SUMMARY:To Sink the Shallow and Raise the Deep
DESCRIPTION:“To Sink the Shallow and Raise the Deep” presents a focused consideration of Leslie Martinez’s practice over the past several years. The exhibition is timed with their selection as the 2026 keynote speaker for the Visionary Lecture Series. Bringing together early large-scale works with recent experiments in size and scale\, the presentation traces Martinez’s evolving approach to painting as a process of accumulation\, transformation and return. \nMartinez’s material language is shaped by what is available\, what remains and what can be carried forward. Studio rags\, jersey\, terry cloth\, acrylic wastewater\, pigment sediment and other remnants are cut\, sewn\, stained\, embedded and reworked\, sometimes over many years. Through this ongoing processing\, the mundane is granted weight and memory. Materials hold traces of Martinez’s time in Connecticut while at Yale\, as well as New York\, Arizona\, Texas and the spaces between. Driving across Southwestern landscapes becomes a form of looking and knowing\, a prolonged encounter with shifting terrain\, architecture\, economy\, surveillance and belonging. \nMartinez’s practice is grounded in rasquachismo\, a term coined by scholar Tomás Ybarra-Fausto to describe a Chicanx “underdog perspective rooted in resourcefulness and adaptability yet mindful of stance and style.” Martinez’s no-waste ethic enables them to wield a vernacular of painting that engages the formal legacies of abstraction while honoring generational practices of survival and sustenance learned from their family. In these works\, materials are active carriers of use\, memory and place. They settle\, separate\, stain and absorb\, holding the shallow and the deep in restless relation. \n\n“To Sink the Shallow and Raise the Deep” is organized by ASU Art Museum Senior Curator Alana Hernandez with ASU Art Museum Latinx Curatorial Fellow Natalie Solis.

SUMMARY:The Collection at 75: Selected Acquisitions from 1950–2025
DESCRIPTION:Presented in recognition of the ASU Art Museum’s 75th anniversary\, “The Collection at 75: Selected Acquisitions from 1950–2025” traces the evolution of the collection through works acquired across time. The exhibition highlights longstanding strengths in craft\, prints\, Latinx and Latin American art and socially engaged practices\, while examining how shifting cultural contexts\, artistic approaches and institutional priorities have guided collecting decisions over time. Organized according to when artworks were acquired rather than when they were created\, the exhibition invites visitors to consider the relationships and values that have shaped the institution across generations and continue to advance its commitment to centering artists in the service of community well-being and social good. \n“The Collection at 75: Selected Acquisitions from 1950–2025” is organized by ASU Art Museum Latinx Curatorial Fellow Natalie Solis\, with ASU Art Museum Curator Brittany Corrales and ASU Art Museum Windgate Curatorial Fellow Sade Moore. It is made possible with funding provided by the Evelyn Smith Exhibition Fund.
