Note: this exhibition is viewable from the sidewalk on 25th St. From San Diego Weekend Events (KPBS arts preview): Mortis Studio was founded in 2016 by Taylor Johnson and Dustyn Peterman as an art, animation, video and graphic design creative agency. They're opening a new studio in Golden Hill this week, with an art exhibition to kick things off. "Soft" is a collection of works by local textile artist Denja Harris of Brown Acid Goods, and it'll be on view beginning Friday through Jan. 16, 2022. I love the way Harris plays with colors and shapes in her thick, rug-like tufted fiber works, and the patterns feel just as vintage as they do modern and surprising. The opening reception is Friday, with food and drink from the popular TNT Pizza. —Julia Dixon Evans, KPBS From the organizers: Mortis Studio is pleased to present SOFT, the debut solo exhibition by Denja Harris. Opening reception: Friday, Dec. 3, 2021, 6 - 9 p.m. Food and drinks will be provided by @tntsdpizza. Exhibition dates will run through January 16th. Denja Harris is a textile artist based out of San Diego, CA. Her work explores experimental functional art with an emphasis in nostalgia, color, shapes, and texture. Each piece reflects work that is never duplicated, revealing how function and design can be combined to enhance a space. The inaugural show also marks the official opening of MORTIS STUDIO’S new office in Golden Hill. MORTIS STUDIO. 1038 25th St, San Diego, CA 92102

Sparks Gallery’s programming in 2022 will explore the theme and concept of “perspective” from exhibited and represented artists at the gallery. Following a history of strong sales and diverse subject matter, Russian-born artist Alexander Arshansky leads the programming for 2022 with new work exemplifying his artistic style, while exploring shifting perspectives in Silent Witness. Alexander Arshansky revels in the concept of personifying his art, in that it serves as an observer. As a “witness” who silently experiences multiple lives and homes, the art is handed down through generations. We may draw parallels to other common “witnesses” in our lives, such as toys, cars, clothes, jewelry, vases, or even people, such as taxi drivers or postal workers. In observing those who are typically the observer, we are briefly allowed a change of perspective, if only to understand others better. Arshansky’s works will be on view at Sparks Gallery from January 16 through March 13. We invite you to join us in the gallery on Sunday, January 16 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. for the opening reception. Please RSVP here! For more information, please visit sparksgallery.com/product-category/gallery-exhibitions/silent-witness or call (619) 696-1416.

SPECTRA is DISCO RIOT's spring show sharing stories of personal histories and cultures, magic, play and dreams featuring new works by DISCO RIOT company artists Marty Dorado, Zaquia Mahler Salinas, Chelsea Zeffiro, and guest artist Anna Brown Massey with company dancers Lauren Christie, Nicole Oga, Sol dela Rosa, and Odessa Uno Admission to this show is by donation ($12 per ticket for artists/students and $25 per ticket for general public suggested). Please reserve your seat in advance as tickets will not be available at the door. **Masks are required for all audience members.** About the Program: "Girldream" (1996) by Chelsea Zeffiro is a series of danced vignettes rooted in sensorial explorations of wish, play, and dream. The dance is the culmination of a task-based and improvisatory process with the DISCO RIOT company dancers. This work is accompanied by a digital mixtape which she has assembled during our process and which serves as a dedication to the performers. Marty Dorado is excited to present a new dance work in honor of his 10 year anniversary of moving to San Diego. His piece highlights the stories of four characters who use their past experiences to inspire their future paths in life. A dance of survival, friendship, and transformation, Hourglass Alchemy by Zaquia Mahler Salinas explores the questions: what are our inherited traumas, inherited triumphs, and inherited magic? The duet, performed with Chelsea Zeffiro, is dedicated to Desiree Cuizon. Anna Brown Massey’s newest work brings joyful, riotous fun to this Scottish fever dream of a dance. Massey highlights DISCO RIOT’s gift for musical virtuosity and explosive power to celebrate kinship and determination. Come for the art, stay for the party! Visit Disco Riot on Facebook+ Instagram
