Presented as a multi-site exhibition in four locations around San Diego simultaneously, the exhibitions will examine the California works produced between the late 1960s and 2000s: Urban Ecologies, The Prophetic Works, Saving the West, and Future Gardens. Saving the West will allow visitors to delve deeply into the series of works associated with the Harrisons’ research on the fragile and environmentally threatened ecologies of the Pacific Coast fog forest and the Sierra Nevada mountains. Works reveal the Harrisons’ concept of the Force Majeure and their increasing concern with the issue of global climate change and related environmental degradation. "Helen & Newton Harrison: California Work" is organized and presented by the La Jolla Historical Society with partner venues California Center for the Arts Escondido, San Diego Central Library Judith Harris Art Gallery, and Mandeville Art Gallery at the University of California San Diego.
