BIG IDEAS
2016 | 2017 PROJECTS IDAHO STORIES
Scott Fife
Oct 21, 2016–Jan 6, 2017 What are Idaho’s stories? Who has told them? How have contemporary artists and writers interpreted those stories? This BIG IDEA project considers Idaho’s literary history. Key figures are Ezra Pound, born in Hailey; author/illustrator Mary Hallock Foote, who lived in Boise; self-taught artist James Castle, based in Idaho all his life; Ernest Hemingway, who visited the state many times before ending his life in Ketchum; and Marilynne Robinson’s novel Housekeeping, set in northern Idaho.
Michael Salter
RAYGUNS, ROBOTS & DRONES: TECHNOLOGY’S PERIL AND PROMISE Jan 13–Mar 25, 2017
Can any technology ever exist solely for good? Science fiction authors have imagined worlds in which technology becomes a threat. But is this more than the stuff of fiction? This BIG IDEA project is an opportunity for a look at the role of technology in our real lives as well as our fictional fantasies. Using robots, drones and rayguns as metaphors for technological advances, the project examines the complex nature of technology’s inherent promise and its potential danger.
CONTEMPLATIVE PRACTICE Mar 31–Jun 23, 2017 Meg Hitchcock
What is the connection between art and contemplation? For centuries, artists have created religious objects meant to offer a contemplative or devotional experience. But how do art and contemplation intersect outside established religious traditions? This BIG IDEA project uses work by artists engaged with contemplative practices as the basis for a larger investigation of the role of meditation and mindfulness in our world today.
