UTAH MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART UP: Grandma's Cupboard. Between 1985 and 1995, Kate Ericson and Mel Ziegler produced some of the most profound conceptual art projects of the late 20th century. Ranging from socially engaged works and site-specific installations to drawings and mixed media sculptures, Ericson and Ziegler redefined public art in a way that was welcoming to a diverse set of communities through their use of serial form, wit, and poetic language. After the passing of Kate Ericson in 1995, Mel Ziegler has continued an artistic practice based on the central principles and strategies of their partnership; however, his technique has evolved in both form and concept, allowing for a distinct expression of humor, craft, and sensibility. Still working with local iconography, landscape, and culture, Ziegler's projects encourage alternative understandings of how Americana - as symbol, material, and motif - is represented and experienced throughout regions across the globe (see our review page 1). Through December 19. AND: Mall no. 2 is the second in a series of projects that explore experiences around emerging concepts in product, fashion, graphic, and retail design. Looking to innovative modes of consumerism in the digital age, this exhibit presents intriguing ideas and merchandise that reflect both the advantages and consequences resulting from a new paradigm of commerce. Through September 12. AND: Exploring themes of confinement, fragility, and pain, Amalia Ulman’s Stock Images of War blends divergent senses of pleasure and discomfort. Delicate wire sculptures augmented into familiar shapes—such as bicycles, wheelchairs, and tanks— eerily rest against a sensory backdrop of rock music and the scent of baked apple pie. Through October 31. AND: Lizze Määttälä’s Uphill/Both Ways is about fragments that have been left behind; memories that once sat heavily on her shoulders and shaken off somewhere in between here and the Mojave Desert (see our review page 4). Through November 7. AND: Aundrea Frahm's We Revolve Ceaseless is an immersive multimedia work that creates a transcendent, multisensory experience in which the viewer enters the space of a continual cycle and observes its imagery and kinetic movement. The moving image rotates and oscillates without end or beginning, endless revolving and mirroring our own human existence. Through October 3.

ART BARN/FINCH LANE GALLERY UP: Rebecca Reese Jacoby is inspired by the fire dances of the American Plains Indians who relied on ritual dance they believed would bring the fire back after the solstice and ensure posterity for future generations. As she created paintings of fire dances, she also began to explore the connection to her ancestors, whose very spiritual experiences have “danced” their way into her life. She calls her exhibition Fire Dances Ancestral (see our review page 6). Through September 25. AND: Richard Lance Russell asks viewers to take a fresh look at the people around them through his exhibition 100 Beautiful People. "The cashier at the grocery store has remarkable blue eyes. The child studying ants in the park tilts his head when he’s concentrating. The neighbor’s face is creased by an intricate pattern of wrinkles. Every face is unique,” say Russel (see our review page 6)l. Through September 25.

RIO GALLERY UP: DesignArts '15 celebrates the best of design in Utah. This annual exhibition featuring designs, prototypes, and produced samples by designers in Utah’s various design fields.

The ingenuity and creativity that come from a designer’s mind always impress, and this year’s selections are no exception.” Through October 23.

ALICE GALLERY UP: Reformation: A Rearranging of Elements, a solo exhibition by artist Rebecca Klundt. Klundt confronts the challenge of taking up what has been left behind and reforming it through a practice that includes mining, breaking down, and then building up. Everything we see and use in the world today is a product of the earth. Through mining and other technological advances, man’s ingenuity has allowed for the production of all our modern technology. Klundt is fascinated with this cycle and the evidence of the mining process left in "piles"-materials from Earth, transformed into usable form and then discarded to make room for the new. Through the process of “mining the piles”, her purpose is to create order from the chaos and appreciate the character of this material that has been created and then recreated. The result is a focus on line and subtle color shifts. September 18 through November 13.
