Project [BLANK]’s annual exhibition returns to close the season with a festival of innovative local art and music. This year’s WORKING TITLE fills the soaring gothic halls of St. Paul’s Cathedral with bold visual art, multimedia installations, performance art, and live experimental music from a diverse group of transborder artists. This year, WORKING TITLE centers on the theme of Sanctuary. What defines a sacred or protected space? What boundaries—physical, social, spiritual—are drawn to offer refuge to those under threat? We invite artists to submit works that engage with sanctuary as a personal experience, a collective practice, an architectural condition, or a political act of resistance. At its center is the world premiere of a major new work by San Diego composer Michelle Lou—a mind-melting composition for voices, tubas, pipe organ, and electronics—surrounded by three days of new works, installations, and thought-provoking performances from some of the most exciting creative voices in Southern California, Tijuana, and Baja California. The exhibition is curated by sculptor Diana Benavídez and Artistic Director Leslie Ann Leytham, and artist submissions will be reviewed by a panel of artists: Alessandra Moctezuma, Alvaro Díaz, Cat Gunn, and Luisa Martínez.
