Air Quality Art

New UMFA exhibit explores air from environmental, social justice, and cultural perspectives


Running through Dec. 11, the Utah Museum of Fine Arts’ Air features works by 16  artists, poets, engineers, and designers from around the globe and the Mountain West region. The exhibit includes three Utah-based artists whose work addresses the region’s unique relationship with air. Some of the works are objects made from, measuring, or meant to transform smog. Air features art that explores the impacts of uranium mining on air quality, works that project a vision for how humans might deal with environmental consequences in the future, and more.
