University of Arizona School of Art is at Joseph Gross Gallery.

2 days ago

Big things are happening at the Joseph Gross Gallery! Here is a sneak peek of the upcoming exhibition "were-:Nenetech Forms" by visiting artists Timo Fahler and rafa esparza.
The artists are continuing to be in dialogue with the students from the University of Arizona, who will collectively intervene in the architecture of the Joseph Gross Gallery by building adobe “support structures.” The Gallery will become a laboratory for discussion and experimentation, with students conceiving of their own artistic contributions to the installation here and supporting the parallel project that is currently on display at MOCA. ...

Yesterday was National Fossil Day! We celebrated with School of Art Professor and Ceramicist, Aurore Chabot! Aurore utilizes “memory fossils” in her work inspired by numerous archeological sites she has visited in her life.
“I am guided by the seemingly discordant sensibilities of geometric and organic systems to create hybrid forms with negative spaces that pass through and into the sculptures. The pieces are simple yet contain compositional elements in complex arrangements, including layers of tile and fossil-like fragments, carved and distressed surfaces, bright colors against raw blackish metallic stains and the residue of personal dream symbols. Across my life as an artist, I have striven to bring dynamic energy to my art in which layers of memory fossils embedded in biomorphic and architectonic compositions serve as metaphor for the remains of a lifetime of experiences within the consciousness of mind.”
The first image is a sculpture titled, “Just a Snip,” the second image is a detail from a series of tile murals, “Cellular Synchronicity,” from the Marley Building on campus; both are just a couple examples of Aurore’s fine work. ... See MoreSee Less

RSVP and tune in this Friday (10/15) at 4PM to watch School of Art Instructor, David Taylor moderate The Fowler Museum at UCLA Share the Mic: “Frontearte” online event!
The Fowler is proud to present a special program celebrating artists whose transcendent projects at the U.S.-Mexico border reflect the dynamic, complex, and interdependent relationship between the U.S. and Mexico; and embrace the possibilities of what that relationship can become. David, along with other talented artists, invite us to think critically and consider the indigenous framing of issues surrounding border discourses, the impact and consequences of the militarization of ancestral homelands, and the power of art to facilitate continued dialogues about deeply problematic colonial frameworks that reinforce hegemonic power.
The program is FREE with RSVP! Register at tinyurl.com/frontearte or visit the link in the @fowlermuseum bio! ... See MoreSee Less

After many achievements listed in this article azart.fyi/lu8 , Saavedra continues to produce art to spread awareness on gender-based violence in Mexico and the United States.
.
Her recent works focus on femicides in Mexico. “Sexism happens everywhere and it has devastating consequences for women and girls that we need to address” -Saavedra

As of 2016, the National Crime Information Center has reported a total of 5,712 Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls in our Nation. According to Arizona Public Media, only 116 of those cases were found in the US Department of Justice’s database, so it’s hard to imagine how different these statistics might look with the proper data collection and reporting that it is currently not receiving.
School of Art student and member of The Pascua Yaqui Nation, Augustine F. Lopez Jr., hopes to bring awareness to this silent epidemic through his work, and help the families affected.
In his latest work, “The Silent Red Dress Project,” Augustine photographs a red dress in different environments— the dress is either displayed on a hanger, or worn by a woman, but the intention is the same.
If you would like to help Augustine share his message through his art and donate to the cause, you can follow him @augustinesayana and donate to the GoFundMe in his bio.
We respectfully acknowledge the University of Arizona is on the land and territories of Indigenous peoples. Today, Arizona is home to 22 federally recognized tribes, with Tucson being home to the O’odham and the Yaqui. Committed to diversity and inclusion, the University strives to build sustainable relationships with sovereign Native Nations and Indigenous communities through education offerings, partnerships, and community service. ...
