Opening reception: 6 - 7:30 p.m. Friday, June 16. Join the La Jolla Historical Society for the opening of The Artist at Home, which invites viewers into the studio and domestic spaces of artists from throughout San Diego and Baja California through partial reconstructions and reimagining of their studios, original photography, as well as images of historic artist homes from across the country. The exhibition explores how these spaces influence artistic production and collaboration, and what they reveal about the modes of living and being as an artist. Original artist projects by Irene de Watteville, Jean Lowe and Kim MacConnel, and Irma Sofia Poeter will transport viewers to their private spaces, and playfully explore the history of Wisteria Cottage as a residence. Co-Curator Joey Herring photographically documented artists’ homes and studios from San Diego and Baja California, including those of Beliz Iristay, Einar and Jamex De la Torre, Johnny “Bear” Contreras, Marisol Rendón and Ingram Ober. Herring’s photographs reveal a stunning range of sites where creativity is housed and nurtured throughout the region. Additionally, on view will be historic images and stories of La Jolla’s crucibles of creativity including the Green Dragon Colony, and key historic figures from La Jolla’s artistic community. Finally, the exhibition considers the value of preserving and interpreting artist’s homes and studios and share examples of these efforts through a collaboration with the Historic Artists’ Homes & Studios (HAHS) program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Funding for this project generously provided by Suzanne Conlon, Judge Jonathan T. Colby (Ret.), Hugh Davies and Faye Hunter, Dr. Lisa Braun Glazer and Jeff Glazer, and Carole and Nicholas Preece. Institutional support provided by the City of San Diego Commission for Arts and Culture and by the Members of the La Jolla Historical Society.
