From the museum: This exhibition continues an ongoing series of wearable sculptures constructed from various sauce packets collected from fast food chains, gas stations, and high school cafeterias. The current series of sauce-suits were modeled after outfits taken from the closets of close friends of the artist, hand-picked by both the artist and each friend. The outfits were then worn by each of the artist’s friends, who each performed mundane tasks in their own homes while wearing them, which was documented through photography. Evolving from an older series of self-portrait costumes tailored to specifically fit the artist, this new line of work investigates the roles of community and relationships in self-portraiture, while also drawing on the connection between consumerist culture and how we craft our individuality and personas through apparel and material. An exhibition celebration will take place March 18, 2023. About the artist: Ethan Chan is an artist working in sculpture, installation and performance art based in Los Angeles & San Diego, CA. Using off-kilter materials including Happy Meal® toys, bubble gum, and sauce packets, his work examines a love for all things kitsch, cookie-cutter, and plastic; and in its transformation, attempts to place itself at the intersection between globalism and Americana.

MCASD has partnered with Space Time, an organization that cultivates time-based art works, to produce a series of events that consider works on display while presenting rare artist videos and live performances and lectures. See works by two artists, Jacolby Satterwhite and Super Squirrel (Sarah Hankins), that incorporate found material to critique pop culture and imagine better worlds. This program is presented in partnership with Space Time and in conjunction with "Alexis Smith: The American Way." It takes place during Free Third Thursday in Jacobs Hall on January 19, from 5 p.m. –7 p.m. with performances at 5:30 and 6:30 p.m. Satterwhite’s video "Country Ball 1989-2012" (2012) fuses drawing, live performance and digital technology to translate and document personal mythology. Here the artist's sources are a home video of a family cookout and his mother's drawings. Hand-tracing the drawings and importing them into a 3D animation program, Satterwhite builds a lush, computer-generated landscape. Super Squirrel (Sarah Hankins) is a DJ, producer, ethnomusicologist, and electronic noisemaker. Working with samples, VSTs, and analog synths, she explores themes of psychopathology, the carnivalesque, horror, oddity, intimacy, and haunting. In live performance, she creates quasi-narratives by way of irrational pop/electronic/folk mashups, which are smeared with noise and paired with curious videos.
