Micol Hebron – Redefining the Artist-Art Center Relationship
. . . Saturday afternoon SLAC’s executive director Adam Price formally introduced his latest organizational change in the form of new senior curator Micol Hebron, who will officially assume her duties in August but who is already very involved in SLAC planning via telephone and email . . .

The Contemporary Art Market
. . . a recent article in the New York Times describes the alleged use, by galleries and artists, of "black lists" to bar purchases by collectors who they believe are buying the works merely to turn a quick profit at the auction houses . . .

Charm at Salt Lake Acting Company
I know what you’re thinking because I thought it too: a play about Margaret Fuller, a second-tier member of an exanimate, obsolete, New England American, quasi-religious literary and philosophical movement, itself a mere sequel to the British Romantics — it sounds like a risky proposition for an evening’s entertainment . . .

Ernesto Pujol's Awaiting
I suspect the local Mormon audience found resonance in Pujol’s mission even while their pragmatic minds may have been baffled by its practice. In his work Pujol wants to create places of silence, loci where time returns to its nature, the urban space is redeemed from its noise and confusion and the individual or group is offered a space and time for contemplation. Salt Lake Mormons might tell Pujol he’s rather late entering the game . . .

Sculpture Today
"Although sculpture remains difficult to show, difficult to sell and difficult to own (perhaps the exact reasons why it flourishes so well in the public domain), it seems to me that there is a subtle but growing interest in sculpture and what is sculpture," says Josh Kanter, a local collector and the subject of an upcoming article in 15 Bytes. This growing interest was evidenced, he says, in the attendance at the International Sculpture Center's recent London conference - What is Sculpture in the 21st Century? . . .
