In an immersive concert and theatrical experience built around Olivier Messiaen’s apocalyptic chamber masterpiece, Quartet for the End of Time, a mysterious visitor from another world arrives to give voice to a harrowing personal history. Conceived and created by Project [BLANK] Co-Artistic Director Brendan Nguyen, "The Tragedies of Space Travel" is an exploration of second-generation Vietnamese experience and the echoing ramifications of violence, displacement, and war. It employs “alien invasion” sci-fi tropes and otherworldly soundscapes as allegory for the perception of displaced refugees and immigrants. Created in collaboration with playwright Carolina Đỗ, visual artist Ash Capachione, sound artist Joe Mariglio and directed by Leslie Ann Leytham.

Widening the Embrace: A Reduced Carbon Footprint Concert (California-Korea, 2023) Widening the Embrace is the third stage in our collaboration, which began in 2016 with Changing Tides I and was followed at the beginning of the pandemic in February 2020 with Changing Tides 2: Requiem for the Earth. Our intention is to forge a path forward, balancing in sound as we collectively confront a morphing pandemic and undeniable climate crisis. In scientific and political fields today, the challenges facing humanity demand unprecedented levels of global, intercultural cooperation. As artists, we aspire to work in a similar spirit, drawing on the light-speed web of fiber optic nerves spread across our planet to create a trans-locational stage and activate it with new intercultural musical expressions. In collaboration with a team of visual designers and technologists, an ensemble of ten Korean and American improvisers split across our two sites will premiere new musical compositions that manifest our shared artistic affinities, in this latest collaborative effort to project our highest sonic aspirations.

One hundred years to the day after the historic discovery of King Tut’s tomb, "Beyond King Tut: The Immersive Experience," a new exhibition created in partnership with the National Geographic Society, will bring the magic and mystery of Ancient Egypt to the San Diego area, opening at the Wyland Center at the Del Mar Fairgrounds for a limited run beginning Jan. 27, 2023. Bringing to life the storied archives of the National Geographic Society in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of King Tut’s tomb discovery (November 1922), the highly anticipated exhibition combines the power of cinematic storytelling and soaring imagery to invite visitors into the golden king’s world like never before. This exhibition goes beyond a traditional artifact display using the power of photography and technology, ensuring that the artifacts from King Tut’s tomb remain in their country of origin. The multi-gallery, multi-sensory exhibition whisks guests on a time-traveling adventure to Ancient Egypt. With nine galleries to explore, "Beyond King Tut: The Immersive Experience" unlocks the 3,300 year old story of King Tut – his rule as a child pharaoh, his family, the discovery of his tomb and the mysteries surrounding his early death, and his journey to the afterlife.

This event has been postponed from January to February 25–26, 2022. Ticket holders: An email has been sent regarding your ticket options. If you need assistance, please email artpower@ucsd.edu. 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.

This spring semester the Hyde Art Gallery will be transformed into an aquatic temple dedicated to the Seven Sisters of the Pleiades. Meticulously captured by photographer Suda House, the daughters of Atlas have secretly returned to earth, inhabiting Grossmont College’s Performing and Visual Art Center, to spread awareness of the impending doom of a changing climate and humanity’s wasteful use and disposal of single-use plastics. Through these large-scale celestial photographs and an accompanying installation of plastic refuse, House seeks humanity’s reprieve from the worst-case scenarios of ecological collapse and postulates a solution grounded in history, scientific data, and mythic plausibility. Climate change is here and House’s narrative premise highlights the peril our progeny will confront. While many have ignored the inevitable, few have taken action and others have pleaded up to the sky, calling for help to avert the inescapable destruction of our world. "Saving Grace" will be on display at Grossmont College’s Hyde Art Gallery from Tuesday, February 22 until Saturday, April 9. An artist reception will be held on Tuesday, March 22 from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Walk-in visitation is available for all students currently enrolled in any on-campus classes or any staff and faculty already approved to be on campus. Students learning remotely, faculty and staff operating remotely, and the general public can request an appointment to view the exhibition. For more information, please contact alex.decosta@gcccd.edu.
