Andrew Schoultz, In Process: Every Movement Counts

UNLV’s Barrick MuseumIf you happen to be busting a move at the Winchester Cultural Center’s newly arted-up skate park, you’ve gotten a taste of Schoultz’s complex work. For those unable to shred, this gallery show is a perfectly suitable alternate way to experience his energetic mixes of high and low, with references to both illuminated manuscripts and life on the streets, punctuated with fantastical touches — beasts, eyes. June 2-September 15 (reception at 5p, June 2), unlv.edu/barrickmuseum
