Event Description

Join us for Lino Lago's, our Madrid, Spain artist’s third solo exhibition, titled Multipolar. This exhibition introduces the idea of confrontation of different worlds/cultures—a multipolar world—which these days is challenged and most likely finished with our dreamt idea of globalization. The artist represents these concepts by confronting different and sometimes opposing paths and styles in a single painting. Lino Lago is a Spanish-born artist, who continuously pushes the boundaries of contemporary art practices. Painting with technically traditional oil paints and inspired by the imagery of classical European portraits, Lago’s work has a distinctly contemporary feel. In his California solo exhibition Multipolar, the artist treats his viewers to snippets of a portrait through squiggles across monochrome canvases.

Event Description

Inspired by a childhood memory of Peter Pan, Kathleen Kane-Murrell’s Chasing Shadows explores the ephemeral nature of light and form. Using suspended plexiglass, she creates layered, shifting compositions where shadows become an integral part of the artwork—always present yet often overlooked. In a fast-paced world that demands quick judgments, Kane-Murrell invites viewers to slow down, engage in deep looking, and discover the quiet beauty in the fleeting. Her work is a meditation on time, transformation, and renewal, offering a space for contemplation and discovery.

Event Description

Project [BLANK] continues its tradition as San Diego’s most innovative producer of opera, with a new production that busts open the operatic form and scatters its pieces throughout a public park. PARK OPERA is a one-of-a-kind interdisciplinary arts experience, free and open to the public. Staged outdoors in a public park, audiences receive a map and follow a wandering course through a landscape filled with music, art, and movement. Listeners of all ages will discover unexpected delights as they explore the park, igniting the imagination, activating the senses, and encouraging us to become “all ears”. In the process, we all can gain a deeper appreciation for our urban natural spaces, and consider the impact our presence leaves on our beautiful landscape. PARK OPERA was conceived by composer Wojtek Blecharz, and has been performed in public parks in Poland, Germany, and Austria. Project [BLANK] is excited to bring this new work to San Diego for its US Premiere.

Event Description

We Are Voices of Other Voices is the collective work of the Zapotec community and the talent of nine contemporary artists. Each artist is exhibiting one or two textile pieces made through this collaboration, as well as a piece of their own current work. Under the direction of Ricardo Pinto and María Saldaña, artisans from this region partnered with contemporary artists to develop a series of pieces for this exhibition. Through this process, the creatives entered a dialogue, becoming apprentices of each other’s practices. The artisans learned new ways of designing, and the artists adapted to traditional craft techniques, using their dialogue to create pieces that respect and emphasize the origin of the craft as well as the contemporary art that emerged from working together.
