<\/a>Cara Despain’s Timbre at Stolen and Escaped Gallery<\/p><\/div>\n
At Stolen and Escaped Gallery <\/a>there’s Cara Despain’s Timbre, which for opening night only will have a soundscape as part of the installation. You can read Daisy Blake’s writeup on the show in Now Salt Lake<\/a>.<\/p>\n And at Finch Lane Gallery, SURROUNDED, the installation by Suzanne Simpson and Jim Frazer, enters Phase 2. In Phase 1 of the exhibit Finch Lane’s back gallery was filled with a stunning habitat of ten-foot tall images hanging over aluminum flooring that mapped EPA-recognized Superfund sites in the Salt Lake Valley with 154 lights; a fabricated table listing toxic chemicals, health risks and side effects associated with the toxins. In Phase 2<\/em> an installation of etched bronze panels, oversized cases, and vessels of greenery transform the toxic landscape into “a natural setting of decentralization, healthy lifestyles and self-empowerment of a society that has corrected the ills of the past and present with a commitment to a lifestyle that honors mankind and the natural environment.”\u00a0 Butoh dancer Jeremy Koyea Yamashiro of the Ravie Za Dance Company, who performed on the gallery balcony during the Phase 1 opening receptions, returns for the Phase 2 opening of to initiate metamorphosis and celebration for the new era of hope.<\/p>\n And tonight, in honor of our ten year anniversary it’s officially 15 Bytes Gallery Stroll.<\/strong><\/p>\n To celebrate the anniversary we invite you to hit the galleries clad in our mojo-inducing 15 Bytes Tee Shirts.<\/p>\n To thank you for your support and for helping us spread the word about Utah’s Art Magazine we’ll be handing out prizes, while supplies last, to those we see wearing the tee shirts at Gallery Stroll.<\/p>\n You’ll also see us outside some of the galleries, handing out postcards and trying to spread the word about what’s happening in Utah’s visual arts community.
