Robert Fontenot: the Place This Is May 24, 2011

Robert Fontenot's exhibition, The Place This Is, addresses notions of place, history and perception in this mixed media exhibition that includes bread dough renderings of over 100 iconic Utah landmarks and icons; watercolor portraits of Utah politicians and culturati; and text pieces from voices in American history. Fontenot's beautifully crafted artworks fuse beauty and cynicism to question how and what becomes memorialized to hold a place culture and history.
