“Arrivals/Departures” Opens January 18 at Rio Gallery
Exhibition Features Dance and Film
SALT LAKE CITY — Utah Arts & Museums announces the exhibition “Arrivals/Departures” at the Rio Gallery (330 S. Rio Grande). The exhibition opens January 18 and runs through March 8, 2013. Gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Performances will take place during the Salt Lake Gallery Stroll on January 18 and February 21.
“Arrivals/Departures” is a group show curated by loveDANCEmore, featuring dance film and video during gallery hours and live performance during Gallery Strolls on January 18 and February 21. The film, video and performance explore the relationship between land and the dancing body. Some artists deal with landscape in general, while others tackle local spaces — Sugarhouse Park, the Salt Flats, the Main Library and more.
“While linked topically, each artist uses diverse approaches,” noted Margaret Hunt, Director of Utah Arts & Museums. “Audiences might see a projected modern dance performance alongside a television where cowboy figurines dance to a ukulele cover of a Kanye West song. Some work is displayed using televisions and projection; some is displayed using QR codes and telescoping lenses.”

Juan Aldape, a Salt Lake-based choreographer pursuing a master’s degree abroad and engaging in geographic research in collaboration with Edward Pultar, a professor at the University of Utah.
