Group Show Exhibit runs from Sept 28 - Nov 8 ARTISTS STATEMENT This exhibition endeavors to provide an insight into the diverse range of Printmaking and Book Arts taking place in Utah today. The invited artists represent different areas of the state, and are at different stages in their careers: some recent graduates and others more established artists and educators. The show also reflects the array of techniques and approaches employed by the artists as they have created their prints, and include works in Etching, Lithography, Letterpress, Collagraphy, Relief Printing, Original Digital Prints and Book Arts. Several of the works have employed multiple mediums to create the final image. The techniques mentioned here are all very different; some are quite tactile, some more drawing like, and others photographic, but all can be included under the term - Printmaking. Book Arts pieces can include the above print techniques but may also include many other technical aspects of the discipline, such as book binding and papermaking to name just two. The works in this exhibit also reveal the personal interests of the artists, and the concepts that are of most interest to them. No theme was set as we wanted the work to indicate the personal direction of the artists, and how this is then realized in combination with a particular medium. Like any artistic discipline it is the artists’ affinity for a particular material and technique, married to a compelling idea that creates the most interesting work. During October 2019, The Art and Art History Dept at the University of Utah, will be hosting the 5th Rocky Mountain Printmaking Alliance Symposium, an event that will include lectures, panels, print demonstrations, portfolio events and exhibitions. This exhibition is one of several that will be on during the symposium, in galleries in downtown Salt Lake City, and on the University of Utah campus. https://www.art.utah.edu/transposing-attitudes

Exhibit runs from Sep 26 - Nov 7 Art by Stephanie Swift ARTIST STATEMENT I have always loved old buildings and signs and saw that many of the signs I loved were disappearing. I wanted to capture them before they were gone. So I started taking photos of them, and rather than hide the flaws and age in the signs and buildings, I try to celebrate the flaws when I digitally illustrate them. It didn’t take long for me to realize, these were more than just signs I thought were beautiful. Everyone has their own story about these places. And I have heard some great ones. I have heard about many nights at Bill and Nada’s, or how they went to Snelgrove’s, when they were kids, and not to mention the MANY, MANY misadventures at Coachman’s and Bar-X. This is my little way of trying to keep the city from becoming just another place, and keeping it special.

CODEC GALLERY: JUN 28 – NOV 2, 2019

Glazed Atrium is an exploration of the theatrical nature employed by late capitalism, especially the architectural grandeur used in retail. The vast atriums and balconies of shopping malls dwarf the individual body, making one stand in awe of the almost spiritual lure of consumerism. This, of course, is an old tactic repurposed from centuries-old cathedrals and more recent modernist/state-funded building projects. What was used to broadcast piety and power is used by retail to project seemingly limitless and transcendent dreams of individualism. However, these spaces now exist almost entirely in the past-tense. Dead malls are torn down, and their atriums flattened into digitized memories. While their aims were deceptive and illusionary, and their promises wholly fraudulent; one can’t help but lament the dreams evoked by these spaces. Another future that never came to be.

Framework Arts presents the League of Reluctant Bicyclists, a participatory art project. The League is born out of the need for subtle fellowship and solidarity that serves as a motivational nudge to get in the saddle, and a desire to explore and make visible the relationships involved in getting from one place to another. During April 1-May 31, 2019, League members chose for themselves what their participation looked like – where and how often they rode – and documented that experience through photography, short written responses, and film footage collected by the project archivists. The project content was both revealed and shaped by member benefits, optional weekend meetups, the manifesto, and member testimonials. This showcase chronicles the League’s experience through artifacts and interactive artworks that explore the spaces between reluctance and enthusiasm, riding and not riding, comfort and discomfort, two wheels and four.
