I thought the board would enjoy this. Mark Murphy is putting together a phenomenal exhibition in San Diego called "Survey Select - A Narrative Art Exhibition". The show is going to take place is a 5000 square foot space and feature over 60 artists. The show is going to run from July 15 to September 5 with workshops, film screenings and events throughout the run. I've seen some of the art for this show and so far all the contributing artists have delivered stellar work.
This is going to be an amazing event and I'm looking forward to meeting a lot of the board members in San Diego later this summer. Info for the exhibition is below and please feel free to PM me or contact Mark Murphy for any further info.
Introducing “Survey Select—Narrative Art Exhibition,” a contemporary art exhibition celebrating 64 internationally renowned artists. “Survey Select” elevates the narrative tradition of storytelling with original art works, critical writings, workshops, films and community events. Through a unified presentation of painting, drawing, collage and sculpture the public can experience a 8 week museum show for free six days a week from July 15 through September 15 at the Wonderbread Factory in downtown San Diego.
Location and Dates
The “Survey Select” exhibition, events and workshops will take place at the Wonderbread Factory, a 5,000-foot, Warhol-inspired warehouse setting in downtown San Diego at 171 14th Street. The exhibition will open to the public Friday, July 16, preceded by a private opening Thursday, July 15. Exhibition dates July 15 though September 15, closed on Monday of each week and featuring weekly events.
Artists
“Survey Select” features a diverse group of 64 cultural instigators not afraid to articulate the complexities of life through their personal, thought-provoking, narrative style. This diverse group of selected artists represents an emerging community of fine art painters from Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Mexico, Spain, Sweden and the United States, ranging in ages 18 to 75. Many of the exhibition’s artists have been featured in museums, documentaries and books, as well as actively teach.
Art Salon Salon Revival
“Survey Select” pays homage to the Fine Art Salons of the1920s and continues today. Every Salon revolves around a centralized theme, in our case “narrative art” or “storytelling” and features musicians, performers, writers and philosophers. One example of the past—Art Salons inspired the surrealist art movement, which then flourished in the visual arts, literature, music and film. The Surrealists broke away from the conventions of realism, rejected rationality, experimented and were not afraid to celebrate the macabre. Today, “Survey Select” looks to inspire new thinking in the world of contemporary art by introducing narrative art free of intellectual labeling.
Weekly Events
Weekly community offerings include educational workshops, dramatic presentations, narratives, discussion, scholarships, film screenings, musical guests and artist receptions to inspire open dialogue, critical thinking, hands-on experiences and a presentation of diverse points of view.
