NEW Curator as Art Activist

This month we are drawing your attention to independent curators and want to encourage this breed of art activist in San Diego.

On July 19, take a free shuttle from San Diego to Terra Sur, a gorgeous piece of ocean front architecture outside of Playas, Tijuana. Walk through rooms filled with site-specific art by Tijuana, Mexico City, Estonia and Ensanada artists. Experience the city’s cultural side and put aside your fears of a city of violence and drugs. This is made possible by Adapta Project, which was founded in 2007 to offer an alternative perspective for showing and viewing artistic expression outside of conventional venues. This collaborative initiative of curating and creating art in response to differing spaces is intended to positively influence and impact the experience of everyone involved, and expand existing opportunities currently available for presenting art.

In Adapta Project’s curatorial creation, regionally renowned artists Claudia Algara, Mely Barragan, Tania Candiani, Franklin Collao, Damian Gastelum, Leslie Garcia, Aldo Guerra, Ingrid Hernandez, Hector Herrera, Marliis Newsome, Carmen García Núñez, Daniel Ruanova, Jorge Tellaeche, Senor Vargas will create miniature self-expressive galleries within their own allotted spaces.....continued
