SUMMARY:Approaching the Natural: Artwork by Mary Meyer and Aimee Ollinger
DESCRIPTION:Image: Aimee Ollinger (left)\, Mary Meyer (right) \nFor millennia\, humans have tried to replicate nature through scientific and artistic means. However\, the fallible nature of human hands never allows us to fully capture the intrinsic beauty of nature.  Artworks by Mary Meyer and Aimee Ollinger continually approach the natural\, with their splendor lying in the artists’ reinterpretation of the organic forms. Meyer’s reliefs and wall sculptures attempt to understand the symmetry in nature and how the forms relate to and are similar to the human body. Ollinger’s embroidery and mixed media work seeks to understand the macroscopic and microscopic by controlling the entropic nature of various organic forms. By placing these artists beside one another\, Approaching the Natural quietly expresses the diverse beauty that lies in nature from the hard curved edges in Meyer’s sculptures to the free flowing lines in Ollinger’s work. \nMetro Phoenix EcoFlora\nThis exhibition is produced in collaboration with Metro Phoenix EcoFlora\, a program of the Desert Botanical Garden that invites neighborhood naturalists to participate in studying urban biodiversity. Read on to learn more about how you can get involved with this fun project! \nReception – Now In Person\nJoin us for an in-person reception with the artists on Saturday\, April 10 from 2 – 4pm! Both artists will be in attendance. This will not be a timed entry event\, but please RSVP if you plan to attend. \nIf you are unable to attend the reception\, Aimee and Mary participated in a monthly presentation called EcoQuestions hosted by EcoFlora\, and shared some wonderful insights about their artwork and process. This presentation is available for you to watch online any time. \nRSVP for ReceptionWatch EcoQuestionsExhibition Photos\nGet Involved with EcoFlora\nInspired by this exhibit?

SUMMARY:PLAY Hard
DESCRIPTION:As an adult\, how often do we actually think of playing? What does it mean to play? Who has the ability to do so? For this exhibition\, Melissa Sclafani and Ellie Richards examine the idea of play\, but through very different lenses. Sclafani’s political sculptures use the aesthetics of the playground to examine systemic racial and economic inequalities in communal outdoor areas\, while Richards’ readymades and assemblages seek to address the distinct psychological shifts between objects and behaviors associated with childhood memory\, labor\, and learning. This lighthearted exhibition with serious themes will inspire you to reconsider an element of our lives that we take for granted. \nActivity Guide\nBring this exhibition home with our PLAY HARD Activity Guide! These are available for free either online (download below) or in the gallery. This booklet for kids and adults is filled with wacky prompts to get you thinking about the themes of this show while having a blast. \nFor best printing results\, open with Adobe Acrobat and print as a booklet. \nDownload Activity GuideVirtual Visit
