Contemporary Forum (CF) has given the Mid-Career Artist award annually over the past few years. The award recognizes an Arizona artist whose work demonstrates a sustained degree of excellence and commitment. These efforts to recognize and support such artists are made stronger by Mr. and Mrs. Scult, who have made a generous endowment towards The Arlene and Morton Scult Contemporary Forum Artist Award.
The Recipient is chosen by a jury from a competitive pool of candidates who are nominated by current CF members. The 2015 recipient of The Arlene and Morton Scult Contemporary Forum Artist Award is Saskia Jordá. Her work will be on display in Harnett gallery, in conjunction with 2015 Contemporary Forum Artists Grant Winners at Phoenix Art Museum. Saskia Jordá (American, b. Venezuela) is an interdisciplinary artist whose work encompasses site-specific installation, soft sculpture, and drawing. Using iconic images that repeat as multiples, Saskia explores the idea of skin as a multi-layered artifact. The works included in this exhibition use the vocabulary of mapping and geography to further explore themes of mobility, home, and connection to place, often reflected through fictional landscapes and alternate terrains.
