SANPETE COUNTY
Granary Art Center UP: Artnauts: Diaspora and Movement features works by Sandy Brunvand, Beth Krensky and V. Kim Martinez, three Utah members of the international artist collective, Artnauts. The collective uses the arts as a tool for addressing global issues while connecting artists from around the world. February 10 - May 13. AND: 7 Steps Forward, 7 Steps Back. V. Kim Martinez physically traversed routes used by Mexican/Native American migrants for thousands of years along the now United States and Mexico border to inform her work. 7 Steps Forward 7 Steps Back is the result of her physically and emotionally strenuous journey that ties together her familial history with a larger narrative of migration and borders. February 10 - May 13. AND: Positive Space of Silence, a body of work by Sandy Brunvand that focuses on marks and the potential they hold to both encode and decode information.  In this case the marks inherent in the player piano scrolls used as a substrate are negative marks. The negative space holes and trails in the paper hold the information about the music encoded on the scroll. They are, in a sense, the meaning of the scroll. In addition, the paper of the scrolls is visually stunning by itself. February 10 - May 13. AND: Portable Sanctuaries features performance pieces by Beth Krensky that are part of a larger series of portable sanctuaries that are intended to respond to the natural or built environment while providing a refuge—a space within a space. February 10 - May 13.
