Entrance to Southern Utah Museum of Art's current exhibition This Earth, curated by Stefan Hagen with Hikmet Loe, through December 23, 2021. Hikmet Loe is a renowned Utah curator and artist, whom I have long admired for her brilliantly researched book Robert Smithson Encyclo, which I read in its entirety during my Montello Foundation residency in 2018. Montello is founded by Stefan Hagen, artist visionary.
Flanking the entry to left is my 2019 painting Whose Curious Tree, and to the right Kristin Furlong's Twice Migration, below.
I would not ordinarily document an exhibition I am in, except it is so wonderful, and this way everyone can have access to it.

Visiting the exhibition in person, and in Utah's expansive landscape, revealed many views of the Montello, Nevada landscape that reverberate across time. To see excellent installation photographs with full credit and more about the show and residency, visit Montello Foundation.
