Salt Lake City Public Art Walking Tour UMO A C Salt Lake City Public Art Walking Tour UMO Intro Salt Lake is lucky to enjoy several fascinating pieces of art available in public! Use this guide to explore the city and discuss interesting contemporary themes with a date, friends, or family. The tour should take you about an hour. Let us know— did you see something new? Stop 1 Point of View, Aaron T. Stephan 100 S. West Temple Just a few steps down the street from our mu- seum is Aaron T. Stephan’s installation sculpture, “Point of View”. Known as “You Are Here” to many locals, the sign sits at the entrance to the Salt Palace Convention Center. This whimsical installation changes depending on the position of the viewer. From the side, 150 white road signs display short phrases in a cacophony of contradicting words. But when looked at from precisely the right angle, the signs come together to form a massive red logo “SLC Pepper Mural” by Jann Haworth. Photo: Braden Latimer that reads “You Are Here”, pointing to the bright red bench at the front of the piece. The Salt Lake County Center for the Arts explains that, Stop 2 “like other cities that have iconic artwork... this new installation beckons people to sit down “SLC Pepper Mural” by Jann Haworth and be a part of the art.” As you view the piece, 250 South 400 West ponder the contradictory phrases that come Some viewers may immediately feel a sense of together in a cohesive form, allowing space for familiarity about this piece, and savvy harmony and acceptance within contradiction. audiences may even recognize its And don’t forget to take a picture on the red resemblance to the iconic album cover for “Sgt. bench! Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”. In fact, one of the original designers of the album, British artist Jann Haworth, created this mural for Salt Lake City as an homage to the original. Fifty feet by thirty feet, the mural represents a much more diverse crowd, consciously including significant women and people of color. More than 100 people are recognizable in this mural, including artists, musicians, authors, activists, athletes, and even fictional characters. How many can you recognize? If you were the artist, who would you add? Point of View, Aaron T. Stephan. Photo: Jim Urquhart A C Salt Lake City Public Art Walking Tour UMO Stop 3 “Flying Objects” 50 W. 300 South to 350 W. 300 South The “Flying Objects” public art project was started in 2005, when downtown Salt Lake was under significant reconstruction. Local artists were invited to create pieces that would bring “color, shape, interest, whimsy, and vitality” to the new dowtown. Along 300 South, eighteen artists have produced vibrant sculptures that dot the walkway from 50 West to 350 West. Keep an eye out for the whirling stream of red paint flung by a paintbrush in Greg Ragland’s ode to creativity on “The Book Wall Mural,” Paul Heath 150 West and 300 South. Search for eyes, ears, and hands in Soonju Kwon’s nearby sculpture of Stop 4 two superimposed figures in a line-art style. In the words of the artist, these two figures represent “The Book Wall Mural” “the moment of freedom from anyone’s 222 S. Main Street, behind Eborn Books judgement, even from ourselves.” And don’t miss Whether you’re a dedicated bibliophile or a lucky the light-hearted pair of brightly-painted birds in downtown wanderer, the Book Wall mural tucked “Drinking It In” on 250 West and 300 South, away in a small courtyard alley is a delightful find for encouraging viewers to “drink in” the art scene locals and visitors alike. Local artist Paul Heath and sociality of the Broadway District downtown. painted the mural and chose to illustrate book covers from rare, classic, or collectible editions of the works. How many of the twenty-three colorful classic novels have you read? Titles like The Wizard of Oz, The Grapes of Wrath, and Harry Potter are sure to get you in an imaginative (or photogenic) mood! Expression, Greg Ragland. Photo: Logan Sorenson Stop 5 Asteroid Landing Softly by Kazuo Matsubayashi 200 S. Main Street Inspired by Southern Utah’s rock formations, this piece is the artist’s take on a modern Utah sundial. Building on the European tradition of clock towers in town plazas, this piece acts as a landmark of the city and a carrier of traditions both old and new. The sculpture is a fully-functioning sundial, with one twist. Instead of casting shadows, it is sunlight that indicates the time--rays of sunshine slip through the tower’s calculated slits and onto the plaza ground below. The central pillar also resembles the Chinese and Japanese character for “person”. Also marked on the plaza are the months of the year, the winter and summer solstice, and the spring and autumn equinoxes. You may notice the time on the sundial A Path Forward, Jason Manley and Kelsey Harrison doesn’t always match the time on your watch. This piece explores the gap between natural and man- made conventions of time. The sundial runs on “natural time”, which determines “noon” as the moment the sun Stop 6 (Optional; adds 30 minutes) crosses true south, and is different from A Path Forward by Jason Manley and Kelsey Harrison our system of 300 N. State St, Council Hall Bldg timekeeping. The For those willing to take a slightly longer walk, this artist hopes that his piece sits atop Capitol Hill as a testament to women’s sundial will “trigger suffrage in Utah. Flanking the front steps of the the observer’s mind Capitol Building, “A Path Forward” celebrates two to the basic scientific impressive anniversaries: the 100th anniversary of curiosity and artistic women’s right to vote in the United States and the imagination... and 150th anniversary of the first ballot cast by a woman to wonder about the in Utah. In fact, the sculpture stands on the same site mystery of natural where the first woman in Utah cast her vote. Made forces. Or perhaps of bronze, steel, and concrete, the piece stands as simply kill time by an immovable reminder of history and is comprised standing in front of of early suffragette quotes. One of the artists, Jason it.” Manley, stated that “by paying tribute to these voting rights pioneers, we hope this will be a site for inspira- tion and congregation and to motivate voter turnout.” Along with celebrating this centennial, educate yourself on the challenges minorities faced and still face in voting access.

