TEMPE, Ariz. – “Mighty Manimal March,” the second of a two-part temporary,
shared-terrain public art exhibition was installed on Friday October 12
Friday on the ASU Gammage lawn, at the northeast corner of Mill Avenue and
Apache Boulevard.
Seattle artist Nicole Kistler, formerly of Tempe, will install a more than
160 commercially produced plastic, latex and fiberglass animal lawn
ornaments, such as deer, flamingoes and coyotes on the Gammage lawn. The
menagerie features 64 flamingoes, 30 penguins, five pelicans, seven iguanas
and lizards, two pythons, 10 chicks, a baby elephant named “Bessie,” 11 wild
boar, 20 rabbits, four squirrels, six reindeer and three bears. She intends
to arrange this “river” of animals so that they appear to be on a protest
march or leaving class together and chatting about the course material.
The installation will be on display through December (date pending).
Shared Terrain exhibitions are intended to explore the blurred territory and
shared history where the university meets the city. Pedestrians and
passengers of the thousands of vehicles that pass through this area can
receive a new perspective on the familiar territory and expand their
awareness of site-responsive artwork.
This exhibition furthers the arts district concept of Mill Avenue, which
begins at Gammage Auditorium and includes the Music Building, ASU Art Museum
and the Ceramics Research Center and several School of Art galleries.

In Arizona, a woman is murdered by her husband or boyfriend every four days.
In an effort to bring attention and awareness to this staggering problem,
the City of Mesa and Save the Family Foundation of Arizona have joined
forces to create a display at the Main Library, 64 E. First St., which will
run through the month of October. The display contains artwork and
stories from the mothers and children in Save the Family’s program.
Visitors to the display will learn to recognize domestic violence, see how
domestic violence victims are working to turn their lives around as well as
find out how they can volunteer and help be part of the solution. The
display coincides with October being Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
Save the Family provides transitional housing and case management services
to more than 300 families a year. With 159 housing units serving homeless
families with children throughout the Valley, Save the Family is changing
the face of homelessness and helping many women and children of domestic
violence get a fresh start. Through programs like Career Development, Legal
Assistance and domestic violence and parenting classes, clients in Save the
Family’s program learn to become both economically and emotionally
self-sufficient.
For more information, contact Save the Family Volunteer Director Andrea Sok
at 480-898-0228, extension 215.

TEMPE, Ariz. – An exhibition exploring a number of themes and media
surrounding artists’ personal interpretations of “Containment” will be on
display from Sept. 6 to Nov. 2 in the Lower Level Library, 3500 S.
Rural Road.
The exhibition features work by artists Sandra Luehrsen of Tempe; Denise
Currier of Mesa; Leandro Soto, Kate Timmerman and Denise Yaghmourian, all of
Phoenix; and Hyun Jee Suh of Chandler.
“A container or vessel can take almost any shape and function that a person
can imagine,” Exhibition Coordinator Michelle Dock said.
‘Containers can be as inexpressive as a cardboard box, zip-lock bag or
plastic cup. But in the hands of an artist, containers can be embellished
with meaning and value.”
Containers in this exhibition become intimate vessels for precious objects
and memories like a locket, jewelry box or scrapbook.
Containment also is reflected in two- and three-dimensional objects and
ideas such as confinement, restraint or protection.
For some artists, the theme refers to an object such a teapot, box or bowl.
Some of these objects are functional while others are more decorative. For
other artists, the theme refers to a communication of feelings and
expression of ideas.

9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday-Thursday
