Three of the Phoenix-area's best known artists — Chris Jagmin, Safwat Saleem and Ann Morton — are currently joining forces at Modified Arts in downtown Phoenix.
It’s all part of a group show called "Tense" — a hint at the kind of personal and politically driven multimedia work they’ve put together for it.
The focus is the American dream and how each of these artists sees that elusive goal, filtered through particular histories, anxieties and hopes for the future.
For Chris Jagmin, the exhibition, which closes April 9, was a chance to learn about the queer history he largely took for granted until recent years and to allow his work to take on a political bent.
The Show's Lauren Gilger recently got a look at the show with Jagmin.
