Sungyun Kim: The Evolving Machine at Coconino Arts Center
January 18 – March 22, 2025 in the Project Gallery
Machines evolve in myriad ways, shaped by their surroundings and by the people who engage with them. As they adapt in appearance, form, and function, these mechanical entities transcend their status as mere objects, emerging as vibrant agents interacting with the world around them. In The Evolving Machine, Sungyun Kim brings together an array of video works and kinetic sculptures that highlight this evolving relationship between machines, media environments, and human intervention. By re-examining how a single object—initially a cohesive whole—can transform into multiple iterations, the exhibition illuminates the hidden values and unexpected possibilities that arise when machines become active participants in our shared environment.

Farraday Newsome at Mesa Art Museum
Ongoing through March 16, 2025
Mesa Arts Center, One East Main St, Mesa, AZ 85201
This exhibition showcases a new collection of ceramic works created between 2020 and 2024 which reflects her deep interest in the intelligent, lush beauty of nature and its brilliantly creative strategies for propagation. Frequently exploring personal metaphoric associations and emotional reactions to being female in a biological world, it is important to the artist that this work not be overly anthropocentric; wanting to take fertility and nurturing beyond the experience of human reproduction to that of nature itself as an infinitely beautiful, self-perpetuating living system..
