SUMMARY:ASU Art Museum’s Public Art
DESCRIPTION:Made possible with a gift from Robert and Avery Moric\, father and son ASU Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts alumni (Architecture Class of 1991 and Architecture and Barrett\, The Honors College Class of 2023) and the ASU President’s Club. \nCommissioned by Arizona State University Art Museum with funding by The Diane and Bruce Halle Foundation with additional funding by the Herberger Institute Dean’s Creativity Council. \n“Art has a much bigger role to play in society. Everyone needs access to art\, and at this time\, we need art even more.” -Leo Villareal \n“Point Cloud (ASU)” is a commissioned artwork by Leo Villareal designed specifically for the ASU Art Museum in the Nelson Fine Arts Center. During his visit to the ASU Art Museum\, Villareal was inspired by the museum’s architecture\, designed by Antoine Predock in 1987. “The building defines a journey\, a procession; it defines options and potentials rather than particular paths. It is an open matrix of possibilities rather than particular paths. It is an open matrix of possibilities for engagement both vertically and horizontally\,” Predock said on the experience of walking through the building. Inspired by this phenomenon\, Villareal worked with Kaarta\, the mobile 3D scan technology company\, to map both the inside and outside of the building\, creating over 200\,000\,000 data points. With the accumulated information\, the artist manipulated the data points by employing his custom software to create this public artwork\, seeking to deconstruct and reconstruct architectural rules and systems. “Point Cloud (ASU)” is the first instance Villareal has used actual data sampled from a location as part of an artwork. \nIn “Point Cloud (ASU)\,” Villareal focuses on the blurred boundaries between abstraction\, recognition\, and perception through monolithic screens mounted within the museum’s existing architecture. Through moving layers of light\, Villareal renders the museum’s mapped spaces to reveal details of architecture that are not recognizable to the naked eye. The ever-changing lumens\, slowly panning up and down stairs\, through hallways and colonnades\, echo a sort of procession throughout the museum. At times\, the dots\, lines\, and planes create a recognizable image\, but often\, viewers are taken on a journey that dissolves into abstraction. The ongoing movement prompts consideration for deeper understandings of the masses and forms around us\, questioning what we can see in front of us and what is ephemeral. “Point Cloud (ASU)” serves as a meditation on Predock’s work\, revealing the deep layers and references embedded in the architecture as it ascends toward the heavens and descends into the earth. \nExplore the ASU Art Museum’s public art with works by Leo Villareal\, Robert Arneson\, Luis Jimenez and Eduardo Sarabia.

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:Making Visible
DESCRIPTION:“Making Visible” features artworks from ASU Art Museum’s permanent collections and examines how these objects perpetuate and fortify mythologies of the American West. With over 90% of the Museum’s 13\,000+ objects entering the collection as gifts\, this exhibition questions how the perspective of donors reflects specific tastes and fantasies about the Southwest. Further\, it explores how museums create cultural narratives based on available objects without considering what is missing. Centering people and their stories\, the exhibition seeks to redress and restore the archival silences and gaps in the museum’s collections by interrogating how racism\, sexism\, settler colonialism and other exclusionary practices produced a collection that centers Eurocentricity. \n“Making Visible” is organized in collaboration with a community of advisors composed of activists\, scholars and artists that lend important and yet historically excluded cultural perspectives. The museum worked with NY-based artist Miguel Luciano to develop the exhibition design\, audience experience and public programs along with Amelia Hay\, learning and co-creation specialist. In addition\, they commissioned Jacob Meders\, local artist and member of the Mechoopda Indian Tribe of Chico Rancheria\, to write labels looking critically at several of the historical artworks in the exhibition. The curatorial team includes Julio César Morales\, senior curator; Mary-Beth Buesgen\, curator of collections and archives; Brittany Corrales\, curator; Ninabah Winton\, Windgate assistant curator of contemporary craft and design fellow and Abby Sutton\, Windgate curatorial assistant. \nClick here to learn more about the Black cowboys of Arizona and their impact on Arizona history through their military service as Buffalo Soldiers.  \n“Making Visible” is sponsored by the Terra Foundation for American Art with generous support from the ASU Art Museum Boards and Councils.

SUMMARY:A pattern\, a trace\, a portrait: Four Artists from CALA Alliance’s Residency Program
DESCRIPTION:“A pattern\, a trace\, a portrait: Four Artists from CALA Alliance’s Residency Program” showcases new and existing work by Carolina Aranibar-Fernández\, Diana Calderón\, Estrella Esquilín and Sam Frésquez. These regional Latinx artists each present discrete installations that weave together universal themes of memory\, loss and grief while highlighting issues related to place and the destruction of our natural environment. A pattern\, a trace\, a portrait highlights the dichotomy between the most intimate histories and the most global concerns. \nThis exhibition showcases\, in part\, a partnership between CALA Alliance and ASU Art Museum. CALA Alliance (Celebración Artística de las Américas) is a Latinx arts organization based in Phoenix. CALA Alliance collaborates with artists and arts organizations to nurture artistic talent\, focusing on artists from the Latin American diaspora. The organization advances its mission through innovative artist residencies\, artist commissions\, community workshops\, and public programming that position the Metro Phoenix region as a fruitful site that acknowledges and contributes to the promotion of Latinx art throughout the United States. \nCALA Alliance and ASU Art Museum work in partnership to achieve their common mission of incubating and accelerating the presence of Latinx art in the United States. Together CALA Alliance and ASUAM promote the exchange of new ideas\, perspectives\, and experiences among artists\, students\, and the public through various programs\, especially those that educate and inspire the public about the richness of the Latinx cultural heritage.

SUMMARY:Opportunity (reflection)
DESCRIPTION:World-renowned artist Hank Willis Thomas unveiled this monumental 10-foot tall stainless steel sculpture during Super Bowl LVII\, Arizona 2023 where it was installed in the iconic Super Bowl Experience at the Phoenix Convention Center and then in the Great Lawn outside the State Farm Stadium during Super Bowl LVII. Capturing the essence of Thomas’ artistic practice\, this latest sculpture draws from his 2015 sculpture “Opportunity\,” which was inspired by the NFL\, and as part of his interest in photographic history\, popular culture\, and sports as a metaphor for individual and collective struggle or hope. “Hank’s powerful sculpture showcased during Super Bowl week beautifully represents the passion\, strength\, and hope at the heart of our game\,” said Peter O’Reilly\, NFL Executive Vice President of Club Business & League Events. \nThe artwork falls within Thomas’ “Punctum” series\, which is based on Roland Barthes’ photographic theory of the punctum referring to the detail in an image that pierces or wounds the viewer\, creating a direct relationship between them and the pictured object or person. Thomas uses this concept to select or reframe areas of images\, which he then transforms into large-scale sculptures. “Opportunity (reflection)” portrays a snapshot of an anonymous player whose arm extends outward to catch the football. The viewer is reflected back in the mirrored surface and invited to imagine these tense few moments\, filled with great anticipation\, the successful catch leading to success and celebration\, as well as loss and defeat for the opposing team. \n  \n\n  \n
