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.

Treasury Departments, of companies in all sorts of industries, face decision points when calculating budgets amid inflows and outflows of currencies.

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.

Holly Rios Turns Printmaking Into a Conversation on Seeing and Being Seen

Rios’s path to MFA printmaker sharpened her focus on how women learn to see themselves, and her new exhibition uses collage, text, and the uncanny to press into that quiet examination. Her silhouetted collages and cropped bodies form a fragmented visual language that mirrors those inherited pressures and expectations. The show invites a slower kind of looking, where the familiar turns strange just long enough to reveal how deeply those expectations shape us.
