REIMAGINING PHOENIX By Robert Sentinery BUZZ This month we feature several individuals who are helping to reimagine the way we view our surroundings. Angela Ellsworth is an internationally known visual and performance artist. Her work has taken her across the globe, including stops at the Biennale of Sydney, Australia; the Getty Center in Los Angeles; and the National Review of Live Art (NRLA) in Glasgow, Scotland. Ellsworth had a major exhibition at the Phoenix Art Museum in 2011 and has had gallery representation in Phoenix, Tucson, Chicago and Melbourne to name a few. Ellsworth has recently embarked on her most ambitious project to date—the establishment of a museum. Co-founded with artist Steven Yazzie (whose busy schedule now limits him to the advisory board), this is not your typical brickand-mortar institution. The Museum of Walking (MoW) was conceived in a 120-sq.-ft. room on ASU’s main campus in Tempe. (They are currently looking for a permanent location in downtown Phoenix.) The museum’s mission is to be an educational resource committed to “the advancement of walking as an art practice.” MoW’s first major fundraiser will take place on March 18, and the hope is that 1,000 people (in groups of 20) will participate in a guided three-mile walk through the Rio Salado Habitat Restoration Area (see “Angela Ellsworth: Museum of Walking,” p. 8). Justin Katz has turned his childhood passion for watching cartoons into a lucrative creative enterprise called Flock of Pixels. Katz’s official job description is “motion design,” which essentially fuses graphic design with filmmaking. The result is the kind of animation one might see during the title sequence of a film. While motion designers have been around for a while, advances in computer technology and software have pushed the discipline forward in leaps and bounds. Katz has been fortunate to land some mega clients over the years, including Apple, American Express, Canon and Coca-Cola to name a few. Although much of his work falls into the category of advertising, Katz’s goal has always been to reduce the amount of “visual pollution” that bombards us. One of his proudest achievements was being asked to create the title sequence for the AIGA (American Institute of Graphic Arts) national conference in 2011, which signaled the pinnacle of his profession (see “Justin Katz: Curating Cool, Creating Good,” p. 12). Charles Darr had a bit of an existential crisis after graduating from ASU with a photography degree (not uncommon for new grads, but perhaps compounded for creatives). In order to offset this, Darr started calling up his artist friends and asking if he could come over to hang out and take some photos of them in their spaces. The result is a body of work called “Stars to Satellites” that features more than 60 portraits of the people that make up Phoenix’s creative core. The series is a document of a city on the move and the arts community that is directing it (see “Charles Darr: Seeing Artists in Their Environments,” p. 34).
