  • Phone: (480) 874-4666
  • Admission: $7 adults / $5 students / Free Children 15 and under / Free on Thursdays

Teens today communicate with technology that has shaped a new language. Text messaging and emailing encourage the abbreviations of words and phrases that are decipherable only to their own generation. Many contemporary artists also use text juxtaposed with visual imagery. Students from Central, Coronado, Marcos de Niza and McClintock high schools met with local and national artists through VISIONS, SMoCA's teen program.

  • Admission: Adults: $7, Students: $5, Children 15 and under: Free, Free on Thursdays

Part board game come to life, part art installation, this exhibition is infused with Phoenix based artist Sue Chenoweth's profound and uniquely creative way of seeing the world. Chenoweth simultaneously draws from concepts as diverse as The Game of Goose (a board game that dates back to Renaissance Italy) and the social practices of "spyhopping," which is a behavior where Gray whales thrust their bodies above the surface of the ocean to get a good look around. The installation will combine a new series of paintings by Chenoweth with a selection of works from SMoCA's permanent collection. This delightful and innovative approach to showcasing the Museum's permanent collection will transform the gallery into a world unto itself, a world in which artworks serve as windows into imaginative narrative possibilities.

SMoCA inaugurates the Architecture + Art series with an exhibition titled 90 Days Over 100° by Phoenix-based architects Atherton | Keener.

For their installation at SMoCA, Atherton | Keener will assemble a temporary orchestration of frozen water and channeled sunlight within the context of Museum space over the summer in Arizona, where the temperatures regularly exceed 100° for over 90 days. The installation will explore temporal and physical qualities inherent in material phase change from solid to liquid. The piece will transform over the course of each day.

The project aims to alert visitors to the relationship between water and electricity in this highly constructed desert environment.

  • Admission: $7 adults / $5 students / Free Children 15 and under / Free on Thursdays

Teens today communicate with technology that has shaped a new language. Text messaging and emailing encourage the abbreviations of words and phrases that are decipherable only to their own generation. Many contemporary artists also use text juxtaposed with visual imagery. Students from Central, Coronado, Marcos de Niza and McClintock high schools met with local and national artists through VISIONS, SMoCA's teen program. This exhibition is the result of ideas and conversations sparked by these monthly meetings.

Part board game come to life, part art installation, this exhibition is infused with Phoenix based artist Sue Chenoweth's profound and uniquely creative way of seeing the world. Chenoweth simultaneously draws from concepts as diverse as The Game of Goose (a board game that dates back to Renaissance Italy) and the social practices of "spyhopping," which is a behavior where Gray whales thrust their bodies above the surface of the ocean to get a good look around. The installation will combine a new series of paintings by Chenoweth with a selection of works from SMoCA's permanent collection. This delightful and innovative approach to showcasing the Museum's permanent collection will transform the gallery into a world unto itself, a world in which artworks serve as windows into imaginative narrative possibilities.

SMoCA inaugurates the Architecture + Art series with an exhibition titled 90 Days Over 100° by Phoenix-based architects Atherton | Keener.

For their installation at SMoCA, Atherton | Keener will assemble a temporary orchestration of frozen water and channeled sunlight within the context of Museum space over the summer in Arizona, where the temperatures regularly exceed 100° for over 90 days. The installation will explore temporal and physical qualities inherent in material phase change from solid to liquid. The piece will transform over the course of each day.

The project aims to alert visitors to the relationship between water and electricity in this highly constructed desert environment.

  • Phone: (480) 874-4666
  • Admission: $7 adults / $5 students / Free Children 15 and under / Free on Thursdays

Teens today communicate with technology that has shaped a new language. Text messaging and emailing encourage the abbreviations of words and phrases that are decipherable only to their own generation. Many contemporary artists also use text juxtaposed with visual imagery. Students from Central, Coronado, Marcos de Niza and McClintock high schools met with local and national artists through VISIONS, SMoCA's teen program. This exhibition is the result of ideas and conversations sparked by these monthly meetings.

  • Admission: Adults: $7, Students: $5, Children 15 and under: Free, Free on Thursdays

Part board game come to life, part art installation, this exhibition is infused with Phoenix based artist Sue Chenoweth's profound and uniquely creative way of seeing the world. Chenoweth simultaneously draws from concepts as diverse as The Game of Goose (a board game that dates back to Renaissance Italy) and the social practices of "spyhopping," which is a behavior where Gray whales thrust their bodies above the surface of the ocean to get a good look around. The installation will combine a new series of paintings by Chenoweth with a selection of works from SMoCA's permanent collection. This delightful and innovative approach to showcasing the Museum's permanent collection will transform the gallery into a world unto itself, a world in which artworks serve as windows into imaginative narrative possibilities.

In keeping with the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art's mission to champion innovation in contemporary art, architecture and design, SMoCA launches a new series this summer: Architecture + Art. This new programmatic series will invite architects to create site specific installations in SMoCA and the specific environmental context of Scottsdale, Arizona in order to push forward the practice of architects working in the art museum setting. SMoCA inaugurates the Architecture + Art series with an exhibition titled 90 Days Over 100° by Phoenix-based architects Atherton | Keener.

