SANPETE COUNTY
CUAC UP: superHUMAN features artists who pull freely from speculative models, (from classic Greek myths to comic books and graphic novels, from sci-fi literature to television) working in various mediums to help shape modern hybrid styles and bring new audiences into the conversation, challenging the assumptions that have sometimes kept speculative art outside serious discussion. By incorporating the mythical and fantastic, these artists compel audiences to look beyond our contemporary notions regarding race, gender, sexuality, cultural rituals, and even art itself. They resist easy categories, thwart the boundaries between high and low, and present a new vision of a shared superhuman experience. Works by Blanka Amezkua, Edgar Arcenaux, Kevin Darmanie, Kurt Forman, Chitra Ganesh, Fay Ku, Shaun El C. Leonardo, Kerry James Marshall, Wanda Ortiz, Dulce Pinzón, William Pope.L,|4| Robert Pruitt, Xaviera Simmons, Saya Woolfalk. Opening reception June 8, 7-10 pm. Through August 3. AND: The artists in New Mystics reinvent the role of mystic for themselves, calling attention to the ambiguities of both creativity and mysticism while also invoking the shaman’s important role as the community’s first artist. They direct us toward our own human frailties and vulnerabilities, their work suggesting that these supposed imperfections may, in fact, be genuine strengths—and for the artist especially, the very source of his or her greatest creativity. Featuring work by Fidalis Buehler, Tyrone Davies, Allan Ludwig, Fionn McCabe and Art Morrill. Opening reception June 8, 7-10 pm. Through August 3.
