In "Reencuentros: allá nos vemos/See you there," seven contemporary lens-based artists encounter time, home, (dis)placement, movement, stasis and becoming against the backdrop of the permeable US-Mexico border. Fedella Lizeth, Celeste Hernández, Jamil G. Baldwin, Aldo Cervantes, Elina Gonzalez, Alkaid Ramirez, and Raylene B. Olalde utilize photography and its intimacy to delve into the ubiquitous nature of family, home and land, examining the separations between people and place–how can home transcend the distinction between here and there? What does it mean to revisit what was once familiar? "Reencuentros: allá nos vemos/See you there" is organized by the SDSU Art Galleries. The exhibition is co-curated by William Camargo and Alexa Ramírez Posada. Programming is supported by the School of Art and Design, the Richard Anthony Marks Endowment and the College of Professional Studies and Fine Arts. SDSU Art Galleries on Instagram and Facebook

The Ilan-Lael Foundation is opening its doors wider than ever with newly expanded docent-led tours, now offered every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 10 a.m. Previously available only during limited seasonal windows, the tours – now running through the end of the year –provide more access into the imaginative world of the late artist James Hubbell. Set on 10 acres of oak woodlands near Julian, the Ilan-Lael compound features Hubbell’s hand-crafted living spaces, studios, galleries, and gardens, each built in harmony with nature and infused with his blend of art, architecture, and craft. While Hubbell’s work can be seen throughout Southern California and Baja, Ilan-Lael remains the most immersive place to experience his vision. “James believed art should live in harmony with nature, and Ilan-Lael is where that belief comes to life. By opening our doors more often, we’re honoring his vision and inviting more people to share in it,” shares Marianne Gerdes, Executive Director of the Ilan-Lael Foundation. “We invite everyone, whether long-time admirers or first-time visitors, to come see what makes Ilan-Lael so extraordinary. There is truly nothing else like it.” Tours last approximately 90 minutes and take small groups through gardens, sculptures, and architectural landmarks, offering intimate insight into Hubbell’s creative process. Each small-group experience concludes at the on-site gallery and gift shop featuring Hubbell art, books, and artisan goods. Tours are $90 per person and can be reserved up to two months in advance at ilanlaelfoundation.org. Reservations are required and availability may shift due to private events.
