Union Hall Gallery, a new community arts space in Golden Hill will host its inaugural exhibition "The Art of Experience" in partnership with Santa Ysabel Art Gallery, featuring the evocative works of sculptor Ted Berryman and his late wife, abstract painter Martha Moramay Cuevas. This poignant memorial show, resurrected from a previously planned bi-national exhibition in Baja in 2020, will run from May 4 through June 16. Ted Berryman works with natural artifacts including reclaimed wood and stone, as well as glass and iron, to create large-scale sculptural pieces that explore the call and response of the artist and work evolving in tandem. Berryman's work, which also includes written elements, invites viewers into a dynamic interaction, where their engagement – through touch and exploration – brings each piece to life. As an artist in residence at the Santa Ysabel Art Gallery in its Garage Gallery, Berryman has earned a reputation as a local wonder in the backcountry of San Diego County for his unique pieces and willingness to explore each work of art with his patrons. Martha Moramay Cuevas, a Tijuana native and Berryman’s late wife, was celebrated for her abstract paintings that utilized finely ground marble, pigments, and ink on various surfaces to create atmospheric compositions with incised ethereal figures. Her textural technique, Materica, allowed her to engage in a performative dialogue with her materials, inviting viewers to participate in the emergent narrative. Together, Berryman and Cuevas shared a life and studio on a quiet ranch in Santa Ysabel, dedicating their lives to the creation of art that speaks to the human experience. "The Art of Experience" is not only a tribute to Cuevas’ memory, but also a celebration of the couple's artistic journey together. Their story, marked by a shared commitment to exploring all aspects of the human condition through art, is a testament to their belief in art's experiential nature. Berryman's reflections on the necessity of interaction and engagement with art highlight the exhibition's core philosophy—that art is enlivened through experience, inviting viewers to break free from traditional constraints and immerse themselves fully in experiencing each piece. This show is the inaugural long-term gallery installation of the Union Hall Gallery, located at 2323 Broadway in Golden Hill. "The Art of Experience" opens on May 4 with an opening reception at Union Hall Gallery from 4 p.m. – 8 p.m. The public will then be able to visit the exhibition on Fridays from 2 to 6 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 5 pm.

Book by DUNCAN MACMILLAN With JONNY DONAHOE Directed by J. SCOTT LAPP You’re six years old. Mom’s in the hospital. Dad says she’s “done something stupid.” She finds it hard to be happy. So you start to make a list of everything that’s brilliant about the world. Everything that’s worth living for. #1) Ice cream. #2) Kung Fu movies. #3) Burning things. #4) Laughing so hard you shoot milk out your nose. #5) Construction cranes. #6) Me. You leave it on her pillow. You know she’s read it because she’s corrected your spelling. Soon, the list will take on a life of its own. This surprising and immersive theatrical experience speaks openly about depression, mental illness and suicide. With poignant humor and joy, Every Brilliant Thing takes us on a journey through grief, healing, falling in love, and rediscovering all that life has to give.

Culinary Historians of San Diego will present “Inventing the Flying Meal - The Early Days of Food in Flight,” featuring Richard Foss, at 10:30 am May 18, in the Neil Morgan Auditorium of the San Diego Central Library, 330 Park Blvd, San Diego. Aircraft present the most challenging cooking environment that has ever existed, but cooks and engineers rose to the challenge. Zeppelins, flying boats, and some airliners featured meats roasted inflight and sauces made from scratch. Some strange things were tried, including cooking with charcoal, alcohol stoves, and the heat of the engines. Refrigeration was another problem, and even trays with precooked meals present challenges in transport and storage. After this lecture, you’ll marvel that any meal can be created in flight, much less a good one. Richard Foss has been writing professionally since 1986 when he started reviewing restaurants for a Los Angeles newspaper. He has contributed to over forty different publications, including the Encyclopedia of World Food Cultures and the Oxford Companion to Sweets. Richard has taught culinary history in extension programs, done lecture tours in the US, Australia, and New Zealand, been a culinary consultant for museums, and is on the board of Culinary Historians of Southern California. His book on the history of rum was published in 2012. “Food in the Air and Space” was released in December 2014. Foss is the Executive Director of Collage: A Place for Art and Culture, a nonprofit arts center located in San Pedro, California. Stay Connected on Facebook and Instagram
