SUMMARY:Drawing Instruction in the Amazon: Artistic Creative Formation in the Mojos Region
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, May 16\n10:00 a.m.\nSpeakers: Verónica Muñoz-Nájar\, PhD\, Associate Curator of Art of the Spanish Americas\, the Thoma Foundation\nMOPA@SDMA Joan and Irwin Jacobs Theater \n  \nJoin us as Dr. Muñoz-Nájar examines the fascinating intersection of art\, colonialism\, and cultural transformation in 18th-century Amazonia. The presentation explores how Spanish administrator Lázaro de Ribera established drawing schools in the Mojos region as a tool for both “civilizing” Indigenous populations and spurring economic development. \nThe lecture highlights the remarkable work of Indigenous artists including Heugene\, Avirá\, Guayacho\, Guacayane\, Noé\, and Hojeari\, who studied and reinterpreted European masters like Carracci\, Guercino\, and Le Brun. Through their drawings\, these artists created a unique visual language that both emulated European academic traditions and subtly subverted them\, embedding their own cultural perspectives and artistic agency. \nDr. Muñoz-Nájar will demonstrate how these works served as both a bridge and a boundary between colonial authority and Indigenous expression\, revealing how artistic education became a complex space where European aesthetics were simultaneously adopted\, transformed\, and reimagined within the context of Spain’s colonial project in the Americas. \n  \nPlease note\, this lecture is in-person only and held at the state-of-the-art MOPA@SDMA Joan and Irwin Jacobs Theater in Balboa Park. \n$10 members and students | $15 seniors and military | $20 nonmembers \nSave my spot!\n  \n\nThis lecture is presented as a part of the Guest Lecture Series\, which offers a platform for renowned scholars and experts from the art world to share their insights and knowledge on topics related to art history\, art theory\, and\nthe museum’s collections. \nSponsored by The San Diego Museum of Art Docent Council.

SUMMARY:Coexistence
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, March 21\n10:00 a.m.\nSpeakers: Becky Guttin\, Artist\nMOPA@SDMA Joan and Irwin Jacobs Theater \n  \nDon’t miss hearing artist Becky Guttin as she presents a captivating exploration of cultural fusion and artistic innovation. Drawing from her unique perspective as a binational artist\, Guttin masterfully weaves together the threads of two worlds. Her artistic practice\, which includes the meticulous weaving of traditional sacks and integration of organic materials with technological components\, serves as a metaphor for the rich tapestry of borderland life. \n“I want to focus on everything positive about binationality\,” Guttin explains. “Living on the border\, one crosses back and forth\, witnessing profound experiences that go beyond language – manifesting in food\, landscape\, and ultimately\, in my work.” In her work Guttin demonstrates how seemingly contrasting elements – the organic and the mechanical\, the traditional and the modern\, the domestic and the industrial – can coexist in peaceful harmony. Her work stands as a testament to the power of embracing cultural differences and finding beauty in unexpected connections. \nExplore the intersection of art\, culture\, and identity through the eyes of an artist who has dedicated her life to bridging worlds through creativity and understanding. \n  \nPlease note\, this lecture is in-person only and held at the state-of-the-art MOPA@SDMA Joan and Irwin Jacobs Theater in Balboa Park. \n$10 members and students | $15 seniors and military | $20 nonmembers \nSave my spot!\n  \n  \n\nThis lecture is presented as a part of the Guest Lecture Series\, which offers a platform for renowned scholars and experts from the art world to share their insights and knowledge on topics related to art history\, art theory\, and\nthe museum’s collections. \nSponsored by The San Diego Museum of Art Docent Council.

SUMMARY:Dynamic Equilibrium: Berenice Abbott’s Documentary of the Invisible
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, March 15\n10:00 a.m. PT\nSpeakers: Sarah M. Miller\, Ph.D.\, Professor of Art History\, Mills College at Northeastern University\nMOPA@SDMA Joan and Irwin Jacobs Theater \n  \nThe San Diego Museum of Art Docent Council is excited to welcome Sarah M. Miller\, Ph.D.\, who will explore how photographer Berenice Abbott’s unique theory of documentary photography was shaped by her experience amidst Europe’s photographic avant-gardes and her collaboration with American art critic Elizabeth McCausland. Abbott put this theory into practice in her WPA-sponsored project Changing New York (1935-39). But when she published the project in book form in 1939\, it was subjected to editorial censorship that made it impossible for readers understand its scope\, creativity\, message\, and political implications. Having recently reconstructed the photographer’s suppressed original manuscript for the book\, Miller will discuss what it reveals not only about Abbott’s sophisticated photography and her analysis of New York’s built environment\, but also about 1930s contests over the very meaning of “documentary.” \n  \nSee works by Berenice Abbott after the lecture in Berenice Abbott: Changing New York\, on view at The San Diego Museum of Art in Gallery 14/15 with entry near the Panama 66 restaurant. \n  \nPlease note\, this lecture is in-person only and held at the state-of-the-art MOPA@SDMA Joan and Irwin Jacobs Theater in Balboa Park. \n$10 members and students | $15 seniors and military | $20 nonmembers \nSave my spot!\n  \n\nThis lecture is presented as a part of the Guest Lecture Series\, which focuses on works of art on view in the Museum as well as topics of interest in the broader art world.

