On View: April 2 through May 3 Humanities Center Gallery, Saints Tekakwitha and Serra Hall Joan Perlman is a multi-disciplinary artist who has exhibited widely and received numerous awards and fellowships for her work inspired by the volcanic landscape of Iceland. Her videos, paintings, and drawings consider the raw, convulsive beauty of this place while drawing attention to the perils of accompanying glacial melt. As the artist herself has noted, “The experience of observing nature over an extended period of time in this subpolar region of the earth reveals the troubling presence of climate change, which includes receding glaciers and warming temperature trends.” Perlman’s work both documents and resists the morphing terrains that compel her. Recent videos such as "Dispersion" (2015), "Break" (2014) and "What Remains" (2011), combine spectacular footage of moving ice and water with original soundtracks made in collaboration with a range of composers. As part of the ongoing Screenings series, the Humanities Center will debut Perlman’s most recent video project, "Sweep" (2024), for San Diego audiences. The gallery is open Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. For Information on Parking, visit here.
