Join us on Friday, February 9 for the Russell Lecture, featuring Elliott Hundley. This program is free for MCASD Members and UC San Diego faculty, staff, and students; $5 for other students and seniors; and $15 for non-members. UC San Diego ID is required for free entry. Presented with support from UCSD. About Elliott Hundley Known for his dense multimedia compositions that reference both art history and mythology, Hundley’s work weaves together scenes from the past with familiar imagery taken from the contemporary world. Working in a variety of media Hundley fuses painting, drawing, sculpture, collage, photography, and performance into rich, multifaceted tableaux. Through a process ranging from gradual accumulation to spontaneous mark making, he builds up the surface of his works using quotidian found materials. Individual additions of embroidery, thread, straight pins, ephemera, magazine cut-outs, photographs, and paint come together to form complex compositions that at first glance appear unified but on closer inspection reveal their intricate and dexterously crafted components. About the Russell Lecture The Russell Foundation was established in the will of Betty Russell, one of MCASD's founding docents and a long-time supporter of UC San Diego. She specified that funds from the foundation should help "foster the appreciation and study of the modern visual arts and creativity of young artists" through support for the Museum and the University. Past Russell Lecture speakers have included have included Shizu Saldamando (2023), June Edmonds (2021), Njideka Akunyili Crosby (2020), Rodney McMillian (2019), Zackary Drucker (2018), Miguel Calderón (2017), Andrea Bowers (2016), Judith Barry (2015), Tacita Dean (2014), Byron Kim (2013), Tania Bruguera (2012), and Isaac Julien (2011).

Younger voters have been a crucial voting bloc for Democrats, but President Biden is facing real challenges — and it's part of why his race with former President Donald Trump is so tight.

The success of Dario Argento’s "The Bird with The Crystal Plumage" ushered in a wave of new, modern takes on the giallo thriller. Some rose above the crowd thanks to skillful execution and stylistic experimentation. Case in point: "The Fifth Cord", which, in the hands of director Luigi Bazzoni (Le Orme, the Possessed), turns a conventional premise into a visually stunning exploration of alienation and isolation. When a man barely survives a brutal assault en route home from a New Year’s party, washed-up, whisky-swilling journalist Franco Nero (DJANGO) is assigned to the case. Before long, the maniac strikes again, this time with fatal results. As the body count rises, Nero is under suspicion himself, making it even more imperative that he crack the case. His only clue: black gloves found at the location of every attack, each with a finger cut off… “Remember that classic scene in "Crystal Plumage" where a victim-to-be ascends a dark staircase, lit only by a flickering candle in her hand? Ever want to see an entire movie shot so beautifully? Thanks to Vittorio Storaro (1900, Apocalypse Now), the same cinematographer, this fascinating giallo has enough visual style to fuel a dozen other thrillers.” — Nathaniel Thompson, Mondo Digital Stay Updated with Digital Gym Cinema!
