Trouble in Paradise

AT THE TUCSON MUSEUM OF ART

By Showup.com
Now through June 28, experience Trouble in Paradise at Tucson Museum of Art. This exhibition examines a range of art in a variety of media that addresses extreme forces of nature in two basic categories: nature-based discord, such as lightning, tornadoes, volcanoes, hurricanes, and fire; and human-caused environmental discord such as pollution, over-population, global warming, oil field fires, atomic fallout, and destruction of land. The debate about how much of nature’s wrath is the result of human impact and interference is ongoing, but questions are posed through stunning visuals about the seemingly unstoppable cycle of cause and effect.

Opening July 11 in the Main Museum Galleries will be Arizona Biennial 09, which is considered to be the longest juried biennial in the state. Open to Arizona artists over 18 years of age, the exhibition is a much-anticipated opportunity for artists in the region to gain broad exposure for their work. This year, the exhibit will focus on the current aesthetic and conceptual concerns addressed by artists both regionally and globally.

The Tucson Museum of Art connects art to life, inspiring discovery, creativity, and cultural understanding through meaningful, engaging experiences. Visit and explore the museum Tuesday through Sunday this summer!
