Salt Lake Pottery Studio: Where the Wheel Keeps Turning

In the three years since opening Salt Lake Pottery Studio, Madison Maria has seen her life change as quickly as her business. “I was engaged when I opened, married, divorced last year,” she says, describing a period marked by “constant change, with life and business and the economy.” That instability has shaped the way she runs the studio. “The one thing in life that’s constant is change,” she says.

Stories Gather in Marie Watt Exhibition at UMFA

On view through June 21, Storywork: The Prints of Marie Watt at the UMFA brings together more than three decades of the artist’s practice in an exhibition that approaches storytelling not as illustration, but as structure. Drawn from the collections of the Jordan D. Schnitzer Family Foundation, the exhibition traces how narrative moves across mediums and communities, emerging through collaboration rather than individual authorship.

Currency and Financial Instrument Correlation in FX Markets

Correlation—a statistical measure of how two variables move in relation to each other—plays a key role in shaping trading strategies, managing risk, and identifying market opportunities in FX. Correlation coefficients, which range from -1.0 to +1.0, help quantify the strength and direction of relationships between currency pairs. A value of +1.0 indicates perfect positive correlation, meaning the two variables move in the same direction 100% of the time. A coefficient of -1.0 reflects perfect negative correlation, where the variables move in opposite directions.

UMOCA’s “Altered States” Depicts a Vivid, Far-Out American West

At the turn of the 20th century, the American West came vividly into focus in the public imagination, shaped by a flourishing body of romantic representation circulated through poetry, illustration, travel writing, and popular media. Among the voices helping to define this picturesque vision was Henry Herbert Knibbs, a Canadian poet born in 1874 and widely regarded as a forebear of the Western genre.

Ten Years of Arts and Cultural Criticism in the American Southwest (2015-25) - lox01.com

This is my ten-year anniversary of writing arts and cultural criticism in (and around) Utah: a long, slightly chaotic labor of love that has given me far more than a publication list. It gave me a way into rooms I didn’t know how to enter yet—openings, rehearsals, studios, back corners of galleries, folding chairs at community meetings—and, more importantly, it gave me people.

A Geometry of Balance in Dan Evans’ Cut-Paper Abstractions at Finch Lane

Dan Evans’ work begins with the question of what remains once an image has been pared to its essentials. “I’ve always been drawn to systems where clarity matters,” he says, “where you pare things down until the lack of recognition engages the viewer and holds itself.” It’s a clarity rooted not in what the image depicts, but in the structure left behind after everything recognizable has been reduced.

The Salt Lake Art Museum (SLAM) Finds Sanctuary in the Temple

Completed in 1890 for Salt Lake City’s first Jewish congregation, the B’nai Israel Temple carries a depth of cultural memory rare among the city’s remaining historic buildings. Its survival is uncommon in a city where progress has a habit of erasing the physical traces of its own past. Restoring the temple and establishing the Salt Lake Art Museum (SLAM) within it brings into view a narrative that has long remained at the margins.

Meow Wolf Gives Inner Children a Shopper’s Wonderland at Omega Mart

Tales about the founding of the artist collective Meow Wolf—an interactive entertainment-arts company—are as legendary as the company’s mind-bending art installations. Meow Wolf’s name came out of a hat, and some of the artist collective’s initial investment came from George R. R. Martin (of Game of Thrones fame). Meow Wolf’s newest art experience is a 52,000-square-foot, otherworldly shopping excursion called Omega Mart, located in Las Vegas’ AREA15.

David Rios Ferreira and Denae Shanidiin: Transcending Time and Space

Like colorful ensos or organic ouroboros unfurling around black centers, David Rios Ferreira’s collages are circular and dynamic forms, what he calls “imagined gateways, objects through which we may connect with those we cannot reach on this plane.” Accompanied by writing, photographs, and video by Denae Shanidiin, a Diné and Korean artist, the exhibition is the pair’s collaboration inspired by missing and murdered Indigenous people.
