"Facing West/Looking East"
Exhibit "showcases work by 20 artists, reaching across the Pacific to East Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia for their content and commentary. The featured artists "share a common interest in borrowing, recycling, and sampling from the cultural cornucopia of today's flat world where historical and geographical divisions are becoming increasingly irrelevant." Closes Sunday, January 13.
"Used for centuries as a means to promote peace, love, and compassion, prayer flags are a universal symbol for giving visual voice to your prayers, hopes, and dreams." Museum invited artists from around the world to participate in this project based on Vivika Hansen DeNegre's "The Prayer Flag Project," and received responses from artists all over the world. "The Prayer Flag Project" showcases more than 100 handcrafted flags hanging in the lobby through December. Installation includes Tim and Ron Ranson's video Prayer Flags of Nepal.
For more than three decades, the biennial "Quilt National" exhibition created by Dairy Barn Arts Center "has showcased the best and most exciting contemporary art quilts being created around the world." More than 1000 works were submitted for this juried traveling exhibition. View 30 of the selected quilts honoring "the quilting tradition while embracing new forms of expression through innovative techniques and modes of expression." Through Tuesday, February 12.
Expanding on the conversation between artists working in the medium of quilting, "Fiber Dialogues" presents a group of Southern California artists interested in responding to works in the "Quilt National" exhibition, on display through Sunday, February 10. Inspired by visual, conceptual, or technical cues, this counterpoint exhibit creates a dialogue between the two exhibitions and participating artists.
