This spring, a striking new art installation will transform the arrival court lawn of the California Center for the Arts, Escondido (CCAE). * (pronounced “Star”) is a 30-foot geometric sculpture, an awe-inspiring piece that blends mathematical precision with artistic vision. By day, the structure’s aluminum spikes and fabric sails interact with the shifting light, creating an elegant yet imposing presence. By night, 30 individually programmable LED floodlights illuminate the sails, transforming the sculpture into a glowing beacon visible from afar. "*(Star)" is the latest work from Glass House Arts, an Escondido-based artist collective known for large-scale, immersive sculptures that invite curiosity and connection. Originally designed for Burning Man, this installation celebrates its roots by returning to the city where it was built—Escondido.

Curated by Kamaal Martin of Art, Power, Equity in partnership with UCSD’s Black Studies Project and Art Produce, "Lineage + Inheritance" presents a trans-generational dialogue between established artists Andrea Rushing and Jean Cornwell alongside emerging talents Mensah Bey and Domonique King. The exhibition, which opened March 13 and runs through April 19, 2025, features new works that frame particular generational perspectives on contemporary issues and the life and liberation of Black people. The artists work across diverse media: Rushing primarily with oil on canvas, Cornwell presenting hand-embellished acrylic prints on paper, Bey creating acrylic paintings oncanvas, and King exploring wood, metal, yarn and textiles. "This exhibition reflects a Black aesthetic grounded in community participation, artistic innovation, and liberation," says curator Kamaal Martin. "These concepts have been explored by artists, scholars, and activists throughout the long history of Black art practices in the Americas." The artist talk offers a rare opportunity to hear these four distinctive creative voices in live conversation, discussing their artistic processes, influences, and the themes that connect their work across generations.
