Title: Ted Wassmer's Ninetieth Year: An Exhibition of Recent Works
Personal Creator: Ted Wassmer
Description: In celebrating his ninetieth year with an exhibition of new work, Ted Wassmer has perhaps inadvertently made his life as an artist look easy. Of course, it has not been. The standard disappointments, tragedies and heartache have been there. Ted's art is as conspicuous for what it is not as for what it is: it does not record the angst of an angry, distant world; it collectively reflects upon itself as a decision to embrace the positive. It is evidence of his choice as much as his circumstance. Exhibition held in the street Level Gallery space.

Title: Romey Stuckart: Paintings
Personal Creator: Romey Stuckart
Description: The panhandle of northern Idaho is home to some of the most spectacular scenery in North America. Sparsely populated, the small communities east of Sandpoint that border Lake Pend Oreille are backed by forests that stretch across the Cabinet and Selkirk mountains until they merge with the Canadian Rockies. To stand in these densely forested mountains, among the firs, pines, and birches, can be both moving and somewhat daunting. Here nature is wilderness. In 1987, when Romey Stuckart first moved to Hope, Idaho, her response as a painter was to adopt these woods as her subject matter. This exhibition of paintings from 1990 to 2002 acts as a record of her response to her chosen environment, as literal depiction of nature in paintings up to 1992 and then the shift to the organic, abstracted paintings that followed. Exhibition held in the Street Level Gallery space.

Title: Unseen Shores: The Post-Vietnam Era from the U.S. Navy Art Collection
Personal Creator: Monica Allen-Perin; Chip Beck' Fred Harris; Gene Klebe; Hughie Lee-Smith; Paul C. DeLorenzo; Robert Adam Malin; Erik Marshall Murray; John Charles Roach; Robert G. Smith; Edward (Ted) Wilbur; Morgan Wilbur; Frank E. Zuccarelli
Description: "Unseen Shores" fills a void in the now traditional contemporary art world that typically favors avant-garde artworks of large scale in a non-referential style and/or with a theoretical foundation and/or in a technologically-innovative medium. These twenty-eight artworks, draw from the U.S. Navy Art Collection, reveal a surprising autonomy in art-making and acquisition in the official embrace of this (and other) branches of the United States military, despite suspicions to the contrary. There is a remarkable cross-section of subjects and styles from expected watercraft and aircraft, to the unexpected -- diversity of gender and race; civil engineering and rescue operations; off-duty leisure -- carving out a space in contemporary art for a realist mode of representation, existing as a hybrid between the objectivity of documentation by intricate theories and not dependent on the novelty of trendy materials. Exhibition held in the Street Level Gallery space.

Title: Transcendence
Personal Creator: Lewis Francis; Lincoln Lysager; David Ruhlman; Anne Watson; Maryann Webster
Description: The premise for this exhibition began with the desire to feature contemporary Salt Lake City based artists working in diversity of media as well as forms of expression. The sense of renewal--by its alchemical and apocalyptic themes--weaves through and binds together the works that otherwise may be only marginally related. In spite of the diversity of media, expression and personal styles, the art tends to reflect states of transcendence, representations of experience beyond ordinary thought and belief. From Maryann Webster's tattooed ceramic dolls, to Lewis Francis' haunting photographs of salt encrusted pylons, to Anne Watson's moving "painted journal" chronicling the passing of her mother, to Lincoln Lysager and David Ruhlman's imaginatively cryptic, mixed media panels, the sense of other-world-liness is strongly implied throughout this exhibit. Exhibit held in the Main Gallery space.

Title: Victor Kastelic: Cloudburst
Personal Creator: Victor Kastelic
Description: A site-specific installation by Victor Kastelic. The unique relationship between the artist and Director Ric Collier is manifested in "Cloudburst," described by the artist as "...an enormous cumulus of imagery--free of filters, schemes, limits and rules that I normally apply to my paintings." This freedom is visible in the multicolored gallery walls; the 200-plus drawings taped to the wall; four large oil paintings and several drawings that were penciled directly on the wall. There sheer number of scenes, people and objects was overwhelming-- a feeling that was only enhanced by the unusual nature of the installation. Exhibition held in the Street Level Gallery space.

Description: "The Daily News" features eleven artists, all currently residing in the United States, who have appropriated the form and content of newspapers in their art work. As a powerful instrument for communication, opinion and popular thought, the print media - most notably the daily newspaper - has played an important role in the cultural, political and social history of the United States.

It informs the public, shapes our view of ourselves and the processes by which we choose our leaders, makes our rules and constructs our values. Exhibition held in the Main Gallery space.

Title: Blindsight: A New Perspective on Painting
Personal Creator: John Bramblitt; George Mendoza; Eric C. Peterson; Vojko Rizvanovic;
Description: People marvel over blind musicians such as Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder, but then their music is so fine you forget they're blind. What, then, of artists nearing the end of their sight? "Blindsight: A New Perspective on Seeing" dispenses with any need of asking that question -- in theory. Instead, it presents works by four painters who started their careers with full vision, only to have it deteriorate almost completely. The result is an exhibit surrounded by questions of whether artistic ideas and visions are more grounded in the mind or the outside world. Salt Lake City native Vojko Rizvanovic adds his paintings to those of artists John Bramblitt of Denton, Texas, George Mendoza of Las Cruces, N.M., and Eric Peterson of Kemah, Texas. Exhibition held in the Street Gallery space.

Description: Color conveys meaning. Blue is the color of things infinite--of the ocean and the sky. Without shape or line, unattached to any object, the color blue can make us feel space, freedom, distance, openness and continuity--abstractions rooted in thousands of years of equating the limitless with blue. To see color, we need history, science, myth, religion, literature, psychology and a great many other disciplines, for the meaning of color is deeply ingrained in the evolution of our collective experience and traditions. The exhibition explores the symbolic, emotional and purely formal nature of all colors by focusing on one color, alone: blue. Exhibition held in the Main Gallery space.
