"Script/Rescript" features the artwork of ten artists who use historical and contemporary medicalizing scripts of their own bodies to colorfully rescript – or rewrite – visual language attributed to individual conditions of disability. An X-ray, a prosthesis, a cane, a crutch, a pill, a wheelchair tire, or a syringe are the foundation in which to build new creative layers of empowered self-described embodiment. The work in this exhibition conveys disabled identity via new mapping, through-lines and mark-making, where the artists reject pathological archives by injecting them with memories, lived experiences, and sensorial attributes.

From the artist: “Sky To A Machine” is the original text I typed into the prompt of a visual AI tool just to see how it would render back images to me. The initial results were exciting and so I spent another hour refining the prompt with additional modifiers until I reached a composition I wanted to paint. Is AI a valid tool for use in exploring artistic expression as I just described or has it somehow corrupted my creativity? The AI debate regarding the art-making process has been very loud with artists posting "NO AI" across social media and lobbying platforms and galleries to remove AI-generated "works". One of the biggest concerns is that the use of AI in art may lead to a dehumanization of the creative process and the concept of “artist”. As an oil & acrylic painter, I do not feel that AI is a substitute for my human creativity. Instead, I find it to be a powerful tool that can be used to augment and enhance my creativity. By leveraging the power of machine learning algorithms to generate new source material, I have been able to create works of art in a more efficient manner than my previous tools of internet image searching and Photoshop editing. My painting process itself is not changed and during the evolution of transforming the source material into a painting my own interpretation ultimately becomes the final work produced. In this show, you will find experimental compositions from keywords such as "sky to a machine", "robot riot protests", "visual kei punk portraits", tyrannosaurus rex visual shock", and "walls Mexico border". All in the quest to tell stories about our modern condition as we navigate the digital age.

President Biden will not face charges after a year-long investigation into his handling of classified material, but he did not escape criticism.

From the organizers: A Reason to Survive and curator Carmela Prudencio present Images of Resistance: Then & Now. The exhibition focuses on photo documentation of Martial Law era activism and creates a timeline to present day National City. The work in this exhibition archives resistance across generations against the Marcos regime in the Philippines. With the Marcos family back in power, organizers overseas and in the diaspora continue fighting against oppressive systems as seen in this curation of photographs, video, and protest propaganda. Contained in the exhibit is Golden Years: Weighing Philippine Martial Law 1972-1981, a photo collection curated by Victor Baranuevo Velasco. The collection showcases 90 original vintage press photos that captured the presidency of Ferdinand Marcos Sr. from his rise to power in the mid-1960s to his ouster in the mid-1980s. Emphasis will be placed on the official period of martial law, 1972-1981. The photographs were taken by American and Filipino photojournalists, distributed by international agencies, and published in various U.S. newspapers. They were gathered from the archives of these papers through various auction sites. As early as the 1970s, Filipino Americans have protested in Kimball Park and other public places that reach and engage curious minds. To continue the legacy of Filipino resistance and support the struggle in the Philippines, San Diego’s working class Filipinos and youth continue to organize the local community to express their public outcry over corruption and the stifling of dissent through educational discussions, protests, and political and cultural art. The exhibition features photographs, media, and protest art from Martial Law in the Philippines and the burgeoning movement in the local diaspora (from then and now) to showcase the experiences, agitation, and resistance that culminated under the Marcos regime and how that struggle and legacy continues today.The curation serves as an appreciation of the histories and stories that survive through photographic media arts, and as an inspiration from the ongoing movements of Filipino resistance.
