SUMMARY:Transformative Currents: Art and Action in the Pacific Ocean 
DESCRIPTION:Transformative Currents: Art and Action in the Pacific Ocean examines the historical causes and ongoing effects of the cultural and environmental devastation of the Pacific Ocean and harnesses art’s potential to enact positive ecological change\, both planetary and local. Covering nearly one-third of the earth’s surface\, the Pacific Ocean is home to thousands of interconnected peoples\, species\, and ecosystems—all under threat from climate change\, industrial pollution\, and overfishing. Works in diverse media by 21 contemporary artists and collaborative teams are organized around the theme of ocean currents\, which traverse the Pacific and suggest fluidity\, interconnectivity\, and collective responsibility.\n\n\n\nEach project addresses a specific issue affecting the oceanic environment; together\, they highlight the interdependency of resources and the impact of local actions on global problems. At a time when the health of the Pacific Ocean is in a fragile and volatile state\, Transformative Currents: Art and Action in the Pacific Ocean unites art\, science\, and Indigenous knowledge systems to raise awareness and improve coastal conditions. In addition to the Oceanside exhibition\, there will be two satellite presentations at the (OCMA) in Costa Mesa and the in Newport Beach.\n\n\n\nOceanside Museum of Art 704 Pier View Way Oceanside\, CA 92054\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Wonders of Creation: Art\, Science\, and Innovation in the Islamic World
DESCRIPTION:Wonders of Creation explores intersections of art and science in Islamic intellectual and visual culture from the 8th century to the present day\, using the lens of “wonder” as defined by a celebrated 13th-century Islamic cosmography\, an influential text describing the wonders of the universe. Written in Arabic and Persian by the scholar Zakariyya ibn Muhammad al-Qazwini (d. 1283)\, The Wonders of Creation and Rarities of Existence catalogues the marvels of the universe in a single\, richly illustrated book. The text contains anecdotes about the wondrous qualities of the natural world and its inhabitants\, all created by God. Beginning with the stars and heavens\, it then travels across the earth to conclude with humanity and its crafts and traditions.\n\n\n\nSeptember 7\, 2024–January 5\, 2025 The San Diego Museum of Art 1450 El Prado Balboa Park\, San Diego\, CA\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Blue Gold: The Art and Science of Indigo
DESCRIPTION:Blue Gold: The Art and Science of Indigo is among more than 70 exhibitions and programs presented as part of Getty’s 2024 PST ART initiative. Returning in September 2024 with its latest edition\, PST ART: Art & Science Collide\, this landmark regional event explores the intersections of art and science. The heart of PST ART is always the distinctive cultural identity of Southern California and the universal hunger for artistic and intellectual discovery.\n\n\n\nIndigo\, a varied plant family that grows worldwide and the deep\, blue dye it produces\, has a long and multifaceted history of cultivation\, production\, and distribution. Indigo is everywhere – in Japanese kimonos\, West African traditional garments\, saris from India\, and painted onto architectural structures in the southern United States. Blue Gold combines craft\, science\, and history to explore this color’s complex past and present. Featuring stunning objects of creative expression coupled with the astonishing study of a chemical reaction\, this exhibition presents indigo as a compelling manifestation of art and science. Indigo’s beauty and ubiquity have eclipsed the unpleasant realities of its growth and manufacture\, including hard labor and pollution and its association with colonialism and slavery. This exhibition highlights the importance of nuanced conversations that celebrate beauty without skipping over a grim past. Discover the roles of botany\, chemistry\, ecology\, and economics in indigo cultivation and dive into a deeper appreciation for blue hues. Through workshops and talks led by local artists\, including a Master Craftsman Lecture with Porfirio Gutiérrez and Dyeing Classes with Sarah Winston\, be immersed in the world of indigo. There is magic in the transformation from plant to pigment.

SUMMARY:MARSHALL TOOMEY: BLACK AMERICANA
DESCRIPTION:Marshall describes his work as autobiographical. “My own style is blended with traditional techniques to create an enriched view of the life I’ve experienced. I placed myself in the scene along with other characters from my life. I am taking a look at the positives in everyday life; the perspectives\, traditions\, and routines of being outside of the struggles.\nMy paintings represent moments in time. I aim for realism with incredible vitality—they feel almost alive. I like to paint portraits\, animals\, and food. I have always had a drive to be the best artist I could be. I continue to constantly look at the masters of art in magazines and books\, and study every cartoonist I see.\nThis first solo show is an extremely important step early in my fine art career. Telling a NEW story is my goal. Museums need a different look at history for people to see that there is always more to the story.”\nToomey’s mission is to make art for the masses. His early childhood goal was to have a successful syndicated comic strip running daily in every newspaper in the world. Although he sent hundreds of submissions to syndicates into his young adult years\, he never got picked up. Although he had to let go of that particular dream\, he never gave up on dreaming altogether and at 24-years-old he bought a one-way ticket to Hollywood\, California. Toomey went on to become a successful animator with a 40-year career as a professional artist\, including 20 years at Walt Disney Animation Studios. His credits include participation in Aladdin (1992)\, The Lion King (1994)\, The Hunchback of the Notre Dame (1996)\, and Hercules (1997). He also illustrated many books\, including The Lion King book created after the movie.\nToomey was born in 1953 and raised in Kansas City\, Missouri. He was selected for this solo exhibition as the Grand Prize winner in OMA’s 2023 Artist Alliance Biennial\, for his painting The Shop.\nOceanside Museum of Art\n704 Pier View Way\nOceanside\, CA 92054\n \n \n
