Participants entered works in five categories. Jurors Michael Calles and R.T. Clark were impressed with the entries and awarded 25 prizes.

LOGAN AREA
Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art UP: Dark Metropolis, Irving Norman's Social Surrealism through October 6. Originating at the Crocker Art Museum in Sacramento California, this exhibit, curated by Scott A. Shields, Ph.D., Chief Curator at the Crocker Art Museum, consists of approximately 25 large-scale paintings by Irving Norman along with 14 examples of the artist's works on paper, and it is accompanied by a 228-page color catalogue. Unmasking the realities of human nature and the contemporary society in which we live, Irving Norman aimed only "to tell the truth of our time." His highly detailed paintings are powerful critiques of modern life, painted in the hope of promoting change. The atrocities Norman witnessed in volunteer service during the Spanish Civil War jolted his consciousness, and he began to express his experiences through drawing and then painting from the 1940s to the 1980s. With the belief that his paintings could act as agents of social reform, Norman felt that pointing out the inequities, horrors and foibles of human behavior might somehow cause people to reconsider their actions. Most paintings were intended for public institutions, particularly museums, where the artist thought "all people could come and study them and contemplate."

AND: On exhibit, a newly purchased work by Seattle-based sculptor Trimpin. Klompen consists of 120 Dutch wooden clogs that "dance" a different rhythmic pattern each time the sculpture is activated. The artist will show slides of his work during a lecture September 6th at 7pm. Trimpin is a sculptor, musician and composer, most of whose pieces integrate sculpture and music in some way, and many make use of computers to play these instruments.

Wellsville UP: American West Art Show, now in its 36th year. The show will run during the 2007 Fall Harvest Festival. The show will open Friday evening, September 28 at 7 pm and will run through Saturday, September 29.

Mary Elizabeth Dee Shaw Gallery at WSU Up: Images for Survival, through October 12. This exhibit showcases the posters of US and Japanese graphic designers that commemorate the forty year anniversary of the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan. Twenty-five years later, these posters are a timely reminder of both the tragic events at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the contemporary reality of the continued proliferation of nuclear arms. This exhibition will be the first time this international collection of posters will be exhibited in Utah. Larry Clarkson, one of the designers featured in the exhibition, will give a lecture on Thursday September 13th from 7 to 8 pm in the Lindquist Lecture Hall/Ethel Wattis Kimball Visual Arts Center/WSU.

Ogden Arts UP: Pieces from the Ed Davies Collection, through September 2008. Davies was a collector of art throughout his life. He traveled the world, and purchased art from the places he traveled. Davies' taste in art was varied and he did not just collect one style or one theme. The Ed Davies Collection will be rotated monthly and will run September 2007 – 2008. This month features the work of Anna Campbell Bliss, Salt-Lake Based art historian, mathematician, architect, designer, and artist; Kent Rigby, architect, sculptor, and ceramic artist; and Carl Van Brunt , New York Gallery owner and artist.

Universe City UP: Photographs by Peter Hansen. The exhibit will run Fridays, September 7, 14, 21, 5:00-8 p.m. and Saturdays, September 8, 15, 22, Noon-8:00 p.m. Peter Hansen graduated from WSU in 2005 with a BFA in Photography. He currently works as a free-lance artist and business entrepreneur. The exhibit features two themes: spaces and objects that personify a loved one. The artist says, "My current work began shortly after the death of a close relative. I meant for the pictures to be something the family could have as a way of remembrance. I was struck for example, by an almost obsessive yet charming quality of decorating and housekeeping. Each space so cared for, each object so thoughtfully placed. These pictures became less about documenting a life and more about evoking a presence. Gloves, Pins, Curlers: These daguerreotypes make a shift from spaces to objects. They are things that belonged to my grandmother. I chose them in part because I feel they say something about grandmothers in general, but also they are very personal and specific to her. In showing them with this series of pictures I hope they may speak of her person."
