Exhibition: : MCASB Satellite @ Hotel Indigo Santa Barbara, Shift, Stretch, Expand: Everyday Transformations
Exhibition on view: January 31, 2016 to January 22, 2017
Opening Reception: Saturday, February 20, 2016, 6–8 pm
This exhibition features nine Santa Barbara County artists that explore the quiet and inconspicuous operations of everyday existence in vastly different ways. In our daily comings and goings, within and around us, things are in a constant state of transformation: clouds, currency, alliances, and surfaces, to name just a few. While passing through space, sitting still, or interacting with others, in every instance subtle shifts affect our experience. Whether obvious or understated, or even invisible, these occurrences alter the ways in which we perceive our realities. The artists focus on conditions of transformation, including points at which limits are questioned, thresholds are crossed, frames of reference are destabilized, and expectations are subverted.
Participating artists include Phil Argent, Weslie Ching, Petra Cortright, George Legrady, Kyra Lehman, Rebekah Miles, Maria Rendón, Stephanie Washburn, and Russell Young.
As part of this unique museum/hotel partnership, Hotel Indigo Santa Barbara guests receive exclusive perks at MCA Santa Barbara’s museum.
