WELCOME TO THE UTAH MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART

This has been a landmark year at 20 S. West Temple, and we are thrilled that you are joining us in the celebration that brings the year to a close. At the end of our 80th year, we are happy to report that our new name, the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art, has been well-received by the community and has provided much-needed clarity about our mission and offerings. Just two years ago, our total audience was 19,000 people; this year, we broke 100,000. Our programming has received critical accolades from the nation’s leading funder of contemporary art, the Andy Warhol Foundation, which awarded UMOCA the largest two-year support grant given to any arts organization in the country in 2011. Locally, we were honored to be recognized as Utah’s Best Museum for the second year in a row by the Best of State organization.

Tonight we are providing you with a sneak peek at two exhibitions—organized by our new Senior Curator Aaron Moulton—that will not be seen by the public for several days yet. In our Main Gallery, Cantastoria explores the continuing role of contemporary artists as the bards of our age, communicating our histories and cultures through languages, song, storytelling, and lyricism. The exhibition features works by a panoply of artists from Utah and around the world. In our New Genres Gallery, you have an opportunity to enjoy the United States museum premiere of Christian Jankowski’s Casting Jesus, a wonderfully-nuanced, poignant, and ultimately bittersweet exploration of faith and the human institutions (religious and cultural) that sustain it. Jankowski’s work has been featured at both the Venice Biennale and the Whitney Biennial. (For those who are intrigued by Casting Jesus, on July 19, 2012, we will be hosting a panel discussion exploring the themes of the work with Rita Wright, Chief Curator of the LDS Church History Museum.)

And, of course, there is tonight’s party. Organized by Trustee Gary Vlasic and an unwavering committee of volunteers, our evening’s festivities offer you the opportunity to purchase some truly amazing items in our silent, art, and live auctions, enjoy an astounding assortment of food and beverage as part of a tented dinner in our courtyard, be astonished by a live performance courtesy of SB Dance, and dance until you drop with DJ Jesse Walker. In short, you are in for one heck of an evening as we launch UMOCA boldly into the coming year.

Thank you for supporting the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art. None of this would be possible without you.

Nationally emerging artist John Bell will host The Next Supper, an uncommon dinner party in which guests are the subject, the art, and the artist. During The Next Supper, dining tables are covered with unfinished canvases the artist screen-prints with text and images that serve as both provocation and backdrop. Bell will encourage guests to use their food and other elements on the table including wine, candle wax, flowers, and utensils to react to and complete the canvases. The artist will assume the role of facilitator and documentarian, and the result will be a participatory work of art created between the artist and dinner guests.

Native Utahn, Ryan Lowder, chef and owner of the Copper Onion, will bring his personal take on New American cuisine to the dinner with an approach inspired by his passion for Utah’s outstanding farmstead ingredients and his experience as a chef cooking his way through Barcelona, NYC, and South America. For his part in the evening, Lowder has agreed to create a meal that not only has outstanding flavors, but also offers the guests a suitable color palette for their part in the evening’s performance.

The Next Supper is a collaboration of Artist John Bell, Mary Fresques, Ryan Lowder and The Copper Onion. Proceeds of the performance art event benefit the mission and vision of the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art.

30TESTIMONIALS

“[The new direction at UMOCA] promises exciting times ahead, a fresh point of view and broad vision...guaranteeing future innovation and a sense of humor previously absent from the Salt Lake art scene.” –Salt Lake Magazine

“[UMOCA’s] metamorphosis...is a momentous event for our community.” –Salt Lake County Mayor Peter Corroon

“UMOCA is at an exciting moment in its history; its new leaders are ambitious in their vision for its programs and exhibitions and committed to deepening connections with the local, national, and international contemporary art community.” –The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts

31TESTIMONIALS

“The space [at UMOCA] is absolutely beautiful and the exhibitions there...were quite compelling. But I think what impressed me the most was the energy of the place. It reminded me a lot of the Hammer Museum, which I believe is the best art venue in LA. They both seem to avoid the distancing of art and public that can be so stifling. I really loved it and will go back.” –Susan Narduli, visiting artist

“In the current bid of art organizations everywhere to redefine their mission, connect with the public in new ways, and yet still promote art with all the earnestness that mission entails, it is apparent to almost anyone that [UMOCA] has hit a hole-in-one.” –Salt Lake Tribune
