As global leaders continue to drop restrictions aimed at preventing the spread of COVID-19, all-too-familiar warning signs are emerging that point to the same uncomfortable reminder: this pandemic isn’t over yet. Plus, as Presiden Joe Biden directs more aids to Ukraine, more Ukrainian refugees are arriving at the US-Mexico border in hopes of making it into the United States. Meanwhile, welcome news for many sleep-deprived Americans, the Senate — in a rare display of bipartisanship — unanimously voted to make daylight saving time permanent. But many believe moving permanently to standard time — rather than daylight saving time — is a better solution. Also, the Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the first time in three years and that could mean a slow down of the San Diego housing market, but the cost to buy or rent here is still out of reach for many. And, new research shows that fear of racial discrimination weighs heavily in career decisions among some military service members of color. Finally, in part two of an ongoing series looking at the effect the pandemic has had on the local performing arts scene, we look at the state of live theater.

Just as the definition of bebop describes music of complex harmony and rhythms, the artists for "What Lives in the Space Between Points" are at times very complex in their perspectives of the world. While St. Celfer explores the microcosm and macrocosm (as above so below and as within so without) pondering what things might be eluding us in ways we have not considered, Luke Gumaelius' keen academic mind considers patterns in biological and cultural existence. In contrast, Robin and John Gumaelius utilize expert ceramicist skill to create fantastical creatures both biological and imaginary. The four artists meet in the realm of concept. What can't we hear? What can't we see? And what is our mind capable of imagining?

DISCO RIOT is a local innovative dance company, focused on collaborative, movement-based art. Throughout the past two years of the pandemic, Disco Riot has created some beautiful dance films and projects, like the "Move American" series of short films about voting issues, or "A Year of Distance." I also recently watched the company add choreography to contemporary artist Ana de Alvear's hyperrealistic drawings at the San Diego Museum of Art. Disco Riot returns to SDMA for a new SDMA+ project, reflecting on Cauleen Smith's contemporary video work — which is itself a work inspired by an early 1600s masterpiece in the museum's collection, Juan Sánchez Cotán’s "Still Life with Quince, Cabbage, Melon, and Cucumber." RELATED: A Not-So Still Life: Cauleen Smith At SDMA The short performances are free with museum admission, and take place in the museum's rotunda.
