SELECTIONS FROM THE PERMANENT COLLECTION
ON VIEW 6/4/2016 THROUGH 9/4/2016This summer presentation of permanent collection works highlights the strengths of the Museum’s holdings, including Minimalist and Pop works of the 1960s and 1970s, as well as more recent acquisitions. This exhibition showcases both the historical focus of the Museum, as well as its dedication to living artists.
Selections from the Permanent Collection is organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego and is made possible by generous lead underwriting support from The Cochrane Exhibition Fund. Additional funding has been provided by Fenner Milton. Institutional support of MCASD is provided by the City of San Diego Commission for Arts and Culture and the County of San Diego Community Enhancement Fund.
PROSPECT 2016
ON VIEW 6/4/2016 THROUGH 9/4/2016Each year, MCASD’s curatorial staff organizes an exhibition of works, entitled Prospect, to be considered for acquisition by the the Museum’s Collector Circle Members. One or more of these works are then selected by ballot at the Annual Selection Dinner. Funding by the International and Contemporary Collectors has allowed MCASD’s curators vital support to discover new artists, enrich the MCASD collection, and build an engaged and informed community of collectors in San Diego.
Prospect 2016 is organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, with funding provided by MCASD’s International and Contemporary Collectors and the 2016 Biennial Art Auction. Institutional support for MCASD is provided by the City of San Diego Commission for Arts and Culture and the County of San Diego Community Enhancement Fund.
DAMON DAVIS: ALL HANDS ON DECK
ON VIEW 6/4/2016 THROUGH 7/24/2016Damon Davis is a St. Louis-based artist whose work addresses social issues and spans a range of mediums. In All Hands On Deck, Davis photographed individuals in Ferguson, Missouri, with their “hands up,” recalling the gesture of Michael Brown before his death, and transforming it into a powerful symbol of peaceful protest. The hands of people of various ages and races highlight the diversity of the support for the protest and the importance of collective action. The photographs, initially printed in mass quantities, were wheat-pasted on boarded up buildings—businesses that had been broken into during public unrest. As media coverage of the events in Ferguson increased, Davis’ images of solidarity were seen in the background of the events that continued throughout the year.
Damon Davis: All Hands on Deck is organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego. Institutional support of MCASD is provided by the City of San Diego Commission for Arts and Culture and the County of San Diego Community Enhancement Fund. E

ED RUSCHA THEN & NOW: PAINTINGS FROM THE 1960s AND 2000s
CLOSING 4/24/2016
An innovator of West-Coast Pop and Conceptual Art, Ed Ruscha’s work defies and exceeds both
categories, drawing upon popular media, commercial culture, and the landscape of Los Angeles.
This tailored exhibition considers the artist’s use of recurring words, images, and themes across
the decades.
Ed Ruscha Then & Now: Paintings from the 1960s and 2000s is organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego and made
possible by generous lead underwriting support from Pauline Foster. Institutional support of MCASD is provided by the City of San Diego
Commission for Arts and Culture and the County of San Diego Community Enhancement Fund.
ÁLVARO BLANCARTE: MARKING THE PRESENT
CLOSING 4/24/2016
For more than six decades, Álvaro Blancarte has mined the topography of Baja California and
defined the artistic landscape of the region with his mark. This exhibition presents more than
60 recent abstract paintings by the Tecate-based artist, depicting the idyllic landscape of Baja
California and passionate gestures evocative of the magic realism of Latin American literature.
Álvaro Blancarte: Marking the Present is organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego and made possible by generous
in-kind support from el Centro Cultural Tijuana through the Secretariat of Culture of Mexico. Institutional support of MCASD is provided
by the City of San Diego Commission for Arts and Culture and the County of San Diego Community Enhancement Fund.

