Working with found objects, photographs, video, sound, and sculpture, the Ruhlman brothers construct an interactive world of hidden communication. (details) "Like a treasure hunt from an earlier life, I searched the strategically lighted space seeking answers in the maze of walls, a hanging tree, the living room sized projection animating one wall and the private windows begging me to peer inside the blue "reliquary" room. [Aerial] had an unyielding sense of deliberateness and purpose, a cathartic 'look into possession, loss and the attempt to overcome separation.'" - Ric Collier, Salt Lake Art Center Director |

| Macbeth
July 29 -August 1, 2004 “A British Pedigree and an edgy attitude... [Black Dog’s Macbeth] displays the intensity and passion inherent in Shakespeare but often missing from an overly respectful treatment... The production has more in common with Jerzy Grotowski's or Peter Brook's experiments in factories than with traditional American Shakespeare productions.

December 13 - 21, 2002 This exhibition of new work by Björn Shuster presents a provocative vision of the true face of our changing Western landscape. Shuster’s work mirrors conventions of traditional Western art, while looking directly into the new landscapes that are constantly encroaching. "Rather than focusing on the traditional open canyons, red buttes, cowboys and horses, Shuster looks at the new landscape encroaching. Vast networks of multi-lane freeways, overpasses replacing natural arches, these are the images that now define our experience of the west. Shuster's work is not of nostalgic scene's of the west but represent the present..." - 15 Bytes Magazine |

| Nuclear Free Great Basin Fundraiser August 19, 2002 “Our task, in our time and in our generation, is to hand down undiminished to those who come after us the natural wealth and beauty that we enjoy today.
