Saturday, Sept. 2, 2023 at 2 p.m. on KPBS TV / Stream now with the PBS App. Test cook Keith Dresser and host Bridget Lancaster grill up Pinchos Morunos (Spanish Grilled Pork Kebabs).

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
