The Very Large Array: San Diego/Tijuana Artists in the MCA Collection
There’s a reason the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego is calling its next downtown exhibit, “The Very Large Array: San Diego/Tijuana Artists in the MCA Collection.” Opening Nov. 29 as part of the museum’s monthly TNT (Thursday Night Thing), the exhibit will include more than 80 artists representing over five decades of collecting (beginning in 1959).
The exhibit, which continues through June 1, will utilize the museum’s large, Farrell Gallery. The museum will also construct a “white cube” space within the gallery to present a “focused selection” of works that will rotate every three or four months.
The “Very Large Array” of regional artists whose works will be displayed includes:
Acamonchi, Amy Adler, Wick Alexander, Felipe Almada, Aron Anish, Eleanor Antin, Mónica Arreola, David Avalos, Russell W. Baldwin, Mely Barragán, David Baze, Barry Bell, Adam Belt, Doris Bittar, Álvaro Blancarte, Robin Bright, Tania Candiani, Kenneth Capps, Fabián Cereijido, Alida Cervantes, Enrique Ciapara, Becky Cohen, Harold Cohen, Janet Cooling, Lael Corbin, Hugo Crosthwaite, Stephen Curry, Einar and Jamex de la Torre, Sergio de la Torre, Roman de Salvo, Brian Dick, Steve Fagin, Amanda Farber, Manny Farber, Lynn Fayman, William Feeney, Russell Forester, Faiya Fredman, Daniela Gallois, Robert Ginder, Ethel Greene, Mathieu Gregoire, Raúl Guerrero, Helen and Newton Harrison, Louis Hock, Suda House, James Hubbell, Robert Irwin, Glenna Jennings, Jay Johnson, Scott Kessler, Byron Kim, Jesse Lerner, Javier Ramírez Limón, Jean Lowe, James Luna, Kim MacConnel, Heather Gwen Martin, Julio César Morales, Angeles Moreno, Richard Allen Morris, Anne Mudge, Ruben Ochoa, Arthur Ollman, Julio Orozco, Jaime Ruiz Otis, Marta Palau, Patricia Patterson, Victor Payan, Iana Quesnell, Marcos Ramírez ERRE, Zandra Rhodes, Salvador Ricalde, Philipp Scholz Ritterman, Gail Roberts, John Rogers, Daniel Ruanova, Deborah Ruth, Niki de Saint Phalle, Italo Scanga, Allison Schulnik, Reesey Shaw, Ernest Silva, Elizabeth Sisco, James Skalman, Deborah Small, Haim Steinbach, Torolab/Raúl Cárdenas Osuna, Rubén Ortiz Torres, Perry Vasquez, Yvonne Venegas, James Watts, and Walter Haase Wojtyla.
