PHOENIX (December 20, 2023) – This winter, the Phoenix Art Museum Education and Engagement team will install a new community-art installation titled Safety Blankets: Discourse on Neurodivergence in the Museum’s administration building. The installation showcases quilt and textile works by 15 artists from Arizona and across the U.S. who depict their lives and experiences as neurodivergent people. Organized by Charissa Lucille and supported in part by the City of Phoenix’s New Artist to Work Grant, it aims to disrupt misconceptions, spark connections and discourse, and challenge the meaning of neurodivergence. Safety Blankets: Discourse on Neurodivergence will open to the public on Creative Saturday on January 13, 2024 in the community art space located in the Museum’s administration building. The event will feature artist presentations from 10 am – noon.

“This installation includes artwork that is tactile, inviting viewers to step into the artwork, materials, and stories around their work,” said Tiffany Lippincott, Curator of Education at Phoenix Art Museum. “Art has the ability to connect us all. Our hope is that this installation builds connections and understanding.”

Safety Blankets: Discourse on Neurodivergence features textile works by artists Sheena Cly Wahid, Yolie Contreras, Alice Costas, Phoenix Alvarado, Alistair Malone, Layla Nieves, Ari Rendon, Caroline Wilson, Aaron Davis, Michelle Dawn, Chris Leon Armarillas, Maira McDermott, Janelle Novotny, vivid schisms, and Charissa Lucille. The installation is organized by Lucille, an artist and arts administrator based in Phoenix who works with quilting, self-publishes zines, and explores genetics, access needs, and communication styles related to their neurodivergence through their personal practice. Safety Blankets offers textile representations of neurodivergent experiences and includes 10 intentional universal design elements for neurodivergent and disabled people. The fabrics evoke an expanded understanding of encounters artists may have and what occurs within their minds and bodies.

The installation is accompanied by an audio component, available via in-gallery QR codes. There will also be various education programs inspired by the exhibition announced on a later date.

PHOENIX (November 28, 2023) – This winter, Phoenix Art Museum (PhxArt) presents Guarding the Art: A Frontline Perspective, the first exhibition of its kind at PhxArt to feature works from the Phoenix Art Museum Collection selected by guest curators from the institution’s security, retail-sales, and event-rentals teams. The exhibition is the first national iteration of Guarding the Art, an exhibition model developed by the Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA) in 2022, with generous support from the Pearlstone Family Fund. PhxArt’s presentation of Guarding the Art—made possible through the generosity of PNC Bank—draws from the Museum’s collection of more than 20,000 objects and features works by renowned artists such as Keith Haring, Hector Ruiz, and Lew Davis, among others. It is accompanied by original interpretative materials written by the 13 guest curators, in addition to an illustrated publication. Guarding the Art: A Frontline Perspective will be on view from January 19 through November 24, 2024 in the Rineberg and Ballinger galleries at Phoenix Art Museum.

“Phoenix Art Museum is proud to presentGuarding the Art: A Frontline Perspective to Arizona audiences,” said Jeremy Mikolajczak, the Sybil Harrington Director and CEO of Phoenix Art Museum. “Building upon the incredible exhibition realized by Baltimore Museum of Art, Guarding the Art is the first at PhxArt to invite guest curators from our frontline staff and underscores the importance of creating opportunities to center diverse voices selecting the art featured in our galleries and exhibitions.”

In December 2022, PhxArt and the BMA announced a partnership to develop and implement the first national iteration of the acclaimed Guarding the Art exhibition in Phoenix. The original exhibition was conceived by longtime BMA Trustee Amy Elias, with the goal of highlighting the unique perspectives and reflections of security staff who spend thousands of hours in the galleries interacting with visitors and engaging with artworks on the walls. In February 2023, PhxArt invited members of its security, guest-services, facilities, event-rentals, and retail-services teams to apply for the role of Guarding the Art guest curators through an internal application process. Over the past year, the team of 13 frontline staff members worked closely with mentoring curator Susana Torruella Leval, Director Emerita and former chief curator of El Museo del Barrio in New York, and PhxArt organizing curator Christian Ramírez, the Cohn Assistant Curator of Contemporary and Community Art Initiatives. They also collaborated with staff members across the Museum’s registration, marketing and communications, arts education and engagement, and exhibition-design teams.