DELIMITATIONS: A SURVEY OF THE 1821 UNITED STATES-MEXICO BORDER
ON VIEW 7/22/2016 THROUGH 11/27/2016
In 2014, artists Marcos Ramírez ERRE and David Taylor set out to trace the historical 1821
border between Mexico and the western territories of the United States. That border stretched
from the present-day Oregon/California state line to the Gulf of Mexico just west of Louisiana,
and previously existed only as a reference on historic maps and treaty documents because it
had never been surveyed or physically marked. For DeLIMITations, ERRE and Taylor asked the
question, “what would Mexico and the United States look like if that boundary had been fully
realized?” ERRE and Taylor, accompanied by filmmaker José Inerzia, who helped document
the process, drove a van outfitted to serve as a mobile command center, fabrication space, and
camper along the 1821 border. The artists marked the boundary by installing 47 sheet metal
markers that mimic the stone and iron obelisks that delineate the current international border
between the United States and Mexico.
DeLIMITations: A Survey of the 1821 United States-Mexico Border is organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego and
made possible by proceeds from the 2016 Biennial Art Auction. Institutional support of MCASD is provided by the City of San Diego
Commission for Arts and Culture and the County of San Diego Community Enhancement Fund. MA

RUBEN OCHOA: WATCHING, WAITING, COMMISERATING
ON VIEW 7/22/2016 THROUGH 11/27/16
Ruben Ochoa makes use of common construction materials to create imposing sculptural
installations that intervene into the existing built environment. His sculptures—in addition to his
drawings, photography, and public projects—move beyond the materials’ direct references to
construction and labor in order to generate new associations between aesthetics, architecture,
and class.
Part of a generation of Mexican-American artists who are engaging in new approaches to identity
and cultural politics, Ochoa lays claim to conceptual and minimal art practices from the 1960s
and ‘70s. As playful as it is dynamic, his large-scale installation watching, waiting, commiserating
was commissioned by MCASD in 2010 as a response to the expansive Farrell Gallery. Consisting of
numerous individual sculptures made of rebar and elevated shipping pallets, the work repurposes
the infrastructure of the built environment, creating a space where labor is both literally enacted
and abstractly referenced.
Ruben Ochoa: watching, waiting, commiserating is organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego and made possible by proceeds
from the 2016 Biennial Art Auction. Institutional support of MCASD is provided by the City of San Diego Commission for Arts and Culture and
the County of San Diego Community Enhancement Fund.
MORIS: BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPE 7: BEATINGS, HARD BREAD AND COLD-WATER BATHS
ON VIEW 7/22/2016 THROUGH 11/27/2016
In his Hermoso Paisaje series, Moris creates makeshift shelters and furniture using found materials
such as garbage, tarps, and cardboard. These installations are made from the material remains
of the urban landscape they recreate. Informed by art history, ethnography, and activism, the
artist’s works are almost portraits of the city, capturing their wastefulness. In this site-specific
work created for the MCASD exhibition Viva la Revolución in 2011, Moris references the utilitarian
recycling of societies where inhabitants are forced to reuse materials due to unsustainable growth
and eroding infrastructure. Moris draws on tarps by erasing and washing away dirt and soot to
reveal various cultural and architectural images.
Moris: Beautiful Landscape 7: Beatings, Hard Bread and Cold-Water Baths is organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego
and made possible by proceeds from the 2016 Biennial Art Auction. Institutional support of MCASD is provided by the City of San Diego
Commission for Arts and Culture and the County of San Diego Community Enhancement Fund.

PAPEL CHICANO DOS: WORKS ON PAPER FROM THE COLLECTION OF CHEECH MARIN
ON VIEW 7/22/2016 THROUGH 11/27/2016
Papel Chicano Dos: Works on Paper from the Collection of Cheech Marin presents artworks by
Chicano artists including established figures such as Carlos Almaraz, John Valadez, and Margaret
Garcia, as well as younger emerging artists such as Wenceslao Quiroz and Carlos Donjuan, whose
work demonstrates a range of techniques from watercolor and aquatint to pastel and mixed media.
The visual arts were integral to the Chicano movement of the mid-1960s and continue to be a
powerful tool for Mexican-American and Chicano communities to voice the issues that affect them
today. The works’ emotive images draw on myriad sources, such as pre-Hispanic symbols, post-
revolutionary nationalistic Mexican motives, and contemporary urban culture. Together these
pieces evince a special focus on activism—highlighting how Chicano artists provide access to the
arts by creating posters, flyers, printed statements, and newsletters with elaborate aesthetic
compositions and designs.
By the late 1970s and early 1980s, Chicano artists were creating iconic images that transcended
their activist function and defined the iconography of a movement.
Papel Chicano Dos: Works on Paper from the Collection of Cheech Marin is organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego
and made possible by proceeds from the 2016 Biennial Art Auction. Institutional support of MCASD is provided by the City of San Diego
Commission for Arts and Culture and the County of San Diego Community Enhancement Fund. PA

