A common thread is elusive in Chandler quilt show

OK, I got the wordplay out of the way in the blog title. But seriously, “Art Quilts Year XVII: Integrating a Paradox,” a juried show of more than 60 textile art pieces, invites some rather deep contemplation. As the Chandler Center for the Arts explains, a paradox consists of two concepts, both true yet in … Continue reading A common thread is elusive in Chandler quilt show

"Almost a native" goes the saying if you have lived in Phoenix for a good chunk of your life. That's me -- a desert rat -- and my experiences as a writer and editor have led me to believe that our local art scene is highly underrated. This website might not remedy that, but it will introduce readers to museums and galleries and art in public spaces -- all around our beautiful desert Valley.

So fitting to see the work of @annielopezartist in the comprehensive exhibition “Traitor, Survivor, Icon: The Legacy of La Malinche” @denverartmuseum - a persuasive case thru historical and contemporary art to rise above all the long-held misogynistic and racist views of a famous woman in Mexican history. Annie receives a shout-out in an LA Times review of the show, which runs thru May 8. #annielopez #arizonaartists #lamalinche #traitorsurvivoricon #denverartmuseum
Although it was a very quick @scottsdale_artwalk on Main Street, I saw several wonderful pieces, including: “The Unbearable Lightness of Guide Dogs” by Kris Manzanares @roysecontemporary , “SB0318” by Kaori Takamura and “Searching for Connections 1” by Diane Silver, both @gebert_contemporary , “Traveling Whispers” by Jon Wassom @marshallgallery and a fun piece of sidewalk art. #scottsdaleart #krismanzanares #kaoritakamura #dianesilverstudio #jonwassomart #arizonaartists #minidesertvacay
I run into @angelaellsworth_studio in the most unexpected places! Here’s “Seer Bonnet XVIII (Ruth),” 2011, at the Palm Springs Art Museum—which is a compact but excellent space. Keeping Angela company in the Modern and Contemporary Art wing is a Maya Lin floor installation and on a nearby wall, a Mark Bradford. #angelaellsworth #arizonaartists #seerbonnets #palmspringsartmuseum #desertvacay
Same spot, almost exactly three years later. Still in Colorado! #differentsunglasses
It’s gonna take a lot of work to unify our country. Learn about one Arizona artist’s efforts to foster civility, compassion and courage through a massive participatory textile art project. See the article on my website Explore Art: Denver. #thevioletprotest #annmorton #textileart #publicengagementart #socialpracticeart #peacefulprotest
Amid all the math-based hard-edge geometric abstractions in “Clark Richert in hyperspace” @mca_denver it was a treat to come across this work by Karen McClanahan from Clarkdale AZ in the complementary show “The Nth Dimension.” McClanahan veers from straight lines to suggest landscapes, and this double canvas “Mug Shot (blue #001) brought me right back to Arizona. #karenmcclanahan #clarkrichert #geometricabstraction #mcadenver #arizonalandscapes