The culminating exhibition—titled Guarding the Art: A Frontline Perspective—will premiere to the public on January 19 and features more than 20 works from across various collecting areas, including modern, contemporary, and American art. Featured works include Little Boy Lives in a Copper Camp (1939) by Lew Davis, Untitled (1979) by Richard Anuszkiewicz, and Woman with Jar (1975) by Paul Pletka, among others.

“Though the exhibition is quite diverse in overall content, the underlying current is one of unity, inclusion, diversity, and acceptance,” said Guarding the Art guest curators in a joint statement.

Each artwork is accompanied by an extended label written by a guest curator. Guest curators were also responsible for producing an accompanying bilingual exhibition catalogue that includes all of the exhibition’s artworks and related text. The catalogue will be on sale beginning January 19 and features a roundtable discussion that provides insight into the group’s curatorial process.  

“Shortly after the opening of Guarding the Art in Baltimore, I realized the unique opportunity that it afforded not just our museum, but also museums and communities throughout the country for those who have always been seen in museums, but not necessarily valued for their perspectives on the art within,” said BMA Trustee Amy Elias. “It is deeply gratifying to see that the leadership at Phoenix Art Museum embraced the concept, and I am confident it will be as successful in Phoenix as it was in Baltimore.”

“PNC has a legacy of investing in the arts, and we understand the economic, social and civic impacts of a thriving arts and culture community,” said Cathleen Walker, PNC regional president of Phoenix and Northern Arizona. “With Guarding the Art, Phoenix Art Museum continues to engage our community through dynamic and innovative exhibitions. PNC is proud to help bring this opportunity to Phoenix.”

PHOENIX (March 15, 2023) – This spring, Phoenix Art Museum (PhxArt) presents Methuselah (2022) by Cuban artist Reynier Leyva Novo, a digital artwork that follows a butterfly avatar along its journey from southern Canada, across the United States, into Mexico, and back again as part of the species’ annual reproductive cycle. On-site visitors will experience the Monarch’s movements and behaviors in a shared environment using a holographic device. Additionally, Methuselah is hosted and reproduced in real-time on a dedicated website so that users across the world with internet access can experience the work at any time. The mixed-reality installation at PhxArt will be on view beginning May 6 in the Museum’s Katz Wing for Modern Art. It is presented in conjunction with Juan Francisco Elso: Por América, the first retrospective since 1992 to explore the career of the late Cuban artist Juan Francisco Elso.

Monarch butterflies weigh less than one gram each and live only two to six weeks, requiring four generations of offspring to complete their annual migration. Methuselah refers to the fourth generation of Monarchs who are born at the northern most point of the migration pattern and live longer than the other generations. In late summer and fall, the Methuselah generation begins a two-month, 6,000-mile journey from southern Canada and the northern United States to Mexico, where they stop to hibernate in the remote oyamel fir forests. In February and March, they awaken and begin the return home, laying millions of eggs along the way before dying.

Methuselah (2022) was created by Cuban artist Reynier Leyva Novo in collaboration with butterfly experts, taxidermists, animators, computer modelers, and software designers, translating an analog specimen into a digital animation, or virtual avatar. The open-distribution model of the artwork, which allows for observation 24 hours a day, draws upon data points related to actual conditions the Monarch experiences during migration, including inclement weather and rough terrain. Any person with an internet connection can access the work via methuselahmonarch.com, helping to eliminate social, cultural, geographic, and economic barriers. The artwork can also be individually accessed on mobile devices via a free app on the App Store. Through a mixed-reality installation at PhxArt in May, on-site visitors will be afforded an intimate experience with the elegant Monarch via a holographic device as it continues along its migratory path.