DESCRIPTION:Friday\, November 17\n10:00 a.m. PT\nSpeakers: James Balog\, Artist\nMOPA@SDMA Joan and Irwin Jacobs Theater \n  \nJames Balog: Photographs from the Anthropocene\, on view through March 10\, 2024\, at the Museum of Photographic Arts at The San Diego Museum of Art (MOPA@SDMA)\, showcases a series of photographs that describes the ancient cyclical patterns of the earth’s life forms and the impact of human activity. For four decades\, James Balog has studied ancient cultural assumptions about the relationship between human nature and the rest of nature. Blending art and science\, Balog’s photographs deliver profound new insights about the environment today. \nThe current epoch of geologic time is known as the “Anthropocene” to reflect the pervasive and enduring traces of human activity left on the Earth. Through innovative imagery\, his projects interpret significant aspects of what has changed\, what’s survived\, and what changes are projected for the future. His photographs reveal nature’s dazzling beauty and its capacity for destruction. \nHis exhibition has been co-organized by the Earth Vision Institute and the Foundation for the Exhibition of Photography\, Minneapolis/Paris/Lausanne\, in association with the Museum of Photographic Arts at The San Diego Museum of Art. \n  \nPlease note\, this lecture is in-person only and held at the state-of-the-art MOPA@SDMA Joan and Irwin Jacobs Theater. \n$10 members and students | $15 seniors and military | $20 nonmembers \nSave my spot!\n  \n\nThis lecture is presented as a part of the Guest Lecture Series\, which focuses on works of art on view in the Museum as well as topics of interest in the broader art world.

Each subject has their own story\, their own dreams and desires and worries.” \nLocal artist Carlo Miranda (Filipino-American\, b. 1988) showcases ten recent paintings in his intimate exhibition\, Carlo Miranda: In Search of Sonder\, on view at The San Diego Museum of Art through November 19\, 2023. His personal and hyperrealistic portraits\, painted in oil on panel\, depict those closest to him: his family\, his friends\, his barber. \nJoin Miranda and Anita Feldman\, Deputy Director for Curatorial Affairs\, for an in-person conversation as they discuss Miranda’s life and the inspiration for his exhibition at the Museum. Hear too about Miranda’s process in creating his signature hyperrealistic portraits and how he aims to help viewers develop empathy toward his subjects or even construct imaginary stories of their lives. \n  \nPlease note\, this lecture is in-person only and held at the state-of-the-art MOPA@SDMA Joan and Irwin Jacobs Theater. \n$10 members and students | $15 seniors and military | $20 nonmembers \nSave my spot!\n  \n\nThis lecture is presented as a part of the Guest Lecture Series\, which focuses on works of art on view in the Museum as well as topics of interest in the broader art world.

DESCRIPTION:Friday\, September 15\n10:00 a.m. PT\nSpeakers: Mohammad Barrangi\, Artist; Ladan Akbarnia\, Ph.D.\, Curator of South Asian and Islamic Art\, The San Diego Museum of Art; and Roshi Rahnama\, Founder and Director of ADVOCARTSY\, an Iranian contemporary art platform and gallery\nVirtual Event \n  \nGain new insights in contemporary Iranian art through UK-based Iranian artist Mohammad Barrangi\, whose layered artistic practice combines contemporary printmaking with Iranian illustrated manuscript traditions to explore narratives about personal experience and identity as well as more universal themes. Much of the artist’s repertoire carries an extra layer relating directly to his experience as an immigrant trying to find their way in a diasporic world\, but all of Barrangi’s work is layered with elements added at random in a deliberate manner to create the final collage. The Museum acquired Migration\, its first work by Barrangi\, in 2021 with funds raised by the Museum’s Patrons of the Arts of Iran and the Persian Cultural Center (PCC) of San Diego.  \n\nHear the artist in conversation with Ladan Akbarnia\, Ph.D.\, Curator of South Asian and Islamic Art at the Museum\, and Roshi Rahnama\, Founder and Director of ADVOCARTSY\, an Iranian contemporary art platform and gallery. After a brief introduction of the artist and Ms. Rahnama\, Dr. Akbarniawill present questions and topics for discussion with the artist about his work and artistic practice\, including an opportunity to introduce an upcoming live art installation by Barrangi in October.  \n  \n\nSave your spot for the online guest lecture by clicking on this link.
