Contemporary Masters
To open June 18
at Salt Lake Art Center
18 fully-playable holes of mini golf designed by Utah and national artists.
Salt Lake Art Center and 337 Project are pleased to present Contemporary Masters, 18 fully-playable holes of miniature golf art designed by Utah and national artists. Exhibition opens June 18 and plays through September 16, 2010.
According to Adam Price, Executive Director of Salt Lake Art Center and founder of 337 Project, “Contemporary Masters presents a wonderful opportunity to examine the relationship between art and audience. My own experience in this community is that not nearly enough people are given the opportunity to encounter contemporary art or to incorporate it into their daily lives. This exhibition offers visitors, in a good-humored way, a chance to explore their world through contemporary art and to decide for themselves whether they want to become fans.”
Peter Everett, participating artist and Associate Professor at Brigham Young University commented, “Making art is an open-ended and hands-on process that involves exploration and play. It is exciting that viewers will literally be part of this play and exploration!
John Bell, also a participating artist, is contemplative about the show, “This has been a pretty interesting commission. I leaned more toward making a piece of art you could play golf on rather than making a golf hole that you would call art.”
Contemporary Masters is a juried exhibition, with each of the 18 holes designed by a single artist or group of artists. The 23 participants include: John Bell, Brian Butler & Christopher Wawrinofsky, Trent Call, Tessa Lindsey & Clint Call, Andrew Callis, Kisslan Chan, Craig Cleveland, Madelin Coit, Spencer Douglass, Peter Everett, Nathan Florence, Jennifer Joseph, Stephanie Leitch, Ryan Lewis, Jimmy Lucero, Loggins Merrill, Davina Pallone, Erin & Nick Potter, and John Preus & Sara Black.
The Art Center will extend public hours during Contemporary Masters to include Sundays June 20 – September 16, from noon to 5pm.