For their installation at SMoCA, Atherton | Keener will assemble a temporary orchestration of frozen water and channeled sunlight within the context of Museum space over the summer in Arizona, where the temperatures regularly exceed 100° for over 90 days. The installation will explore temporal and physical qualities inherent in material phase change from solid to liquid. The piece will transform over the course of each day. Light intensity and color will evolve as water melts, drips and collects. The project aims to alert visitors to the relationship between water and electricity in this highly constructed desert environment.

Many contemporary artists also use text juxtaposed with visual imagery.

Part board game come to life, part art installation, this exhibition is infused with Phoenix based artist Sue Chenoweth's profound and uniquely creative way of seeing the world. Chenoweth simultaneously draws from concepts as diverse as The Game of Goose (a board game that dates back to Renaissance Italy) and the social practices of "spyhopping," which is a behavior where Gray whales thrust their bodies above the surface of the ocean to get a good look around. The installation will combine a new series of paintings by Chenoweth with a selection of works from SMoCA's permanent collection. This delightful and innovative approach to showcasing the Museum's permanent collection will transform the gallery into a world unto itself, a world in which artworks serve as windows into imaginative narrative possibilities.

SMoCA inaugurates the Architecture + Art series with an exhibition titled 90 Days Over 100° by Phoenix-based architects Atherton | Keener.

For their installation at SMoCA, Atherton | Keener will assemble a temporary orchestration of frozen water and channeled sunlight within the context of Museum space over the summer in Arizona, where the temperatures regularly exceed 100° for over 90 days. The installation will explore temporal and physical qualities inherent in material phase change from solid to liquid. The piece will transform over the course of each day.

The project aims to alert visitors to the relationship between water and electricity in this highly constructed desert environment.

Teens today communicate with technology that has shaped a new language. Text messaging and emailing encourage the abbreviations of words and phrases that are decipherable only to their own generation. Many contemporary artists also use text juxtaposed with visual imagery. Students from Central, Coronado, Marcos de Niza and McClintock high schools met with local and national artists through VISIONS, SMoCA's teen program. This exhibition is the result of ideas and conversations sparked by these monthly meetings.

Part board game come to life, part art installation, this exhibition is infused with Phoenix based artist Sue Chenoweth's profound and uniquely creative way of seeing the world. Chenoweth simultaneously draws from concepts as diverse as The Game of Goose (a board game that dates back to Renaissance Italy) and the social practices of "spyhopping," which is a behavior where Gray whales thrust their bodies above the surface of the ocean to get a good look around. The installation will combine a new series of paintings by Chenoweth with a selection of works from SMoCA's permanent collection. This delightful and innovative approach to showcasing the Museum's permanent collection will transform the gallery into a world unto itself, a world in which artworks serve as windows into imaginative narrative possibilities.

In keeping with the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art's mission to champion innovation in contemporary art, architecture and design, SMoCA launches a new series this summer: Architecture + Art. This new programmatic series will invite architects to create site specific installations in SMoCA and the specific environmental context of Scottsdale, Arizona in order to push forward the practice of architects working in the art museum setting. SMoCA inaugurates the Architecture + Art series with an exhibition titled 90 Days Over 100° by Phoenix-based architects Atherton | Keener.

For their installation at SMoCA, Atherton | Keener will assemble a temporary orchestration of frozen water and channeled sunlight within the context of Museum space over the summer in Arizona, where the temperatures regularly exceed 100° for over 90 days. The installation will explore temporal and physical qualities inherent in material phase change from solid to liquid. The piece will transform over the course of each day. Light intensity and color will evolve as water melts, drips and collects. The project aims to alert visitors to the relationship between water and electricity in this highly constructed desert environment.

  • Admission: Adults: $7, Students: $5, Children 15 and under: Free, Free on Thursdays

Part board game come to life, part art installation, this exhibition is infused with Phoenix based artist Sue Chenoweth's profound and uniquely creative way of seeing the world. Chenoweth simultaneously draws from concepts as diverse as The Game of Goose (a board game that dates back to Renaissance Italy) and the social practices of "spyhopping," which is a behavior where Gray whales thrust their bodies above the surface of the ocean to get a good look around.

In keeping with the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art's mission to champion innovation in contemporary art, architecture and design, SMoCA launches a new series this summer: Architecture + Art. This new programmatic series will invite architects to create site specific installations in SMoCA and the specific environmental context of Scottsdale, Arizona in order to push forward the practice of architects working in the art museum setting. SMoCA inaugurates the Architecture + Art series with an exhibition titled 90 Days Over 100° by Phoenix-based architects Atherton | Keener.

For their installation at SMoCA, Atherton | Keener will assemble a temporary orchestration of frozen water and channeled sunlight within the context of Museum space over the summer in Arizona, where the temperatures regularly exceed 100° for over 90 days. The installation will explore temporal and physical qualities inherent in material phase change from solid to liquid. The piece will transform over the course of each day. Light intensity and color will evolve as water melts, drips and collects. The project aims to alert visitors to the relationship between water and electricity in this highly constructed desert environment.

Experience artworks from the last one hundred years that both reinforce and challenge the mythology of the American West. Grapple with competing histories of the West that alternate between representing the landscape as a romanticized Eden to critically examining issues like urban sprawl, environmental hazards facing the modern West. Enjoy artworks like Lon Megargee's sincere American Impressionist landscapes of the 1920s and survey Matthew Moore's 2008 critical video portrait of water's journey through our Valley. The exhibition, which acts as an archaeology of SMoCA's collecting history, will shed light on the values underscored by "the West's Most Western Town."
