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.

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
