Submitted by yolietorres on Fri, 05/22/2009 - 8:53am. Student ProjectSatellite Ensemble II:
An Event of Creative Transience
May 30, 2009
Agitprop Gallery, 3:00-5:00 pm; 2837 University Avenue,

Trolley Rides Every 30 Minutes to Tijuana
Bring Passport and $5 for Transportation
There are many spaces between neighborhoods in San Diego and Tijuana that resonate with stories from the personal to the universal. The everyday occurrences such as a daily commute are often dwarfed by stories that reach the world news about wall extension, immigrant rights restriction, drug cartels, or viral infection. However what is lasting though perhaps not spectacular and rarely news worthy, is the mundane, daily ritual completed by thousands.
Satellite Ensemble II is a multi-sited series of creative works by UCSD artists that explore border issues between San Diego and Mexico. There will be artwork on display at Agitprop, in North Park, and Lui Velazquez, in Tijuana; the transit between the two spaces will also showcase performance pieces from participating artists.

Slapshock Performance by Elle Mehrmand and Micha Cárdenas
Thursday, June 11th at 8PM
compactspace gallery, 105 East 6th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90014
Twenty six of UC San Diego’s Master of Fine Arts (MFA) candidates are participating in The Dark Tower, a group exhibit at compactspace, Los Angeles. The Dark Tower is a multi-media salon show curated by artist, filmmaker and UCSD visual arts faculty Cauleen Smith.
The Dark Tower refers to imagery from Robert Browning’s poem (1855) “Child Rolande to the Dark Tower Came,” and Countee Cullen’s poem (1927) “From the Dark Tower.” Browning’s poem describes the arduous journey toward The Dark Tower, and Mr. Cullen’s poem leads us away. The exhibit also draws inspiration from the Harlem Renaissance salon—hosted by the late A’lelia Walker, daughter of Madame CJ Walker, hair care magnate and first black American woman to become a millionaire.

Julia Westerbeke sculptures create new terrains that are by turns organic and curiously alien, quiet yet chock-a-block with information. The theme is "creation in spite of itself." The goal is intimacy, establishing a connection with the viewer through the mesmeric draw of detail and the strange twists of an eccentric, generative terrain.

The Visiting Artist Lecture Series invites you to two lectures with artists, Jim Shaw and Marnie Weber.
“Jim Shaw is whatʼs often referred to as an artistʼs artist—not in the sense that he is forgotten by the market, but rather that his work and career have inspired countless younger practitioners” - Annie Butler, Art Forum
“Weberʼs photomontages and videos deal in half-finished stories and hallucinogenic fantasies. In one narrative series of collages, The Unlovables, naked women cut from porn mags are exiled in the American desert with only hamsters for company (a hamster-woman super race results, naturally). In another series, female ghosts put on a musical in eerily abandoned stage sets...But itʼs the unexpected and seamless collision between these ingredients, a cocktail of light and dark, that creates Weberʼs bizarre magic. So whether or not you grasp the stories sheʼs telling, her perverse universe is a beguiling place to visit. One that lingers in the mind long after leaving” - Rowan Kerek, BBC Senior Content Producer

“Artist/gardener/educator/architect Fritz Haeg has a geodesic dome in Los Angeles, California, that serves as his home, studio and eclectic "schoolhouse" for visitors. Haeg brings this multi-purpose approach to the creation of "Edible Estates," an ongoing agricultural project that replaces suburban lawns in the United States and England with highly productive domestic edible landscapes. Sponsored by local art institutions and horticultural organizations, these functional art-farms challenge preconceptions about land use and subvert the "toxic uniformity" of suburbia” - http://www.greenmuseum.org/
