Curator Gallery Walk-Through for The Shape of Color, the Weight of Light. San Diego Mesa College Art Gallery hosts this exhibition of pictorial and sculptural investigations on color, light and texture, featuring recent artworks by San Diego-based artists Christian Garcia-Olivo, Kaori Fukuyama and Melissa Walter. The advent of Modernism inspired artists to explore abstraction and in the 20th century painters were motivated to pursue explorations with a variety of media in order to capture both the material and the immaterial. Jackson Pollock’s drip paintings, physically vigorous in form and action, can be contrasted with the ethereal rigor of perceptual light works by the Southern California Light and Space movement of the 60s and 70s; and to the interest on phenomenology of some conceptual art. The three artists whose works are assembled together in The Weight of Color, The Shape of Light, delve into these legacies; there’s a push and pull of the picture plane, a celebration of both organic and synthetic pigments while surface and materials are manipulated in novel and unexpected ways. Hear from Alessandra Moctezuma, curator and gallery director. SD Mesa College: Facebook Instagram

The exhibition This Is Our Story features works by self-taught artists from various parts of the United States, with different levels of education and ethnic/cultural backgrounds. What all the artists have in common is that none of them practiced their creativity in the context of the academic art world. Instead, they created their work for personal use or for their families, for self-expression, self-representation and to participate in the joy of making. Each work of art is deeply personal and invites us to connect to another human being and contemplate another’s story. The word vernacular describes something created or used by ordinary people in a particular region – language, architecture and art can all be vernacular. There are many other terms used to describe the arts of ordinary people – folk, self-taught, visionary and outsider, to name a few. Artists include A.J. Boudreaux, Jon Bok, Rosie Lee Light, David Butler and many more. On view July 23, 2022 through Feb. 26, 2023. Curated by Emily Hanna.

This series of three 3-hour workshops (taken alone or together) is designed to awaken your connection with nature as a source of inspiration, creativity, and belonging. You may purchase one session individually or all three for a discount. All workshops will be held outside, weather permitting. We will meet at Inspirations Gallery and will walk together to an outdoor area to write. Be ready for all weather and bring a hat! 1. Learning How to See: The Practice of Observing | Saturday, June 17 This workshop will be held outdoors, where we are invited to bear witness to the great unfolding of life. Spending time in the natural world is one way to sharpen our skills of observation and become the hollow bone. After taking time to go within and ground ourselves to the earth herself, we will open our awareness outward, igniting our senses and taking in all that is open to us in the moment. We will invite our imaginations to translate what we sense and intuit in both the seen and unseen worlds. Our writing will be inspired by authors Robin Wall Kimmerer, Jon Young, Sharon Blackie, N. Scott Momaday, Joy Harjo, and others. In this supportive container, you’ll have time to share ideas and writing. All levels are welcome. You are invited to write in whichever genre calls to you. 2. Composite Beings: The Elements as Our Guides | Saturday, July 29 This workshop will be held outdoors so that we can consider the four elements as a framework for thinking about the borderless nature of awareness and life. When we notice one thing, it is likely that it raises our attention to other things previously unseen. The elements intermix and reflect our dynamic and interrelated nature. Rain works with Wind. Fire can be doused by Rain. Earth sustains us all. We are 70% water; we push and pull air through our lungs, and the fire in our belly helps digest the Earth’s bounty. Our writing will be inspired by the work of Merlin Sheldrake, David Lukas, Theodore Schwenk, Joanna Macy and others. There will be time to share ideas and writing in this supportive container. All levels are welcome. You are invited to write in whichever genre calls you. 3. Kincentricity: Animals as Teachers | Saturday, August 26 This workshop will be held outdoors so that we can extend our awareness to the animal world while considering how our kinship makes up the constellation of life on Earth. As we examine our relationship with the animal realm, we will consider these questions: Who keeps showing up in your life from the animal world? Do they appear when you need support, a lesson, or a friend? Is there an animal encounter from your past that has left an indelible mark? What animal in particular pulls at your heartstrings and asks for you to represent them through your artistic expression? Our writing, or illustrating, will be inspired by the work of Anna Breytenbach, Mary Rose O’Rielley, Carl Sandburg, John Muir Laws, and more. There will be time to share ideas and writing in this supportive container. All levels are welcome. You are invited to write in whichever genre calls you.
