  • Jamie Franks' new site-specific, ephemeral installation, “Hurry” at ICE Gallery covers the entire gallery space with isomalt (sugar substitute), steel wire and resin. The isomalt takes on an appearance of fractured sheets of crystalline material or ice cracking and crumbling throughout the entire gallery — with pieces of varying size threaded with fine wire and woven across each wall. Even the space's windows are coated with a fluid-like blob pattern formed by resin. Left to its own devices (and the natural humidity of the space), the isomalt would eventually break down. San Diego-based artist Jamie Franks' interdisciplinary work has been shown at Art Produce and Bread and Salt before — including her recent, memorable evolving chairs installations, "Cacophony" and "Liability." "Hurry" has open gallery hours every Sunday from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. You can also view the exhibition by appointment, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m, Tuesday through Saturday and can be made online here. ICE Gallery is located inside Bread and Salt. —Julia Dixon Evans, KPBS Related links: Gallery appointments ICE Gallery on Instagram Jamie Franks on Instagram

  • The San Diego City College Photography Department invites you to an opening reception for our new exhibit entitled "Excavation: A Journey Through Loss." See images, installations, and the photo book of the same name by our very own adjunct photography instructor, Jason Reimer, which has recently been published by Daylight Books. The exhibit runs from January 30 through February 10, and the opening reception will be on Saturday, February 4 from 5-7 p.m. in the Luxe Gallery on the 5th floor of the Career Technology Center. Ample street parking is available, as well as parking lot 5, which is located at the northeast corner of 16th and C Street, just across the street from the Career Technology Center where the exhibit takes place. For more information, call the photography department at (619) 388-3281. Made in response to the death of the artist’s sister shortly before the birth of his first child, Jason Reimer’s work ponders the meaning of life, death, suffering, and human nature. It does so in the form of a fragmented, apocalyptic narrative embodied within a book that utilizes multiple textures, substrates, and complex image sequencing.

About the performance: Immersed in the dark world of the Brothers Grimm, Sugar Houses is a new dance theater work that employs the tale of Hansel & Gretel to explore the dynamics of scapegoating, and the complexity and complicity of looking the other way. Created by celebrated choreographer Rosanna Gamson, this adult retelling of the tale exposes hidden histories and finds contemporary resonances in the familiar story, recounted in bold imagery informed by the horror genre. The audience joins a cast of six dancers/singers/actors on stage in an evening filled with gallows humor, choral singing, athletic dancing, arcane rites, and spooky incantations. Traditional American songs arranged by Fahad Siadat and Tomasz Krzyzanowski and witches’ spells by famed horror writer Brian Evenson are performed live with sonic sampling by Simon Greenberg. Parking information: The closest parking structure is Scholars Parking Structure located at Muir College Drive off of North Torrey Pine Road. Pay by App: Download Parkmobile, a service that allows users to pay for and extend parking sessions. Learn More > Note: Recommended for audience ages 12 and up.