DO HO SUH
ON VIEW THROUGH 7/4/2016
This solo exhibition by artist Do Ho Suh features work ranging from large-scale architectural
installations, to sculptures, works on paper, and video. Operating within a distinctly twenty-first
century global mode, Do Ho Suh crafts evocative works that reflect ideas of home, identity, and
personal space.
This exhibition transforms MCASD’s Jacobs Building into a maze-like installation that replicates
the artist’s apartment spaces from a single building in New York City. Created in luminous swaths
of translucent fabric, the ghostly rooms and hallways are mysteriously supported by a subtle
stainless steel armature. Three combined installations—Apartment A, 348 West 22nd Street, New
York, NY 10011, USA (2011–2012); Corridor and Staircase, 348 West 22nd Street New York, NY 10011,
USA (2011–2012); and Unit 2, 348 West 22nd Street, New York, NY 10011, USA (2014)—encourage the
public to pass through the ephemeral, dreamlike representation of the artist’s personal history.
Rendered in blocks of translucent color, the fabric walls at once conceal and reveal the details
articulated within. A long, salmon-colored corridor connects to a bright red stairway suspended
from the ceiling. In contrast to this bright, airy space, the artist’s Specimen Series (2013) is
installed in illuminated vitrines in a darkened gallery. These sculptures replicate appliances and
fixtures in exacting detail, and like the larger installations, are constructed entirely out of polyester
fabric over a stainless steel framework. The exhibition also includes a selection of works on paper,
rendered in thread, watercolor, and pencil, as well as videos and a model from Do Ho Suh’s 2012
work, Secret Garden.
Do Ho Suh is organized by The Contemporary Austin with additional support by Lehmann Maupin, New York and Hong Kong. Funding for
the San Diego presentation is made possible by generous lead underwriting by Joan and Irwin Jacobs. Additional support has been pro-
vided by Matt and Nancy Browar. Institutional support of MCASD is provided by the City of San Diego Commission for Arts and Culture
and the County of San Diego Community Enhancement Fund.

FALLEN STAR
Perched atop the seventh floor of the Jacobs
School of Engineering at the University of
California, San Diego, Do Ho Suh’s Fallen
Star has become a beloved landmark. Its
planning, however, required years of effort
and innovations in architecture, construction,
and engineering. Why did so many people
get behind such an improbable idea, and
work so hard to make it a reality? A story of
collaboration and the ways that art can surprise
you, Fallen Star: Finding Home, a documentary
by Vera Brunner-Sung and Valeria Stadler,
takes us behind the scenes in the creation of
the 18th public artwork in the Stuart Collection.
The debut of this documentary will take place
in San Diego during the exhibition Do Ho Suh
at MCASD Downtown. Details are available at
stuartcollection.ucsd.edu.

EDUCATION
MCASD’S EXTENDED SCHOOL PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM WITH HOOVER HIGH SCHOOL
The Museum’s Extended School Partnership (ESP) program empowers teachers to use the Museum
as an extension of their classroom. Over the past two years, MCASD’s Education Department has
worked with students in the Academy of Literature, Media & Arts (ALMA) program at Hoover High
School. This collaboration was made possible through the SDUSD Learning Through the Arts Title I
Initiative, designed to improve academic achievement in English and Language Arts (ELA) through
arts integration.
Throughout the partnership, MCASD’s Teaching Artist teamed up with ALMA English teachers
at Hoover High School to develop and carry out weekly lesson plans integrating the Museum’s
collection, contemporary art practices, and historical contexts into their ELA curricula. Weekly
classroom visits throughout the year allowed the Teaching Artist to foster relationships with
students, who sharpened their visual literacy skills through their visits to MCASD. The Teaching
Artist’s close working relationships with the classroom teachers and students have been integral
to this partnership’s success.
The Extended School Partnership (ESP) program at MCASD is made possible by generous underwriting support from the Farrell
Family Foundation, the ResMed Foundation, Bloomingdale’s, City of Chula Vista, and annual contributors to the MCASD Museum Fund.
Institutional support of MCASD is provided by the City of San Diego Commission for Arts and Culture and the County of San Diego
Community Enhancement Fund.

