From the gallery:TECHNE is proud to present "Afterburner", a group show curated by Chuck Thomas featuring artists Jon Elliott, Jack Henry, Robin Kang, Dave Kinsey, Jason Clay Lewis, John Oliver Lewis, Mônica Lóss, Jessica McCambly, Tim Murdoch, Sasha Koozel Reibstein, and Allison Renshaw. Like early test pilots testing the sound barrier of Mach 1, artists are constantly pushing into the unknown.Afterburner features artists that are pushing the limits of traditional and non-traditional materials in completely unexpected ways. The resulting transformations create surfaces where magic and science collide into whimsical and dazzlingly beautiful dioramas of seductively controlled chaos.In the studio, when you are at that place when it’s all coming apart is often when inspiration finally comes like a shock wave. We are all searching for that moment of recognition where all the noise fades away and you break that barrier.The exhibition examines the intellectual, philosophical, and scientific explorations that blur the boundaries between painting, installation, and sculpture. The primary focus of the show is the definition of art and the nature of these boundaries. In essence, the show advocates for an inclusive perspective that expands the limits of art, highlighting its boldest expressive virtues. The show delves into various limits, including those related to our senses and different perceptual modalities, the vagueness and fuzzy edges between different types of materials, and the level of human intention verses intervention in the artistic creative process.Contrary to popular belief, the process of creating art is not solely about freedom and boundless choices. Defining the parameters of artistic practice requires more time than simply making hasty decisions.In today's era, the internet and print media grant us access to the entire history of art, along with a vast amount of contemporary artwork. It can be overwhelming being influenced by the multitude of images that rapidly pass by as we scroll through social media.It may appear contradictory that an artists abilities flourishes from the very constraints they impose on themselves. The answer lies in the fact that by restricting subjects, colors, brushwork, and composition each of the artists in the show are able to create a unique vision and more authentic voice for their distinctive styles.- Jason Clay LewisRelated links:Techne Art Center: website | Instagram

Opening Reception: Saturday, March 9, 2024 from 5 p.m. - 7 p.mExhibition on view through Sunday, Aug. 4, 2024. Please check Gallery hours before visiting! "James Hubbell: Architecture of Jubilation" will be showing concurrently at the locations below:• Architecture of Jubilation - Central Library • A Mountain Home & Studios - Scripps Miramar Ranch Library • Pacific Rim Project - Mission Valley Library • Lado a Lado - Otay Mesa-Nestor Library In southern California, between the influences of San Diego, Tijuana and the Pacific; among mountains, manzanita, boulders and oaks, lives a man who builds a world he wants to live in - where the aesthetic is a reflection of nature - and philosophy and art are a way of life. Artist James Hubbell has a 70-plus-year career as a contemporary master who expresses himself through nature-inspired art, architecture and functional objects and spaces. Using stone and glass, paint and pen, wood and steel, his works are natural and unconfined. His human and nature-centric design places art in walls, roofs, floors, and furnishings, not separate from, but as extensions of life. In Hubbell’s world, the everyday is elevated to art, and art is for every day.Hubbell recognizes that it is our cities, buildings, structures - our treatment of our environment -that are perhaps our truest expressions of our views and values, our understanding of the ordering of the universe in which we live. Without great fanfare or financial reward, James Hubbell, the non-architect builder, personally led the design and construction of multiple architectural and fine art projects that accomplished meaningful social and educational transformation in Tijuana and San Diego. Architectural designer, sculptor, painter, stained-glass artist, community activist - James Hubbell is one of San Diego’s most prolific artists. His Architecture of Jubilation - is an invitation for all of us to create the world we want to live in.The Opening Reception will feature musician Pablo Dodero!

The FAIR Plan is California’s home insurance plan of last resort. But policies in San Diego County more than tripled in recent years, which mirrors a troubling statewide trend.

