Aren Skalman Community Room Artist in Residence July 31 to Aug. 20. 2023 About Aren’s Residency at Art Produce: Transforming an object’s form and function is an exercise in navigating the fluid and reciprocal boundaries between self and other. During this residency I will be revisiting my family’s history of traveling to other countries in order to pursue creative endeavors. By displaying objects and imagery, painting, sculpting, and conversing with the community, I will examine ideas around inspiration, hybridization, appropriation, and evangelism. About the Artist: Aren Skalman is an artist based in San Diego. In 2012 and 2013 he traveled to India as a Fulbright Scholar, where he constructed a rolling, musical sculpture.

His work has been included in group exhibitions at Bread and Salt, Space 4 Art, SDSU Downtown Gallery, San Diego Art Institute, the Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, San Diego City College and Centro Estatal de las Artes, Tijuana & Ensenada.
