Philip Petrie and Jim Richerson have been in dialogue about art and museum installations for over 30 years but this is the first time these two artists have exhibited together. Both are interested in ambiguities of meaning and form and how these ambiguities can yield new meanings. Richerson, a sculptor, has created a whole series of works around the word “if” which play with scale and materials (including mirrors) to express the possibilities implied in that word. The pieces are concrete and formally precise but suggest a slippage in terms of identity and, with that, humor. Petrie’s black and white drawings are part of a series he calls “Epic Fail” which reference our troubled times. He tackles political, religious, and personal elements which are translated into dream images that are dark, surrealistic, and abstracted. Showing together both artists hope to point out similarities and differences between the works which deepen the viewers’ experience and reference the particular hinge moment that we live in. Gallery Hours: Thursdays 2-5 p.m. and Saturdays 2-5 p.m. and by appointment Opening Reception: Sat. Jan. 17 2-5 p.m. Closing Reception: Sat. Feb. 28 2-5 p.m.

Join Museum educators for a special workshop inspired by the practice of sobremesa, cherished by artist Alfredo Castañeda. "Sobremesa" refers to the moments when a meal extends into lingering conversation, when guests talk, listen to music, and reflect on life and ideas. This workshop invites participants to gather in community, engage in both prompted and organic conversation, and take part in an art-making activity inspired by Castañeda’s work and practice. Poetry and storytelling, central to Castañeda’s sobremesas, will guide the flow of dialogue, sparking creativity and connection. The San Diego Museum of Art on Facebook / Instagram
