"Picturing Health" curated by Elizabeth Rooklidge features works by Philip Brun Del Re, Maria Mathioudakis, Bhavna Mehta, Tatiana Ortiz-Rubio, Elizabeth Rooklidge, and Akiko Surai Exhibition runs: Saturday, Nov. 9 - Saturday, Dec. 14, 2024 Gallery hours (during exhibitions): 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. About the exhibition: From the KPBS Fall Arts Guide: Curated by Elizabeth Rooklidge, a curator, professor, artist and scholar on disability in art, this exhibition at Best Practice (inside Bread and Salt) includes work by local artists Philip Brun Del Re, Maria Mathioudakis, Bhavna Mehta, Tatiana Ortiz-Rubio, Rooklidge, Akiko Surai and Christina Valenzuela. Many of these artists comprise the advisory committee for the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego's "For Dear Life" exhibition (a major historical survey of disability in art) — and it's significant that these living, local artists also have a space and exhibition to showcase their own work on disability, illness and impairment. Each artist brings a unique approach and style, and many will be familiar to San Diego visual art audiences. Brun Del Re's text-based work is accessible, disruptive and delightful; Mathioudakis' sculpture is profound and simultaneously beautiful and disturbing; Mehta's papercut and embroidery works are stunning both in scale and detail; Ortiz-Rubio's murals and large-scale works often play with concepts of physics, memory and time; Rooklidge's recent series, "Sick Women," collects and collages stills of women in their sick beds in modern cinema; and Surai's work draws on a variety of mediums like embroidery, collage, photography, drawing, found objects and poetry to insightfully comment on highly researched concepts like memory, neurology and more. —Julia Dixon Evans, KPBS Related links: Best Practice website | Instagram
