-imagine the possibilities of art as we re-imagine our city. \nARTISTS IN THE EXHIBITION: \n\n\n\n  \nSherry Ahrentzen\n\n  \nDaniel Britton\n\n  \nSue Chenoweth\n\n  \nDan Collins\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nFrank Ekeberg\n\n  \nErnesto Fonseca\n\n  \nLiza Hita\n\n  \nMayme Kratz\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nPaho Mann\n\n  \nCarrie Marill\n\n  \nMelissa McGurgan\n\n  \nSherrie Medina\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nMatthew Moore\n\n  \nMatthew Paweski\n\n  \nHelen Raleigh\n\n  \nChristina Ramirez\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nWellington Reiter\n\n  \nKade Twist\n\n  \nMaria Salenger\n\n  \nMatthew Salenger\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nBetsy Schneider\n\n  \nRandy Slack\n\n  \nManuel Zarate\n\n\n\n\n\nSCOPE OF THE PROJECT:\nOur goal is for New American City: Artists Look Forward to become a platform for conversations about the possibilities and opportunities for the integration of art in the development of Phoenix. After meeting with art\, design\, business and political leaders across the metropolitan area\, it has become clear that our programs need to focus on this issue. Our community discussions and formal partnerships with community organizations will guide the development of programs to benefit and engage a broad community. \nTHE ART AND ARTISTS SELECTION PROCESS:\nThe process of selecting the art involved multiple steps to facilitate an open\, respectful dialog that will continue beyond the exhibition. In addition to consulting with art and design professionals on recommendations\, an open call was made to locate unknown and under-represented artists who are living and working in Maricopa County. The curators reviewed over one hundred and fifty submissions\, selecting more than eighty artists for studio visits. The art in the exhibition matches the liveliness and complexity of the city. It ranges from painting and photography to installations of land art and art with new technologies. All of the work reflects upon the city\, whether personal impressions of living and working here\, or broader questions and aspirations for our future. \nEXHIBITION CATALOGUE:\nA 56-page\, color catalogue documenting the art in the exhibition and the conversations generated by its presentation with essays by the curators\, artist Kate Twist and geographer Patricia Gober. In order to photo document the installations in the exhibition\, the catalogue will first be available at a Book Launch Event on October 28.
