The Timken is fortunate to have a collection of Russian icons, because this form of sacred art of the Eastern Rite is to a great extent important to the development of Renaissance art. Mostly tempera on panel, these icons are portraits of Jesus and his mother, saints, or Bible episodes depicted in the Byzantine style. In the Timkens's own early Renaissance works, the influence of these icons can be seen. We will discuss some of the salient points about this unique art form in order to understand its meaning and significance in this docent-led talk. Our free virtual tours allow you to step inside the museum and explore one of the greatest collections of paintings, from the comfort of your home. We recommend you download zoom in advance. If you have any questions please contact Alexandra at ariley@timkenmuseum.org or 619-550-5955.

Occupy Thirdspace II: Plástica y palabra en TJ/SD explores the relationship between the visual arts and palabra (word). It documents the history of this relationship from the late 1980s to the present, through the work of artists who have lived and worked in Tijuana and San Diego. Palabra as a concept speaks back to the oppressive function of "Language," as a tool for colonization, assimilation, and exclusion —repurposing, translating, and changing it. Plástica y Palabra represents a collective force of impulses that cross geopolitical, racial, lingual, social, and economic borders. These practices live, give new life, and assign new meaning to their environment. Sonidero Travesura will be performing live at the gallery opening on the Dome terrace. The duo is composed of Tijuana native Omar Lizarraga and Dardin Coria. Date | Saturday, February 19 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Location | San Diego Central Library Opening Reception takes place outside on the 9th floor Dome Terrace. Mask mandates and social distancing are in place. Gallery capacity will be limited to 30 visitors at one time. This event is free and open to the public. For more information, please visit the event's website or contact Bonnie Domingos at (619) 236-5881.
