EXIT PARTY > UP FOR AUCTION

Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego

Thursday, Mar 22, 2018 – 7:00 PM-10:00 PM

MCASD Downtown, Jacobs Building

Prepare for an evening of experimentation and imagination at MCASD’s eXit pARTy series. With hands-on activities, performance art, cocktails, and more, MCASD’s eXit pARTies offer MCASD Members new ways to experience contemporary art.

In anticipation of the Museum’s largest fundraiser, the 2018 Art Auction, you’re invited to join fellow Members and art enthusiasts for a special preview party one week prior to the main event. At eXit pARTy > Up for Auction, guests will enjoy spotlight tours of artworks that will be auctioned off at Art Auction 2018 on March 28. This year’s selection includes works by local favorites and international stars.

Among the works up for auction is the work pictured above by Mark Moore Fine Art artist, Tim Bavington.

eXit pARTy > Up for Auction will kick off with a panel discussion called Collecting 101: Living with Art, where you can learn the ins and outs of collecting from the experts.

San Diego-based artist Max Robert Daily will present a special performance of Plaza De Toros and Querencia. In this two-part performance, Daily conjures the image of a bullfight, embodying the personas of both bull and matador. The performance includes participatory elements, and viewers are invited to walk the bullfighting ring.

As an artist working in visual art and performance, Daily’s practice incorporates media ranging from drawing and sculpture to puppetry and mime. He attended the prestigious Cotsen Center for Puppetry at CalArts, and is the proprietor of Oslo, a sardine bar-cum-installation artwork at Bread & Salt in Barrio Logan.

As always, Museum partner A SHIP IN THE WOODS will curate a cutting edge music line-up, and Snake Oil will be on hand with seasonal craft cocktails.

eXit pARTies are free for Members and $25 for non-members.

MMFA Artist AMY ELKINS is currently featured in Aperture  magazine’s “Prison Nation” issue.

https://aperture.org/exhibition/prison-nation-2018/

Incarceration impacts all of us. “Americans, even those who have never been to a prison or had a relative in prison, need to realize that we are all implicated in a form of governance that uses prison as a solution to many social, economic, and political problems,” the Curator, Nicole Fleetwood, notes. Empathy and political awareness are essential to creating systemic change—and through Aperture magazine, and the accompanying exhibition and public programming, “Prison Nation” may provoke us to see parts of ourselves in the lives of those on the inside.

In “Black is the Day, Black is the Night”, a project that spanned seven years from 2009-2016, Amy Elkins explores how the notion of passing time can affect an individual’s psychology, sense of self, and perception of reality.
