Hidden Voices: From the Outside
Woodbury Art Museum, Utah Valley University, Orem, UT
Jan 15 – Feb 23, 2019
group show curated by Chauncy Secrist and James Rees
Hidden Voices: From the Outside” explores themes of otherness, the feeling of being an outsider, socially constructed barriers that prevent us from embracing parts of our identity, and the personal narratives surrounding these ideas. Inspired by the story of Matthew Shepard, whose brutal death 20 years ago sparked a national conversation about LGBTQ rights, this exhibition attempts to both pay homage to Shepard, and to create empathy and connection through personal storytelling.
Appendages of Sense
Hosted by the stalwart of local SLC art FINCH LANE GALLERY
Aug 10 – Sept 21, 2018
Appendages of Sense captures moments of life in this exhibition of hand-manipulated photos. “Among the alienation of family gatherings, in the celebrations and icons of hosting, cameras held by attendees served as eyes and recording devices. Stages moments and improvised gestures. Items seen worthy of acceptance by connected posterity for them to contemplate and meditate on. For whom are the ghosts present?” A much appreciated REVIEW by Lewis Crawford for 15 Bytes is right here

Wrinkled sheets of memory. Light that once mingled on a form, a body, a vehicle, a dinner table. Analogue technology serving as a performer and medium for ghosts of experience past, altered states that are nostalgic yet foreign.
35mm film slides and 16mm film loops have been manipulated by hand leaving the original emulsion, the skin of image, folded, layered, torn, peeled away to reveal the bones of cinema. Sound comes directly from the flesh of the loops, speaking in rhythms and rustled distortions. Images will fall frail and break, passing to their next state, allowing works to evolve and degrade again. Artist INTERVIEW by Alex Vermillion HERE