MCASD IS A SUMMER C.A.M.P.ER’S DREAM
Does your young one love to draw, paint, sculpt, or create art of any kind? MCASD offers the
perfect educational and creative retreat for your budding artist. Summer C.A.M.P. (Contemporary
Art, Media & Process) invites 5 to 17-year-olds to explore contemporary art through a series of
week-long, age-appropriate art-making workshops designed to encourage artistic expression, art
appreciation, understanding, and imagination. Led by local artist Michael Ano, C.A.M.P.ers will
discover out-of-the-ordinary materials and learn about artists’ processes as they discuss art-
work in the Museum’s La Jolla galleries and Edwards Family Sculpture Garden. Each week-long
C.A.M.P. session culminates with a showcase and celebration of the C.A.M.P.ers’ artwork. Sign your
C.A.M.P.er up today!
MEET YOUR SUMMER C.A.M.P. CONTEMPORARY ARTIST!Your C.A.M.P.er will learn from the best. Michael
Ano is an artist, educator, facilitator, writer, and
curator working on his MFA in studio art at The
University of California, San Diego. His practice
explores how we show care for those who are
near and far. He has exhibited at a number of
galleries and museums in California and New
York, and has a passion for helping young
people explore and discover contemporary art.
August 1 through August 5 > 15 to 17-year-olds
Teen Boot C.A.M.P. is specifically designed for
C.A.M.P.ers who want to take art classes from
professional contemporary artists. Whether they’re just
beginning to explore the arts, or are ready to take their
art to the next level, we offer classes that will develop
their creativity. Hands-on sessions are complemented
with in-gallery conversations about current exhibitions,
neighborhood walks to local galleries, and visits from
guest speakers. Teen C.A.M.P.ers will learn about
conceptual art and take inspiration from artworks on
view to create their own concept-driven works. They’ll
explore installation or performance art, and develop a
piece for the public to participate in when C.A.M.P.ers
present their artworks at the end of the week.
August 8 through August 12 > 13 to 15-year-olds
C.A.M.P.ers will explore the exhibition Selections from
the Permanent Collection as well as our Edwards Family
Sculpture Garden. C.A.M.P.ers will learn to use both
analog and digital mediums to create original multimedia
art to be displayed during their culminating showcase.
August 15 through August 19 > 10 to 12-year-olds
C.A.M.P.ers will participate in a mixed media marathon,
learning how to use a different material each day of the
week as they take inspiration from artworks on view.
While exploring collage and print, C.A.M.P.ers will create
abstract art using a colorful combination of wacky and
traditional materials, paired with their own imaginations,
to construct new masterpieces. By the end of the week,
they’ll be a mixed media champion!
August 22 through August 26 > 7 to 9-year-olds
How many different sculptures can you create in one
week? C.A.M.P.ers will find out by using a variety of
different materials to produce sculptures inspired by
the Museum’s Edwards Family Sculpture Garden and
site-specific artworks. They’ll explore three-dimensional
art and learn about the many ways it can be created. At
the end of the week, these creations and the C.A.M.P.ers
themselves will become a living sculpture as they
participate in a grand finale performance!
August 29 through September 2 > 5 to 6-year-olds
C.A.M.P.ers will be exposed to multiple materials and
will learn how artists problem-solve to create expansive
installations such as Nancy Rubins’s Pleasure Point. At
the end of the week, these works will be selectively placed
around the garden grounds to celebrate the creations.

