FALLEN FRUIT OF UTAH
SCAVENGER HUNT AND FRUIT MAPS
JUNE 11 - SEPTEMBER 17, 2011
 
Visit the Art Center's current exhibition, Fallen Fruit of Utah, and delve into a fruit-oriented scavenger hunt for all ages. Just ask the front desk attendant for a scavenger hunt clip board on your way into the gallery.
Also, don't miss out on free fruit! Start your quest for abundant apricots and plentiful plums by downloading Fallen Fruit's Fruit Maps to help you navigate publicly accessible fruit trees in Salt Lake City!
Fallen Fruit of Utah is a collaboration with museums and individuals around the state about the role of fruit in Utah's history, led by artist collective Fallen Fruit.
"Nor shall you glean your vineyard, nor shall you gather the fallen fruit of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the needy and for the stranger." Leviticus 19:10.

LOOPED: MAGIC AND MYSTICISM
JUNE 1 - JULY 31, 2011
The third iteration of Looped in the foyer gallery showcases three prominent contemporary video artists including Turner Prize-winner, Mark Wallinger.
Emilie Halpern uses inventive physical effects to create whimsical tromp l'oeil within digital video, resulting in visual puns and illusions that portray a desire to assert control over the forces of physics, love and nature.
Inspired by her mother and the trends of new-ageism in the Southwest, Shana Moulton has made Whispering Pines, a series of performative videos that explore the culture and pseudo-magic of the self-help industry and the humorous and kitschy mechanisms through which we seek enlightenment and healing.
In The Magic of Things, Mark Wallinger revisits 70s TV classic series Bewitched, edits out all human characters, and stitches together scenes of telekenisis to create a universe in which inanimate objects are constantly moving on their own accord.

THE SELECTIVE ECHO
SALT LAKE CITY AT ITS COSMOPOLITAN BEST
 A special thank you to Salt Lake City blog The Selective Echo for an amazing review of the Art Center in celebration of our 80th Anniversary:
"Recently tapped for a Best of State Award for Best Museum... the center, under Adam Price's leadership, has pushed ahead with a tradition-breaking agenda that is,surprisingly, as reflective of its formative years as it is of the ever-shifting terrain of art in the 21st Century." "...The Salt Lake Art Center is, by all measures, an indispensable, essential institution for making the community cultural landscape as socially enterprising as any found in any other American city."
