Madeline Denaro’s Dynamic Seens at Julie Nester

By Geoff Wichert on March 3, 2021 • ( Leave a comment )

In the upper right-hand corner of a canvas seven feet high and a little over five feet wide, rectangles of gold and orange overlap a mottled patch of sky blue. In front, or so it appears, a series of black loops suggest spirals rising, while a similar figure […]

RDT’s Annual Fundraiser Goes virtual

By Edromar Undag on March 2, 2021 • ( Leave a comment )

Regalia is Repertory Dance Theater’s annual choreographic competition and fundraiser. Choreographers have a few hours in one day to create an entirely new work with company members and some local guest performers. The new works are then performed for an audience who ordinarily would place “bids” to choose […]

Paisely Rekdal’s First Collection of Essays a First Step in a Search for Place

By Geoff Wichert on February 28, 2021 • ( Leave a comment )

There’s a small problem with Utah Poet Laureate Paisley Rekdal’s first book, and while it doesn’t adversely affect her sophisticated and engaging essays, it could discourage potential readers, which is clearly the opposite of what the publishers intended when they packaged the collection 20 years ago. First, the […]

Ballet West’s Winter Streaming Series a Welcome Treat

By Emily Snow on February 26, 2021 • ( Leave a comment )

On Thursday night, around 9 pm, I sat down to watch Ballet West’s latest in their Winter Streaming series — Balanchine’s Rubies. At just over 20 minutes in length, an excavated chunk like this is exactly how much televised ballet I want to watch after staring at my […]

“Without the public, these works are nothing. I need the public to complete the work.” – Felix Gonzales-Torres “The true artist helps the world by revealing mystic truths.” – Bruce Nauman I was born in Cuautla, Morelos, a small town south of México City, about an hour drive […]

Joseph Toney and the Fine Lines of Eusubio Sempere

By Who Do You Love on February 18, 2021 • ( Leave a comment )

Joseph Toney looks to a variety of sources for influence. He aspires to be like Albrecht Dürer, the German Renaissance artist who was an early typeface designer, mathematician, painter, illustrator and printmaker, by mastering several mediums. He looks to 20th-century art movements like Cubism, Futurism and Op Art […]

Colour Maisch Loves the Way Martin Puryear’s Reduction Leads to Expansion

By Who Do You Love on February 16, 2021 • ( Leave a comment )

Colour Maisch says she loves artists “who are able to distill an idea down to a primary form or space and allow some breathing room.” It’s the kind of art that provides a break “from a constant barrage of meaningless chatter.” Martin Puryear is just such an artist. […]

Ririe-Woodbury’s “Home Run”

By Ashley Anderson on February 15, 2021 • ( Leave a comment )

The things I miss most about the theater are the requirements. I have enormous respect for the fourth wall, not just because I routinely decline participation opportunities, but because it is a mandate to observe and a notice of import. In this new world, there is the fifth […]

Nancy Andruk Olson’s John McAllister Crush

“I have a major art crush on John McAllister,” says Nancy Andruk Olson. She found him on Instagram, which she began using a few years ago when she was getting back into painting after a motherhood-inspired hiatus. “Like all major crushes, I use the internet to stalk him […]

Bernard Meyers and a Room of Rothkos

By Who Do You Love on February 10, 2021 • ( Leave a comment )

Bernard Meyers’ graduate thesis explored the roots of creative expression and paths to moments of inspiration, so you’d think he’d be fairly verbose about the artists that have inspired him. But some points of inspiration are so powerful it’s enough to simply point and says: “There.” Meyer took […]

Take a Closer Look, at Emilia Wing and Gustav Klimt

By Who Do You Love on February 9, 2021 • ( Leave a comment )

Emilia Wing says she has been drawn to the work of Gustav Klimt, ever since she discovered the artist as a child. “I didn’t know what it was about his work, but I remember not being able to take my eyes off of his paintings,” she says. “Something […]

THE LEONARDO AND KEN SANDERS COLLABORATE

(Salt Lake City) Ken Sanders Rare Books will be opening a boutique location at The Leonardo with a range of books related to the art, science and technology museum’s collections, exhibits and programs.

In addition to the boutique location, Ken Sanders Rare Books and The Leonardo are partnering on a monthly bookclub for Leonardo members which will focus on authors covering topics and stories related to The Leonardo’s mission of inspiring creativity and innovation. The first bookclub book title will be announced on a Facebook Live on the Leonardo’s page on Wednesday February 17th at 3pm.

Leonardo Executive Director Alexandra Hesse says of the partnership, “Ken Sanders has a legacy in the Utah community of cultivating deep thinking and generating enthusiasm around ideas. His passion for literature and writing is contagious and we hope this boutique presence will give our visitors a chance to connect with his love of learning and the incredible stories and knowledge to be found in his books. Not only are we honored to have Ken’s store as a physical presence at The Leonardo, we are so excited to be jointly programming community events, because now more than ever, we believe in the importance of the exchange of ideas, community dialogue, and curiosity about each other’s stories.”

Ken Sanders explained why The Leonardo is the perfect location for the Ken Sanders Rare Books boutique, “As the bulldozers are getting closer and closer to our home of the past twenty five years, we are excited to open a Ken Sanders Rare Books boutique at The Leonardo. Especially with the joint book club program, we hope to reach a lot of people and engage them in deep discussions about books and big ideas. Come visit us at Ken Sanders Rare Books and at our new boutique location at The Leo”.

The Ruby Chacón Social Justice Arts Award is given annually to individuals who are advancing justice and equity in our communities through the arts. Our 2020 award goes to the SLC Mural Makers, the anonymous artist collective whose portraits of individuals killed by police can be found on the corner of 800 S and 300 W in Salt Lake City. They, in turn, used the prize money to support the work of local mother and organizer Rae Duckworth, surviving family member of one of those honored in the murals.