  • The State of Mormon Literature and Criticism
    The State of Mormon Literature and Criticism Gideon Burton and Neal Kramer Gideon Burton and Neal Kramer both serve on the board of the Association for Mormon Letters. In consultation with Dialogue's editors, they have chosen and edited the selections for this issue. Two DECADES HAVE PASSED SINCE Dialogue last published an issue entirely devoted to Mormon literature. In the meantime literary writing about Latter-day Saints has been burgeoning both in LDS and national mar- kets—so much so that it is difficult for literary critics to keep up with this growing body of novels, plays, poetry, and literary nonfiction. It is very important, however, that they try. To have a sense of the future of Mor- mon literature, it is vital that we see how present writings articulate with traditions from the past. Producing literary criticism to do just that is the central function of the Association for Mormon Letters, whose goal is to serve authors, scholars, and general readers of Mormon literature. In our yearly confer- ence, through readings, book reviews, a very active e-mail list, and now an annual writers' workshop and a small quarterly literary magazine, Ir- reantum, we attempt to introduce people to Mormon literature past and present and to critically evaluate it. In this issue of Dialogue, we share with a broader public some of the best criticism that has been generated at our conferences and published in the annuals of the Association, as well as a sampling of new creative works from active writers. As editors we have found our task different from the one faced by editors of Dialogue's prior literary issues because the object of our study has been evolving, as have our means of literary analysis.

    “The Testimony of Men” William E. McLellin and the Book of Mormon Witnesses Mitchell K. Schaefer recently discovered circa 1871 manuscript written by William A McLellin, an early Mormon Apostle and, later, apostate, includes a passage that narrates how, in 1833, he engaged two of the three and one of the eight witnesses of the Book of Mormon about the nature of their experiences as witnesses. The testimonies of the witnesses printed in each copy of the Book of Mormon are some of the most compelling evidence in favor of its miraculous revelation and translation. For believers, this evidence approaches proof of Joseph Smith’s miraculous claims. But some have questioned the nature of the testimonies and made a strong coun- terargument that what the witnesses experienced was solely supernatural and not, therefore, credible. The witnesses, this argument asserts, only experienced the plates via an unverifiable subjective experience, rendering their statements void. Historians have generally adopted one of two interpretations of the historical record by and about the Book of Mormon witnesses. Historians who believe the statements of the witnesses as credible usually focus fore- most on the original testimonies published in the Book of Mormon and on the witnesses’ fidelity to their statements despite dissent and disaffection by many of them from the Church itself. The leading historian espousing this interpretation of the evidence is Richard Lloyd Anderson. In his work Investigating the Book of Mormon Witnesses, Anderson holds that despite the fact that the witnesses left the Church at one point or another, they never denied their testimonies of the events that solidified their belief in BYU Studies 50, no.

  • One of the Great Strengths of the Church of Jesus Christ Of
    A Firm Foundation David J. Whittaker 28 Mormon Administrative and Organizational History: A Source Essay ne of the great strengths of The Church of Jesus Christ of O Latter-day Saints is its institutional vitality. Expanding from six members in 1830 to fourteen million in 2010, its capacity to govern and manage an ever-enlarging membership with a bureaucracy flexible enough to provide for communication and growth but tight enough to ensure control and stability is an important but little-known story. The essential functions of the Church were doctrinally mandated from its earliest years, and the commands to keep records have assured that accounts of its activities have been maintained. Such historical records created the essential informational basis necessary to run the institu- tion. These records range from membership to financial to the institu- tional records of the various units of the Church, from the First Presi- dency to branches in the mission field. David J. Whittaker is the curator of Western and Mormon Manuscripts, L. Tom Perry Special Collections, Harold B. Lee Library, and associate professor of history at Brigham Young University. A Firm Foundation The study of Latter-day Saint ecclesiology has been a challenge until recently. As yet, the best studies remain in scholarly monographs, often unknown or unavailable. It is the purpose of this essay to highlight this emerging literature by complementing the essays assembled in this volume.
