UCSD Professor Ernest Silva Gives Lecture at San Diego State University

Ernest Silva at San Diego State University
Wednesday, April 16, 2009 @ 4PM
Room 412 of SDSU's School of Art, Design and Art History
Visiting artist Ernest Silva will present an illustrated lecture on Thursday, April 16 at 4:00 p.m. in Room 412 of SDSU's School of Art, Design and Art History in conjunction with the exhibition animalkind. The lecture and exhibition are FREE and OPEN to the PUBLIC. The exhibition continues at the Gallery through May 6.
About the Artist: Since the early-1970s, Ernest Silva's work has been exhibited in over 45 solo exhibitions across the United States and Europe. He has also participated in numerous group exhibitions, including Made in California at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Silva has been a professor of art at the University of California, San Diego since 1979. In addition to his career as an artist and educator, Silva is responsible for co-creating the bi-national project InSite, which has comprised commissioned artworks exhibited throughout the San Diego and Tijuana regions since its inception in 1992. Silva's work was first seen at the University Art Gallery in 1978 in the exhibition Drawing: Personal Definitions. It is a pleasure to welcome him and his work back to San Diego State University for animalkind.
About the Work: Four of Ernest Silva's paintings are included in "animalkind." In one of these, a solitary buck seems alarmingly unaware of the devastation that surrounds him. He stands calmly at the edge of a stream flanked by a leafless forest filled with large stumps and severed trees, oblivious to the potential dangers inherent in the lack of sylvan cover and the loss of habitat. Nor does he notice that the entire landscape-sky, water and shore-appears either punctured by bleeding bullet holes or polluted with pools of dripping black oil. The unseen perpetrator of the destruction is the human species, which, according to Silva's painting, has painted a symbolic bull's eye on both the deer and nature as a whole. At the same time, the central isolated figure in this and other of Silva's deer paintings acts as a metaphor for the human condition, especially the state of being vulnerable and alone.

This documentary-like film, by director Brett Morgen (The Kid Stays in the Picture), tells the story of eight counter-cultural leaders who were charged with inciting the riots outside of the 1968 Democratic National Convention. Morgen started the project in 2002 with an eye toward informing the 2004 presidential election. Six years and one election later, it lands on the big screen. “We need it now more than ever,” says the director, who will take the stage for an engaging post-performance talk. [2007, USA, 103 min.]
"An era of convulsive political upheaval is intriguingly animated — literally — in Brett Morgen's unorthodox documentary." -- Bob Mondello, National Public Radio

Jean Lowe presents an impressive new body of work comprised of large and small-scale paintings and continues her conflations of high and low cultural spaces in her staggering combinations of interiors of baroque Bavarian palaces and big-box and large thrift stores. The artist creates paintings derived from her photographs of locations she has traveled to. The resulting compositions are accumulations of fictional hyper-real spaces.

Tikkunim
April 23 - May 3, 2009
Cinerama, SIFF Cinema at McCaw Hall, MOHAI, WSHM-Tacoma, Seattle, Washington
Tikkunim: curated by Tamar Benzikry-Stern, featuring work by Jackie Brookner, Manya Fox, Shari Mendelson, Beverly Naidus, George Ostrow, Ann T. Rosenthal, Sharon Siskin, Ilene Sunshine, Mierle Laderman Ukeles, and Ruth Wallen
Tikkunim refers to tikkun olam, the ancient Hebrew expression that has become a catch-all for healing, mending, repairing the world and improving society through social activism. The show examines the term's application to restoration of ecological balance and reclamation of resources both organic and man-made. The ten artists presented in Tikkunim explore humanity, nature, ecology and sustainability through their media and message.
Similar to the Jewish books known as tikkunim that share source material but offer versions of functionality - one for scribing biblical text and one for learning how to chant it - each artist offers a version of environmental repair. From meditations on the current state of affairs to possibilities for reparation, a photograph, sculpture, print, shelter, or book gains new meaning. With an understanding of art-making as analogous to scribing, each work of art represents a palpable hope for chanting - dialogue and impelled action.
The artists in Tikkunim share Jewish roots, many citing tikkun olam as a basic source and link to a universal art practice that addresses community and ecology: belonging to a larger whole.
In her exploration of select national parks and their boundaries, photographer Manya Fox examines Americans' relationship with nature, their desire to commune with it, and the disconnect between an imagined nature and an authentic one. Patent is the human footprint on the landscape.

E Antin, D Antin, F Lonidier, P Steinmetz: 'San Diego and the Origins of Conceptual Art in California' - Cardwell Jimmerson Cont
Submitted by yolietorres on Mon, 03/30/2009 - 10:08am. Faculty ShowProfessor Emeritus Allan Kaprow, Professor Emeritus Eleanor Antin, Professor Emeritus David Antin, Professors Emeriti Newton and Helen Mayer Harrison, Fred Lonidier, Phel Steinmetz
San Diego and the Origins of Conceptual Art in California
Exhibition runs February 24 through April 11, 2009
Cardwell Jimmerson Contemporary Art, 8568 Washington Blvd., Culver City CA 90232
It can be argued that the California variant of Conceptual Art began in San Diego during the late 1960's and early 1970's. Separate from and in addition to John Baldessari's historic National City work, there was at about the same time a sudden influx of scholars, artists and students to the La Jolla campus of the University of California that effectively remade that once sleepy outpost in a new cultural center. "San Diego and the Origins of Conceptual Art in California" is a study of that moment as if found expression in a new and particular form of art making. Participating artists include David Antin, Eleanor Antin, John Baldessari, Russell W. Baldwin, Helen and Newton Harrison, Fred Lonidier, Allan Kaprow, George Nicolaides, Martha Rosler, Allan Sekula, and Phel Steinmetz.
