Closing reception: Sept. 10 in the evening during Barrio Art Crawl From the gallery: ONE is pleased to present Luminous Emergence by sculptor and mixed media artist May-ling Martinez. The center of the gallery space contains a released projector screen partly covered in methodically painted images arranged on the surface. Rock formations alongside cavern-like references to the body reveal entanglements materialized in image. Martinez weaves associations together from iconography found in How-To books designed to facilitate an understanding of our world. As an editor, Martinez uses these visual systems, as well as unoccupied space, to explore how this approach satisfies an innate need to understand and connect with our surroundings. May-ling Martinez was born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and currently lives and works in San Diego, California. She received an MFA from San Diego State University and BA in Communications and Visual Arts from San Juan’s Sacred Heart University. She has exhibited extensively in the San Diego regions and was a 2007-2008 recipient of the San Diego Art Prize in the Emerging Artist category. Related links: Quint Gallery on Instagram

Historian Kristi Hawthorne will present Histories and Mysteries: Legends of Sunken Treasure, a 1-hour program exploring the claims of Dr. Joseph J. Markey for two shows: Friday, July 21 at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, July 23 at 2:00 p.m. at OTC's Studio 219, 219 N. Coast Highway, downtown Oceanside. For over 30 years Dr. Joseph J. Markey spoke of Spanish gold buried in the hills of the San Luis Rey Valley for which only he had the map. Later Markey would claim that the Ship Trinidad carrying $10 million of gold sunk off the coast of Oceanside. He "discovered" numerous artifacts, including coins, skeletons and burials sites -- but what became of these discoveries? Is there gold waiting to be found? People want to believe, but what is the truth? Was it a hoax?
