Table Manners
March
29 through September 14, 2008
The dinner
table is often a place where families gather to
talk about their days and share a good meal. For
many artists, though, it serves as a source of
inspiration, leading them to create work that
examines the
evolution of kitchen-related objects, food
preparation and sharing. Table Manners offers a
refreshing look at artwork and objects created
from an imaginative range of materials, and
celebrates decades of artists transforming the
family table and kitchen devices into objects of
beauty, whimsy and wit. The messages of the
materials, and their very familiarity, add
layers of content and the delight of
recognition.
Sonoran Safari
May 3 through
August 10, 2008
The
Sonoran Desert region is home to many native
plant and animal species, and artists from
around the world have been inspired by this
unspoiled desert area and its creatu res.
Sonoran Safari features artwork focusing on this
region, often regarded as the jewel of Arizona’s
natural surroundings.
