SUMMARY:Shifting to Joy: Mike Margolis
DESCRIPTION:As a young man\, he dreamt of dedicating his life to art. With a strong passion\, he pursued art education and even had the incredible opportunity to create illustrations for Hallmark after college. However\, practicality led him to a more stable career in the seafood industry. For over 50 years\, Margolis dedicated himself to ensuring fresh seafood was delivered to restaurants across the Valley\, working tirelessly from early morning until late at night. \nThe pandemic brought unexpected challenges to his business\, as restaurant operations were disrupted. It was during this time of uncertainty that Margolis rekindled his first love—art. Since 2020\, he has explored various artistic styles\, each reflecting an underlying joy of life\, or “joie de vivre.” In this upcoming exhibition\, Margolis presents two collections that radiate a sense of happiness and lightness\, expressed through playful gestures and creative use of scale. \nOpening Reception\nFriday\, May 30\, 6-8pm \nRSVP

SUMMARY:Red Dawn: Germán Benincore
DESCRIPTION:Living in space has captivated human imagination for centuries\, inspiring countless works of literature\, film\, and even fueling space exploration. From childhood fantasies of soaring through the stars to government-funded missions exploring outer space\, the notion of living beyond Earth has long been a part of our collective dream. Recently\, however\, the growing push for commercial space ventures and proposals for terraforming planets\, like Mars\, has raised important questions about the motivations behind these ambitions. \nIn his installation Red Dawn\, artist\, Germán Benincore\, reflects on the ethical and philosophical dilemmas tied to humanity’s desire to inhabit other planets. The inspiration for this work arose during a bike ride through Phoenix\, where Benincore was struck by the stark urban landscape and its concrete structures\, drawing a parallel between the ongoing urbanization of Earth and the potential for transforming Mars into a livable environment. Through a combination of drawings\, sculptures\, and ready made objects\, Red Dawn challenges viewers to consider the implications of terraforming in relation to current social and environmental issues. \nIn this installation\, Phoenix is depicted as a model for terraforming—an experiment in adapting an environment for human habitation. The project intertwines narratives of ecological challenges\, space exploration\, and the motivations behind large-scale colonization projects. Benincore critiques the disconnection some of society’s elites may feel toward current struggles on Earth\, highlighting how this pursuit may overlook pressing issues here at home. Red Dawn encourages reflection on both the technological ambitions of today and the broader ethical implications of pushing humanity into new frontiers. \n
