 Tilting the Basin: Contemporary Art of Nevada is co-curated by Nevada Museum of Art Curatorial Director and Curator of Contemporary Art JoAnne Northrup, and Las Vegas-based art advisor Michele Quinn. Tilting the Basin will travel to Las Vegas in 2017.

Long Form Press Release.
FIELD NOTES: Artists separated by landmass while sharing a state will have their works appear together in Tilting the Basin: Contemporary Art of Nevada beginning August 5 in Reno, Nevada. Billed as “the most accomplished work being created by more than thirty artists living and working across Nevada,” the selections will include painting, sculpture, installation, photography, interactive, and sound art. Programming will feature Galen Brown, Justin Favela, Katie Lewis, David Ryan, Brent Sommerhauser and Rachel Stiff.  Perhaps in 20 years this exhibition of contemporary artists responding to a range of impulses, from pop culture, environment, and identity politics, will be mounted as a retrospective of ambition curatorship.  For now, Tilting the Basin is Nevada Museum of Art's opening promise to shape the aesthetic identity of the state makes it a benchmark exhibition, even before it opens.

Interesting creativity in people! I think that in the future, all unusual creations will arouse the interest of the audience.
