SUMMARY:Embrace 
by ARENA
DESCRIPTION:“The desert is defined by the blazing sun and the need to find shelter from it. The arts center (ASU Art Museum) acknowledges this duality by linking earth and sky. The main entrance descends into the earth in search of coolness and psychological distance from the fierce sun above.” –Antoine Predock\, ASU Art Museum Building architect\, 1989 \nIn today’s day and age\, art museum lobbies tend to look the same\, promoting a kind of high-class taste. They often rely on designs that use modern furniture; cold\, hard floors; classical music; and other signals (like Italian coffees in their cafes and expensive gift items in their shops) that are familiar to some populations and alienating to others. As a museum that strives to be inclusive and to acknowledge people from all walks of life\, ASU Art Museum commissioned ARENA (the artist duo Mario Gallego and Jorge Ignacio Torres) to reimagine the visitor experience. This artistic intervention\, titled “Embrace\,” focuses on themes of welcome\, placemaking and placekeeping\, and the activation of the five senses. ARENA (the Spanish word that translates to sand) was directly influenced by the landscape of the Sonoran desert and the building architect’s use of space and light. \nAbout the artists: \nJorge Ignacio Torres works at the intersection of art\, design and culture. His interdisciplinary practice focuses on how our experiences\, both everyday and ritualized\, can speak to contemporary society and how it is perceived. He is the founder of Palabra in Phoenix\, a space that houses and cultivates art\, music and culinary arts.  \nMario Gallego is a creative brand strategist with an emphasis on design and art. He bridges various cultures through curated experiences as a multifaceted creative strategist\, and he authentically connects community to art and design.

SUMMARY:A Country is Not a House: Ronald Rael + Virginia San Fratello
DESCRIPTION:Fusing design with activism\, Ronald Rael and Virginia San Fratello have spent more than a decade questioning the implications and contradictions of the border wall that divides the United States from Mexico. Structurally and conceptually\, the artists undermine and dismantle the wall itself — a symbol of xenophobia and fear — through speculative explorations that promote social\, economic and ecological reparations. Their inventive and poignant commentary is a protest against the wall\, our most politically polarizing architectural feature\, and a projection about its future. Offering new imaginaries\, the exhibition features drawings\, prints\, models\, videos and newly commissioned sculptural installations inspired by our region that serve as a reminder of how human beings can transcend the forces that seek to divide us. \n“A Country is Not a House: Ronald Rael + Virginia San Fratello\,” curated by ASU Art Museum curator Brittany Corrales\, is supported by the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in the Fine Arts with major support from Falcon Designs. Sponsors include Elizabeth and Shane Ginsberg. \nAbout the artists:  \nProfessor Ronald Rael is the Eva Li Memorial Chair in Architecture in the Department of Architecture in the College of Environmental Design at the University of California\, Berkeley. \nVirginia San Fratello is professor and chair of the Department of Design at San José State University. \nLearn more about Rael San Fratello’s work at rael-sanfratello.com.
