| Event Description |
On the occasion of the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin’s birth and the 150th anniversary of the publishing of On the Origin of Species, Michele Guieu puts together a show, “Lucy, Darwin and Me,” that celebrates our origins and biodiversity, and evokes the years she spent in Africa, including the trips she took to the Sahara desert with her geologist father and her biologist mother. Michele’s time in Africa coincided with the discovery of the skeleton known as Lucy, the oldest hominid found at the time and named for the Beatles’ song “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.” The show runs from Saturday, December 12, 2009 to Sunday, January 24, 2010, at Art Produce Gallery in North Park.
Opening reception is Saturday, December 12, 2009, from 6 to 9pm.
Michele Guieu is a San Diego Art Prize 2009 nominee.
