Pleased to announce the acquisition by Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego of six foot painting, Toucan (2016).

Founded in 1941 as The Art Center in La Jolla, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) has evolved into an organization of national and international renown. The collection includes more than 4,000 works created since 1950, and reflects an artistic program that encourages promising emerging artists and recognizes mid-career artists whose work deserves more visibility. The Museum serves the region as a vital cultural and civic asset, with contemporary art and living artists at its core.

Artist Reception: Saturday, July 16, 3-5 PM

CULT | Aimee Friberg Exhibitions is pleased to present She Moonage Daydream, an exhibition exploring fantasmas, gender aesthetics, identity tropes, and the female versus male gaze. In honor of gender fluid favorite - David Bowie, the exhibition is titled after his 1971 single Moonage Daydream. The song tells of an alien messiah whose fate as a 'soul lover' was to save the world from impending doom.

Keep your 'lectric eye on me babe
Put your ray gun to my head
Press your space face close to mine, love
Freak out in a moonage daydream oh yeah
Freak out, far out, in out

(Bowie, 1971)
