February 15th, Phoenix: Artist Talk by Matthew Moore
Phoenix Art Museum
Artist talk by Matthew Moore
Wednesday, February 15, 2012 at 7:00 pm
Free and open to the public. Seating is first come, first served.
“An Arizona-based artist and farmer, Matthew Moore (b. 1976) is the last of four generations to farm his family’s land. Through his art, using the legacy and scale of Land Art, Moore explores the loss of farmland to urban growth in the metropolitan Phoenix area, as well as contemporary consumers’ alienation from the basic principles of agriculture. And the Land Grew Quiet: New Work by Matthew Moore represents an innovative and new direction in Moore’s work, contrasting the cycles of development and speculation in our own time with those of the Great Depression by mixing technology and nature as well as fiction and history. It is conceived as a single project that maps urban growth on the land and nature’s resistance to the man-made within the sublime context of the harsh but awe-inspiring landscape and climate of central Arizona.”
This lecture is being presented in conjunction with Moore’s exhibition And the Land Grew Quiet: New Work by Matthew Moore, on view until June 10, 2012.

Janelle Lynch, Los Jardines de México
Thursday, December 1, 2011
Artist Talk at 5:30 pm
Opening Reception from 6:30 to 8:00pm
“Janelle Lynch‘s photographs in her recent title, Los Jardines de México explore themes related to the life cycle and its representations in the urban and rural landscape. Made between 2002 and 2007, each project investigates, if not embraces, a specific facet of existence: loss, death, regeneration, and life. The exhibition is comprised of four series: El Jardín de Juegos, serving as her first project upon moving to Mexico City; Donde Andaba, juxtaposing wild plant life with architecture; Akna, anthropomorphizing tree stumps in a nature reserve; and La Fosa Común, focusing on a functioning, century-old common grave centrally located within the city. The combination of these four bodies of work, three from Mexico City and one from Chiapas, examines the persistence of life. ”

About
“From dramatic panoramic sequences to evocative toy-like images, Philipp Scholz Rittermann‘s work spans the visual spectrum. He uses urban, industrial and natural landscapes as canvases to explore recurring themes in his surroundings. An enduring theme in Rittermann’s work, beginning with his nocturnal images of urban landscapes from the early eighties, is the depiction of the passage of time. He continues this theme in his latest panoramic sequences which offer views so wide, they extend beyond what we can physically see with our own eyes. Through his images, we see beyond our senses.”
