9/23 City Weekly: SLEEPING GIANT at Salt Lake Acting Company. “Everything symbolizes something,” one character says to another during a secne in Steve Yockey’s Sleeping Giant—and it’s hard not to view that as both a thesis statement, and a bit of a challenge. Throughout the tight 80-minute running time of Yockey’s new play, individual scenes build on one another while initially seeming disconnected, with a mysterious phenomenon providing the bridge between them. Each one of those scenes builds on an approach to religion and groupthink that might be playfully sacrilegious, and deliberately elusive about our need to find meaning in a world that changes faster than we can keep up…”

Wendy Wischer, associate professor of sculpture intermedia at the University of Utah, has been awarded the University’s L. Jackson Newell Fellowship in the Liberal Arts and Sciences. “My artwork has always been inspired by the natural environment and with our increasing global climate crisis, I am compelled to focus on environmental issues; finding pathways, and creating experiences, that translate data into personal meaning and create artwork that moves the viewer poetically,” the artist says. “Through my creative explorations, often in collaboration with scientists, engineers and community collaborators, a wide range of data types are investigated to link nature with technology, science with mythology and personal identity with universal connections, while addressing our current climate crisis in hopes of finding impactful ways to connect people more deeply with the environments they live in and with each other.”
Learn more at Wischer’s public lecture “Intersections of Art and Science”, on Tuesday, October 4, at 6pm in Gardner Commons Room 1900 – Siciliano Auditorium, University of Utah.