At Phoenix Art Museum, Methuselah is presented in conjunction with the major exhibition Juan Francisco Elso: Por América and the complementary exhibition Lo que es, es lo que ha sido/What It Is, Is What Has Been: Selections from the ASU Art Museum’s Cuban Art Collection, both of which are curated by Olga Viso, curator-at-large at PhxArt and senior advisor at Arizona State University’s Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts, in collaboration with Susanna V. Temkin, curator at El Museo del Barrio, and Julio César Morales, executive director and co-chief curator of MoCA Tucson, respectively. In September 2022, the Museum was part of a group of nearly 20 international cultural organizations that came together to support the launch of Methuselah, among them the Americas Society, ​New York​; Art Gallery of Ontario, Canada; Ballroom Marfa, Texas; High Museum of Art, Georgia; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington D.C.; International Center for the Arts of the Americas / Museum of Fine Arts Houston, Texas; MIT List Visual Arts Center, Massachusetts; Memphis Brooks Museum of Art, Tennessee; Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, Canada; Museo Jumex, Mexico; Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo, MUAC, UNAM, Mexico; Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami, Florida; The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Missouri; New York Botanical Garden, New York; Pérez Art Museum Miami, Florida; Santa Barbara Museum of Art, California; and Seattle Art Museum, Washington.

This summer, Methuselah will also be accessible at other Valley venues, including at the ASU Art Museum in Tempe, where ASU students and museum visitors can experience Methuselah in a mixed-reality setting in the Museum’s Artists’ Workshop space; the ASU Media and Immersive eXperience Center (MIX) in Mesa, which will live stream Methuselah’s flight path north on its 80-foot exterior jumbo screen; and Desert Botanical Garden, which will host a public conversation with artist Reynier Leyva Novo and Garden pollinator experts, followed by a tour of the Garden’s renowned Cohn Family Butterfly Pavilion. Each institution will release more programming information as it becomes available.

“The soft diplomacy of the Monarch, as well as its perseverance, offers a critical metaphor for 21^st-century existence related both to migration and our impending climate crisis,” said Viso. “That Novo created this work during his own migration out of Cuba and that the Monarch was recently categorized as an endangered species makes it all the more poignant. This interest and exploration of transnationalism and the fragility of existence pays tribute to Juan Francisco Elso’s own fascination with those topics, demonstrating how Elso’s influence on new generations of Cuban artists such as Novo lives on.”

About the Installation
Methuselah is commissioned by El Museo del Barrio through the generous support of VIA Art Fund. The project is presented in relation to the exhibition Juan Francisco Elso: Por América, which is organized by El Museo del Barrio and made possible thanks to major support from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. The presentation of Juan Francisco Elso: Por América at Phoenix Art Museum is made possible through the generosity of Partner Sponsor Sue and Bud Selig and Supporting Sponsors Men’s Arts Council, The Opatrny Family Foundation, and the Virginia G. Piper Charitable Exhibition Endowment Fund, with additional support from Kimpton Hotel Palomar.

Admission is free for Museum Members; youth aged 5 and younger; and Maricopa County Community Colleges students. Entrance into the exhibition is included in general admission for the public. Visitors may also enjoy reduced admission to the exhibition during voluntary-donation times on Wednesdays from 3 – 9 pm, made possible by SRP and supported in part through the generosity of the Angela and Leonard Singer Endowment for Performing Arts.

PHOENIX (June 20, 2018) –Beginning July 14, Phoenix Art Museum presents an original exhibition of rarely-shown prints, drawn from the Museum’s collection, by two giants of twentieth-century art. Rauschenberg and Johns: The Blurring of Art and Life showcases more than 20 works on paper, including lithographs, silkscreens, screen prints, and collage, by neo-Dada artists Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns. These works detail a fascinating visual conversation between two of modern art’s most influential creators, evident in their comparable use of familiar objects and contemporary images in service of multiple, often uncertain, meanings. On view from July 14 through November 11 in the Museum’s Orientation Gallery, Rauschenberg and Johns: The Blurring of Art and Life provides fascinating new insight into the innovative, mutually influential practices of the two artists.

