With Abandon: Works by SDSU Alumni 2011 – 2016 shares five years of work from SDSU School of Art + Design alumni. Each artist in the exhibition pays homage to their mentor and a program that celebrates craftsmanship and the hand-made, while creating work in their own individual voice. Surveying approaches from multiple areas of study, the pieces show a common interest in decay, using everyday materials or subject matter as a conduit for contemplation and investigation. Guest-curated by Ginger Shulick Porcella, Executive Director, San Diego Art Institute.
Alumni artists: Ainsley Buhl, Chelsea Herman,Tammy Young Eun Kim, Lee M. Lavy, Adam John Manley, Maricarmen Olimón, Amanda Packer, Kaiya Rainbolt, Phil Rowland, Michael Rybicki, Marisa Scheinfeld, Aren Skalman, Katie Stapko, Kurosh Yahyai
A special program of the evening is the launch of "Station B," with current MFA candidate, Ashley Fenderson. She will be creating a site-specific installation in our loading dock. Fenderson's work will run concurrent to With Abandon.
Mix and mingle with the artists during the reception.