The Book Catapult welcomes author & filmmaker Bill Perrine in conversation with art curator Dave Hampton for Bill's new book, "Alien Territory: Radical, Experimental, & Irrelevant Music in 1970s San Diego" on Tuesday, July 18 at 7 p.m.From trailer park punks to Pulitzer Prize winners, this is the untold story of a sleepy Navy town that became the unlikely gathering point for some of the most innovative, unclassifiable American artists of their time. The late 60s arrival of Harry Partch — hobo composer, iconoclast and inventor of instruments such as the Harmonic Canon and Quadrangularis Reversum — jump started a revolution that was as much social as it was musical, drawing on the occult, self-realization and radical political movements of 70s Southern California.Artists such as Partch, Pauline Oliveros, Kenneth Gaburo, Roger Reynolds, Diamanda Galás, Warren Burt, David Dunn, Robert Turman and Master Wilburn Burchette may have pursued different paths — Sonic Meditations, compositional linguistics, microtonal scales, invented instruments, cutting edge electronics, underwater synthesizers, Tibetan throat singing, environmental sound, pure noise — but they also sought to dismantle the systems of American life and replace them with a radically inclusive and socially responsive aesthetic that looked to the future even when it sometimes referenced a distant, idyllically imagined past. In their pursuit of “Irrelevant Music” — Kenneth Gaburo’s term for an untainted music free of constraint and compromise — these disparate artists constitute a shadow history of American experimental music far removed from the European and East Coast models of the time.Event date:Tuesday, July 18, 2023 - 7:00pmEvent address:3010-B Juniper StreetSan Diego, CA 92104Related links: The Book Catapult on Instagram | Facebook

Robin Henkel and Horns make their debut at Golden Island Dim Sum & Asian Cuisine for the 164th show of Dim Sum & Jazz!Seating Begins at 6 p.m.Performance from 6:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.Call (858) 578-8800 for reservations!About Robin HenkelRobin Henkel performs blues with an intensity rarely seen in Southern California. Drawing from the styles of Robert Johnson, Fred McDowell and Elmore James, Robin has moulded his own intense and entertaining personal style. Robin’s performances often include stories and anecdotes regarding the history of the blues and the unique vintage instruments he performs with. He is a four time recipient of "Best Blues" at the San Diego Music Awards.Robin has opened shows for:BB King, Dizzy Gillespie, Bonnie Raitt, Dr. John, Jr. Wells, Jr. Walker, Roy Rogers, Arlo Guthrie, Hot Tuna, John McLaughlin, Todd Rundgren, Nichollette Larson, Warren Zevon, Steve Stills, Dave Mason, Harvey Mandel, Tim Weisberg, Don McLean, Charles Brown, John Mayall, David Lindley, Norton Buffalo, Livingston TaylorRobin has performed with:John Hammond, Eddie Kirkland, The San Diego Symphony, Lowell Fulson, Johnny Almond, Buddy Miles, Big Jay McNealy, Jimmy Witherspoon, Sha Na Na, Papa John Creach, Dirty Dozen Brass BandReviews:Robin Henkel is a futurist and a historian. -LA TimesHenkel is already playing a shuffle that is neither slow nor fast--a strut, and it is extremely seductive ...Henkel proceeds to play a fast jump progression, much like one of Robert Johnson's fiery paced songs. As with Johnson, it is hard to imagine, if you close your eyes, that there is only one guitarist at work. You can almost hear the scratches on the 78. -San Diego ReaderRobin's live shows are nothing short of inspirational. There is something genuinely raw, base and animalistic about his gut-wrenching, honest music.-360 Degrees - Robin Henkel promises nothing, if not a surprise here and there. This is just the way the San Diego native is. He wants to shake things up, so expect the unexpected. As a guitar player, Robin can play blues, jazz, funk, country swing, Hawaiian and Latin music. He borrows from each of those styles when he performs and sometimes even surprises himself with the musical direction his songs take."I like playing music", he says. It just feels good. Henkel's strength is when he picks up that sawed-off pipe fitting and puts it on his baby finger and then lays it on the strings of a resonator or Dobro.All of a sudden the awkward kid from Serra Mesa is transformed into the man in the corner at the Delta house party who commands everyones attention. When Robin plays slide guitar, he steels the show. You probably haven't seen anything like this for years and you may not see it again anytime soon. Though he leans toward playing jazz these days, he won Best Blues CD at the San Diego Music Awards (2000) for his "Highway" recording. "I don't quite know how I did that," he says "there's not much blues on it." To make amends, Henkel has vowed to record a blues album next. Maybe. -Mike Kinsmanhttps://robinhenkel.com/homehttps://www.facebook.com/robin.henkel.39https://www.instagram.com/robinhenkelblues/Want to know more events happening Golden Island?
