On Friday, January 7the FOUND:RE Phoenix Hotel proudly unveils its new poolside art installation by Joan Waters. In conjunction with Downtown Phoenix’ First Friday ArtWalk, the reception takes place from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Guests can enjoy the grand opening unveiling of the installation featuring four wall sculptures, which Waters welded and plasma-cut in her Tempe studio. Titled “See–Hear–Sing–Fly” from her Urban Primitives series, Waters uses discarded satellite dishes that have been repurposed and transformed into masks, pulsing with new life. The installation even “lights up the night” with the help of hidden LED lights. Waters has been collecting discarded satellite dishes over the years and says she sees them as “metal treasure hiding in plain sight.” To her, the “urban primitive” masks in this installation convey a deep essence of transformation through the artifacts of society’s technology.
“See–Hear–Sing–Fly” will be on display for one year and available for sale. During the reception, guests can also view FOUND:RE Contemporary’s current exhibitions — “FOCAL POINTS: Minimal VS Maximal” and “MORE IS MORE: A Maximalism Exhibition” — throughout the ground floor of the hotel and in the FOUND:RE studio space across from the hotel pool.
