A good brother recommended this book and I had to grab a copy and dive in.

In addition to its material properties and function beyond being a commodity and an object (and many other things), art is a language and a tool. And it’s been wielded very effectively in overt and covert ways to influence our conscience, consciousness and behavior.

Is the art we consume, immerse ourselves in and revere geared towards the refinement and perfection of the human spirit and condition or something else completely other than that?

Why do we “like” what we think we like, and who told us to like it? Who is actually responsible for our “tastes”?

“Hard Rest”

The interim period between exhibitions is always a strange and wonderful time. The energetic and psychic memories as well as physical remnants from previous shows begin to merge with the promise and spectrum of possibilities that every new show bring.

Join us starting Wednesday, 9/8 for San Diego Design Week and work from the amazing Jean Cornwell Wheat.

Incredible performance to close out x .you.really.here

While the videos and still photos will begin making their rounds, only those of us who attended last nights ceremony and co-created the space will truly have a sense of the power and impact of the piece. What a special night…thank you so much to everyone who shared space with us.

“Whether staged in museums or commercial galleries, performance art comes with numerous challenges--to commission, to produce, to preserve, to historicize, and to sell--with both sides of the art world's church and state figuring out how to build on the medium's potential.” - Julie Baumgardner

“Theatre is fake ... The knife is not real, the blood is not real, and the emotions are not real. Performance is just the opposite: the knife is real, the blood is real, and the emotions are real.” - Marina Abramovic

Don’t miss the opening this Saturday, 7/3, 4pm

We are pleased to announce the exhibition “Flowers & Fields” featuring the work of artist Andrew Alcasid!

Alcasid’s “Flowers & Fields” exhibition will be on display July 03 - July 25, 2021 at the office of J. Walcher Communications, located at 1940 Market St, San Diego, CA 92102. A public opening will take place on Friday, July 03, 4pm-7pm, and a closing event on Sunday, July 25 from 4pm -7pm. In this exhibition, the audience is invited to explore the full range of Alcasid’s art practice in varying forms and mediums through the intimacy of a non-traditional exhibition space – an 1896 Queen Anne Victorian home used as an office space.

Huge thank you to Kamaal Martin, Art Power Equity for co-curating and the support!