MUSEUMS CONNECT
MCASD’S TEEN ADVISORY GROUP GOES INTERNATIONALThanks to collaborative Museums Connect project
Last fall, MCASD was honored to be one of seven international recipients of the 2015-2016
Museums Connect grant award. Through this grant, 20 members from MCASD’s Teen Advisory
Group (TAG) connected with 20 teens from the Museo Tamayo in Mexico City along with two
social practice artists, to explore issues of violence in their respective communities and create
photographic and video works inspired by these discussions.
Teens in both countries are receiving ongoing mentorship from social practice artists Itzel Martinez
(Tijuana-based) and Edgardo Aragon (Oaxaca-based). Throughout the project both artists have
worked directly with the teens in full-day DocShops—programs that pair the examination of a
documentary film or video with a hands-on workshop.
For the first DocShop, participants viewed Martinez’s El Hogar Al Reves [Home Upside Down]
and learned about conducting individual and group interviews using a video camera and mobile
technology. At the second DocShop, Aragon shared his process as a video installation artist,
instructed students in a photography workshop, and screened his work Efectos de familia
[Family Effects].
Technology plays an exciting role in the project as well.
The teens are exploring issues of violence and creating
artwork using digital cameras, video cameras, and
Microsoft Surface tablets that were generously donated
by Microsoft Corporation.
In March, the teens traveled to visit their international
counterparts for a week-long exchange. MCASD hosted 10
teens from the Museo Tamayo from March 22 through 26,
and the Museo Tamayo hosted 11 teens from San Diego from
March 29 through April 1.
Like MCASD’s Facebook page to follow the teens’ experience
as the project develops!
FOCUS Youth Empowerment through Social Practice Art: Strategies for Coping with
Violence and Trauma, a Museum Connect project, is funded in part by a grant from
the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs and is administered by the American Alliance of Museums.
Additional support has been provided by The Cynthia and George Mitchell Foundation. In-kind support is generously provided by the
Microsoft Corporation.
Education programs at MCASD are made possible by major grants from Qualcomm Foundation and County of San Diego Community
Enhancement Program. Institutional support for MCASD is provided by the City of San Diego Commission for Arts and Culture.
“Projects like the Teen
Advisory Group highlight how
Surface tablets can empower
people to do great things
and we’re excited to see how
features like Digital Inking and
Cortana are used to do just
that… Microsoft is honored
to be a part of this important
initiative and help people’s
ideas come to life.”

Art supporters and party-goers joined MCASD’s Avant Garde Members for our third annual young
patrons’ fundraiser on Friday, March 4. Guests sipped rum-fueled craft cocktails as they watched
octopuses and crabs crawl along our walls and yogis hang from our ceiling. DJ’s Jeffrey Paradise and
Vaugh Avakian moved the crowd while Wild Wild Wets brought the rebellion with a raucous rock set.
A huge thank you to The Spring Thing Chairs and Avant Garde Members Touradj Barman and
Sarah Kaplan, and Matt and Allison Bell Hoyt. Their leadership and vision was absolutely key
to this fundraiser’s success.
We’re happy to report that the funds raised on March 4 will support another year of
groundbreaking exhibitions and innovative programming.
Cheers to that!

APERTURE HOME TOUR WITH ARCHITECT WALLACE CUNNINGHAM
TUESDAY, APRIL 26 > 7–9 PM > RESIDENCE OF MARIE TARTAR AND STEVE EILENBERG
MCASD Circle-level Members and above are invited to join architect Wallace Cunningham for
a reception and tour at the home of Circle Members Marie Tartar and Steve Eilenberg. The
Aperture Home is built on a bluff above San Elijo Lagoon in Cardiff-by-the-Sea. The plan—a series
of acute triangles radiating about a common point—is expressed in elevation by a roof of eight
spiraling triangles likened to the aperture of a camera lens. Its profile changes from every angle
and captures the sweeping panoramic views of the lagoon and ocean.
This event is part of the Architecture + Design Series and is open to Circle-level Members and
above. Upgrade your Membership today by contacting Senior Membership and Annual Giving
Manager April Farrell at 858 454 3541 x162 or [email protected]
