Rooted in the shared language of hockey\, the exhibition examines the body as both subject and medium through a series of collaborative works presented publicly for the first time. Drawing on h is experience as an athlete\, Trouba covers himself in ink while wearing h ockey gear and propels himself across the canvas\, leaving behind marks th at record speed\, force\, and impact. Wegman responds by translating those gestures into paintings that reinterpret the movement at an intimate scal e\, creating an ongoing dialogue between action and reflection. Borrowing its title from the hockey maneuver in which a player forcefully checks an opponent with both hands on the stick\, Cross Check reveals how physicalit y\, play\, and creative exchange transform movement\, whether on the ice o r in the studio\, into a powerful form of artistic expression. \n\n“Cros s Check: William Wegman and Jacob Trouba” is organized by Senior Curator Alana Hernandez and Windgate Curatorial Fellow Sade Moore and made possib le by generous funding from NHL Unites. Additional support is provided by the ASU Art Museum’s Creative Impact Board\, Director’s Council and I nnovation Council.

India)\, Wanesia Misqu adace (Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa\, b. 1971)\, and Agnese Udinotti (United States\, b. Greece 1940). This multigenerational grouping of artists lends itself to a rich conversation about training\, history\, and material concerns. Through diverse alloy-based practices\, the exhibi tion explores connections between the body\, nature\, labor and regional c ulture\, revealing metalwork as both an artistic and cultural form of tran sformation. \n  \n“Wrought by Fire: Metalwork of the Southwest” is or ganized by Windgate Curatorial Fellow Sade Moore and made possible by gene rous funding from Windgate Charitable Foundation. This research was suppor ted by a Craft Research Fund Grant from the Center for Craft.

The two initially were uncertain how their practices would mesh as Dauphin is a mixed media/ceramic artist while Best is best known for her found object paintings and murals. However\, after their first meeting\, t hey formed an instant connection and friendship. Their conversations laste d for hours\, discussing their individual practices. Among the many common alities between both of their work was their desires to collect objects wh ether it be personal everyday items or found objects. Each of their collec tions were immense. Dauphin has an entire room dedicated to items she has saved over the years to use in her artwork while Best’s house has what s he deems as\, “paintings in waiting” tucked away throughout her house. Both realized that they wanted to peel back the curtain of their artistic practice and share their collection of objects but how? \nThat is when th e idea of Curiosity Chapel was born. The team searched for months finding the right furniture to house their collection\, creating a free-standing r oom from thrifted cabinets and dressers. Hidden inside the drawers were co llections of objects from both Dauphin and Best’s studios. With each new drawer to open\, a new discovery. Visitors spent hours going through each of the cabinets finding interesting collections of items along the way fr om bread tags to silver spoons. The question that frequently fell from vis itor’s lips\, “What’s next?” The duo felt this natural inertia to continue this installation and began discussing possibilities. Their resol ution: implode Curiosity Chapel. \nFor The Collectionists\, the artists de cided that their one guiding rule for the exhibition would be that they co uld only create artwork from the collections that were in Curiosity Chapel . While on the surface\, the exhibition appears to be about two artists th at have an affinity to collect found objects\, their practices are more in terwoven than that. This exhibition explores the intersections of Dauphin and Best’s practices including their affinity for numbers and both of th eir habits of creating rules around their artwork. However\, what seems to be most apparent in both of their work is how both of their artworks seem to collect something much more existential\, the passage of time. \nOpeni ng Reception\nFriday\, September 11\, 6-8pm \nRSVP LAST-MODIFIED:20260729T183911Z LOCATION:Vision Gallery\, 10 E Chicago St\, Chandler\, AZ\, 85225\, United States URL:https://www.visiongallery.org/event/the-collectionists-heidi-dauphin-l aura-spalding-best/?utm_source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=ph oenix-az X-SOURCE-NAME:Vision Gallery X-SOURCE-URL:https://www.visiongallery.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Guatemalan Barriletes DTSTART:20260917T160000Z DTEND:20260917T230000Z DTSTAMP:20260913T070757Z UID:10024654-1789635600-1789660800@childrensmuseumofphoenix.org CATEGORIES:arts,family DESCRIPTION:Build your own colorful kite like those from the Giant Kite Fe stival in Guatemala.
