Experience the use of a wide array of items in engaging experiments to experience sound in a whole new way. Hear that this show is simply too loud to try at home! Educators also will get a chance to connect with each other as well as members of the Fleet education department about resources, offerings and special events that can make their classroom and school activities even more engaging. Educators are welcome to bring up to two guests, including children. Light refreshments will be served. The Fleet Science Center’s myriad education offerings are just one more way the Fleet fulfills its mission of connecting everyone in San Diego to the power of science.

Belly up & Crssd present Stavroz and DJ TA. Hailing from the land of compromise in the heart of Europe, the four friends of Stavroz found each other in the east of Flanders. In its inception, IJsbrand De Wilde & Gert Beazar focussed mainly on playing DJ sets and creating music in which they loved colliding worlds. Only a few years later they hooked up with Maxim Helincks & Pieter De Meester to expand their DJ activities to a performing band and continued to try and find an unbeaten path in electronic music. This culminated in their delicately acoustic, organic and cinematic approach to electronic music. As a result they were awarded second place for "best producer" and "best breakthrough artist" in national awards for Belgium's electronic music scene.

Sasha Koozel Reibstein’s ceramic sculpture gives form to the mysterious and often chaotic processes of creation. Reibstein recognizes the parallels between the intense collisions of heat, energy, and pressure that ultimately form galaxies, living organisms, as well as ceramic objects, and illuminates the transformative potential of such extraordinary occurrences. For her exhibition at ICA San Diego, Reibstien will present her largest works to date, the results of residences at San Diego State University and Cal State University Long Beach completed earlier this year. “The End is Near the Beginning,” which takes its title from the largest work in the show, will be Reibstein’s first solo museum exhibition in San Diego. Reibstein’s ceramic sculptures are fundamentally rooted in transformation—of the body, mind, universe, and clay itself. They are the products of expertly negotiated dichotomies: earth and space; light and darkness; life and loss; body and mind; control and chaos. “The End is Near the Beginning,” offers a meditation on the ICA’s ongoing exploration of consumption, inviting us to consider the multiple definitions of the word. “To consume” can mean both to nourish and destroy; we can consume–or be consumed–emotionally or physically. The ceramic process itself is one of transformation via consumption by fire, a process that resonates with a central theme of this exhibition: the intimate connection between life and death, and the generative potential that accompanies destruction. Though grounded in mortality, in Reibstein’s work, the cyclical nature of life offers opportunities for growth, renewal, and deep connection across time. Learn more here.
