From the museum: A powerful new installation by Justin Sterling (b. 1992, Houston, Texas) will immerse visitors in a beautiful space constructed of unconventional materials and provoking contemplation of the role of bad faith in society. "Chapel of the Rocks" is an approximately 1000-square-foot structure, suffused with light refracted through numerous stained-glass windows, which the artist has shattered with rocks and then rebuilt in new ways. The windows, as well as other features such as the fire hydrant “gargoyles” on the chapel’s exterior, were salvaged from the streets of New York City, where Sterling now makes his home, and evoke New York’s “broken windows” policing measures of the 1990s and other policies that he describes as exemplifying the concept of bad faith. Another inspiration for this work is the Rothko Chapel in Sterling’s native Houston, a multicultural, interfaith spiritual space filled with large paintings by Mark Rothko. In keeping with that inclusive spirit, Chapel of the Rocks will share its gallery space with works from different spiritual traditions represented in the Museum’s permanent collection. Funding for this exhibition is made possible by a bequest from Dr. Janet Brody Esser, the City of San Diego Commission for Arts and Culture, and the members of The San Diego Museum of Art.

Starting Thursday, Jan. 26, indigenous experiences stream to the palm of your hand with “Beyond the Metaverse with OurWorlds: Indigenous Stories are All Around You,” an exhibition at the UC San Diego Qualcomm Institute (QI) in Atkinson Hall. “OurWorlds” is an educational extended-reality platform and mobile application designed to integrate Native American heritage and knowledge with everyday environments. As users navigate their landscapes, the app uses geolocation, 360º video capture and artificial intelligence to superimpose written and spoken Native language, artifacts and site-specific historical imagery over the modern world. At Gallery QI, “Beyond the Metaverse with OurWorlds” will share woven basket art and maritime craftsmanship from the Kumeyaay peoples, whose historical territory encompasses San Diego County. Using a series of narrative moving-image scenes, including the making and use of traditional tule boats, or ha kwaiyo, the exhibition creators — Lattin, Eng, Stanley Rodriguez of the Iipay Nation of Santa Ysabel and Ana Gloria Rodriguez of the San Jose de la Zorra Kumeyaay — create space and a future for local Indigenous voices at UC San Diego. “Beyond the Metaverse with OurWorlds” will be on display in Gallery QI, Monday to Friday, from Noon to 5 p.m. through Friday, March 17, 2023. Gallery QI will host a closing night ceremony and panel discussion with local tribal leaders and exhibit creators on Thursday, March 16 at 5 p.m. All Gallery QI events are free and open to the public. Gallery QI on Facebook / Instagram Directions and parking: The Qualcomm Institute is located in Atkinson Hall on the UC San Diego campus at the corner of Voigt Drive and Equality Lane.
