Mining for You: Clare Patey/Matthew Moore
Feb. 9-May 11
Clare Patey (London) and Matthew Moore (Phoenix) are collaborating on a project focusing on the endangered elements in the periodic table. Both artists have significant bodies of work exploring resilience and sustainability. From helium to tungsten, a number of the elements have limited quantities available for human use, and these quantities are getting smaller and smaller. Copper is a particular surprise to Arizonans as it plays a major role in the state's history and in the economic, environmental, social and cultural reality. Patey and Moore's exhibition will be a series of installations and events around the endangered elements and, specifically, copper.
