MEMORIES OF UNDERDEVELOPMENT: ART AND THE DECOLONIAL TURN IN LATIN AMERICA, 1960-1985

ON VIEW THROUGH 2/4/18 Memories of Underdevelopment: Art and the Decolonial Turn in Latin America, 1960-1985 is a collaboration between MCASD, Museo Jumex in Mexico City, and the Museo de Arte de Lima in Peru. Presented as part Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA, a far-reaching and ambitious exploration of Latin American and Latino art in dialogue with Los Angeles, this massive exhibition fills MCASD’s downtown galleries with more than 400 works by 50 artists in 8 different countries.

The exhibition examines the ways in which Latin American artists from the 1960s to the 1980s responded to the unraveling of the utopian promise of modernization after World War II. In the immediate postwar period, artists had eagerly embraced the “transition to modernity,” creating a new abstract geometric language meant to capture its idealistic possibilities. As modernization failed, and political oppression and brutal military dictatorships followed, avant-garde artists increasingly abandoned abstraction and sought new ways to connect with the public, engaging directly with communities and often incorporating popular strategies from film, theater, and architecture into their work.

Memories of Underdevelopment: Art and the Decolonial Turn in Latin America, 1960-1985 is the first significant survey exhibition of these crucial decades and will highlight the work not only of well-known artists

, MUSEUM such as Hélio Oiticica and Lygia Pape but also lesser-known artists from Colombia, Peru, Chile, and Uruguay.

Memories of Underdevelopment: Art and the Decolonial Turn in Latin America, 1960-1985 is co-organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego and Museo Jumex, with additional assistance from Museo , 1966-1967, WOODEN de Arte de Lima.

20 21 EDUCATION & ENGAGEMENT

MCASD’S MILLENNIAL ENGAGEMENT INITIATIVES CONTINUE

Through a two-year grant from the James Irvine Foundation Exploring Engagement Fund, MCASD is collaborating with social practice artists and college and university students to experiment and test new ways of engaging millennial audiences. Earlier this summer and into the fall the Millennial Engagement initiative supported weekly workshops, seminars, and guest artist lectures held both at university and college campuses and at the Museum’s Education and Engagement Hub at 1001 Kettner Blvd., just across from our main galleries at 1100 Kettner Blvd.

Deep Time University (DTU), a project by artist Michael Ano, is an alternative learning platform that seeks to develop and share experimental learning strategies. In dialogue with the Museum, UC San Diego graduate and undergraduate students, and other special guests, DTU explored “What should the university teach you? What do you want to learn? And what do you need to know now to survive?”

The experiment started with a full-day symposium held at Ché Café, where students examined connections and content often overlooked in a traditional syllabus. This experience uncovered the need to expand and deepen the process of learning, which prompted Ano to bring the project into the Museum through the exhibition Unknowns, Unknowns, Unknowns, which presented archival materials from DTU and previous pedagogical experiments.

Through an open call, Ano formed a core group of 12 millennial learners made up of PhD candidates, artists, cultural producers, and recent graduates. From August 31 through November 2, 2017, the group engaged in DTU: Intersession, a series of 10 weekly seminars exploring the following topics: occupying space, coping with trauma, and sustainable practices. Examining works NEW HOURS AT 1001 in the collection and exhibitions on view, and engaging in conversation with practicing artists, DTU students developed a space of cultural enrichment that allowed them to develop workshops KETTNER BLVD. offered to Museum guests during Downtown at Sundown.

24 25 ART OASIS

THERAPEUTIC ARTOASIS PROGRAM IMPROVES LIVES IN MILITARY COMMUNITY

On Thursday, November 9, MCASD celebrated the work of active duty armed forces members who engaged in a series of weekly art classes and visits to the Museum to produce original works of art as a means of coping with the effects of combat-related stress.

At this special ArtOASIS Showcase event, program participants shared their stories and the impact the program has had on their lives. Panelists included retired Navy Seal Robert (Bob) Augello, Combat Arts founder Elizabeth Washburn, artist Perry Vazquez, and artist and former OASIS participant Aaron Reihner, who spoke to the cognitive benefits of the program. “I had these preconceived notions about what art was. I finally was able to slow down…and get my demons out on the canvas,” said Reihner, who discovered the ArtOASIS program after serving two tours in Iraq with the Marines.

During the panel, Augello spoke at length to the benefits of emotional expression through artistic expression, and its ability to transform lives. “Art expression works wonders in this environment. It helps people go from victim to survivor.”

The ArtOASIS program is a comprehensive art-based program that supports the recovery of active military personnel overcoming Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). MCASD partners with Combat Arts, a local nonprofit organization that provides art experiences for combat troops, to facilitate the program. Participants engage in a series of weekly art classes and visits to the Museum to produce original works of art as a means of coping with the effects of combat-related stress.

Program participants’ artwork will be on display at MCASD Downtown through January 31, 2018, including three works installed in the Museum’s breezeway.

MCASD is committed to serving the families of service men and women. In addition to the ArtOASIS program, the Museum offers free year-round admission to all members of the military and their families.

The ArtOASIS Program is proudly supported by the California Arts Council and the Seeley Foundation. Additional funding has been provided by annual contributors to the MCASD Museum Fund, the City of San Diego Commission for Arts and Culture, and the County of
