Marking Time: What Athenaeum Artists Create In Quarantine
KPBS
Here's one for the time capsules. The Athenaeum Music and Art Library in La Jolla will install an exhibition of the work of 49 artists — all individuals who have previously had a solo show in the museum or had contributed cover art for a concert program (a weirdly sweet and specific qualification which made me want to look up their concert program archives).
I love the recent work San Diego artist Allison Wiese has been making, including her neon pieces. She'll have one in this show, called "Plot Devices: Weather Saves the Day," which was also recently acquired by the City of San Diego's civic art collection. Another standout to me is the work Perry Vasquez has been doing in the pandemic, including his series, "The Ideal Copy."
