We're in the final stretch of our summer campaign. Our goal is to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the journalism our community relies on. Reader support is helping shape the future of local news.
Most folks go to car shows just to see slick autos. Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art’s new “Car Culture” exhibit invites a deeper reflection on the whole fetishistic American automotive mess. Promo materials bill the show as “a look at the interrelationship of cars, people, and society,” a sentence that has all the jazz of a Sociology 101 thesis. The trick to enjoying the show? Ignore the culture-speak and enjoy the ride provided by 11 artists, including Robert Frank and Erin Wurm, who promise a surreal trip full of irony, surprise, and humor on the showroom floor.
