From the museum: This body of new work by Eva Struble explores landscape altered by humans, and human infrastructure altered and adopted by plants: mutualism, or at turns, a collision. The dreamlike landscapes are rendered in strange hues, multiple textures and painting styles, remaking familiar landscapes into uncanny sites. The title, Midden, refers to a refuse heap, made by animals or humans. Rediscovered middens, like time capsules, can give clues about the habits or desires of a group. Struble takes inspiration from locations such as a theatre hidden in the woods of Topanga, CA, to the graffitied rainwater tunnels of Adobe Falls in San Diego, to oyster farms on the Olympic Peninsula, which the artist explored on foot over the past several years before creating this work. The exhibition can be viewed in the Joseph Clayes III Gallery and the Rotunda Gallery at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library (1008 Wall Street, La Jolla, CA 92037) during open hours, Tuesday through Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. About the artist: Eva Struble’s work has been shown at Wassaic Project in New York, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, Cleveland MOCA, Lombard Freid in New York, and Angles Gallery in Santa Monica, along with public projects at San Diego Airport, the New Children’s Museum, and the San Diego County Operations Center. Struble received a BA in visual arts from Brown University and an MFA from Yale University School of Art, and she is Professor of painting and printmaking at San Diego State University. Opening reception: An opening reception will be held from 6:30-8:30 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 13, 2023.

Join University of San Diego Professor Brittany Asaro for a stimulating discussion of "The Decameron" written in 1348 by Giovanni Boccaccio and set in Florence, Italy during the Black Death (1346-1353) which killed 75 to 200 million in Europe and Asia. In the book, ten young Florentines retreat into self-isolation for two weeks in the countryside and pass the time by telling stories, resulting in 100 stories. Many of the stories are amusing. Some are sad. None are about the plague. What does a 700-year-old book set during the deadliest pandemic recorded in human history have to say about the Covid-19 pandemic and the social upheavals it has brought about? Why does "The Decameron" resonate so powerfully during our own current moment in time? Click HERE to also attend the Book Launch of the San Diego Decameron Project Anthology on March 21.