“Phoenix Art Museum is delighted to feature prints from our collection in Rauschenberg and Johns: The Blurring of Art and Life,” said Amada Cruz, the Sybil Harrington Director and CEO of Phoenix Art Museum. “We are fortunate to count this strong set of prints and works on paper in our holdings, and we look forward to sharing a new perspective on these influential artists with our community.”

Rauschenberg and Johns met in 1953 in New York City. The two artists created alongside each other and collaborated for years, first as friends and then as romantic partners from 1954 to 1961. Both artists also spent time at the workshop Gemini G.E.L. (Graphic Editions Limited) in Los Angeles, which influenced their mutually collaborative approach to printmaking. As a result, they inevitably grew to create art that bears obvious similarities. Evident in the prints on display, Rauschenberg and Johns often stacked images upon images to create visually complex compositions that suggest meanings that are fluid, if not wholly undefined.

For example, in Rauschenberg’s Poster for Dayton’s Gallery 12, the artist clipped articles from newspapers and collaged them together to create something new, disassembling a physical manifestation of “truth” to offer an alternative, perhaps less certain, reality. Similarly, Johns deconstructs familiar symbols in the creation of Flag, Committee Against the War in Vietnam to express the political turmoil of the anti-war movement. True to his series of multicolored and mixed-media flags, the work presents yet another altered image of the American flag, replacing the patriotic red, white, and blue with orange, black, and green, and a white dot in the center. This work reveals Johns’ tendency to experiment with color and various media: if the viewer focuses on the white dot for 60 seconds and then looks at a blank white wall, the original color scheme of the American flag will appear.

These ambiguities of meaning exemplify the kind of works visitors can expect to see in the exhibition. In Rauschenberg and Johns: The Blurring of Art and Life, there are images of everything from a ruler to a broom to pictures of fans, wind turbines, and the American flag, a clear nod to their predecessor and founder of the Dada art movement, Marcel Duchamp, who elevated everyday objects to the status of art. However, these recognizable images are now placed within coded narratives, often characterized by contradictions and mixed signals that leave their new meaning fluid and open to interpretation.

“Seeing these rich print materials together brings a new dimension to our understanding of the innovations that Rauschenberg and Johns contributed to twentieth-century art and printmaking. They also serve as an example of how a personal relationship between two artists can translate into mutual influence,” said Rachel Zebro, the Museum’s curatorial associate of modern and contemporary art, who curated the exhibition. “Their works absolutely had an effect on each other, particularly in their experimentation with printmaking and use of familiar objects. Johns and Rauschenberg brought everyday forms and materials into their practice in different ways, but ultimately created works in the space where the lines between art and life are often blurred.”

About the Exhibition
Rauschenberg and Johns: The Blurring of Art and Life will be on view from July 14 through December 16 in Orientation Gallery. This exhibition is organized by Phoenix Art Museum. It is made possible through the generosity of donors to the Museum’s annual fund. For more details about the exhibition, please visit phxart.org/exhibition/rauschenbergjohns.

Admission is free for Museum Members; veterans, active-duty, and retired military; Maricopa Community College students, staff, and faculty (with ID); and youth aged 5 and under. Entrance to the exhibition is included in general admission for the general public. During voluntary-donation, free-access times, the exhibition is offered free to the general public. Free-access times include Wednesdays from 3 –

9 pm, the first Fridays of every month from 6 – 10 pm, and the second weekend of each month (Saturday from 10am – 5pm and Sunday

from Noon – 5pm). For a full breakdown of general admission prices and hours, see bit.ly/VisitPhxArt.
