Robert Therrien > DOWNTOWN, 1001 KETTNER BLVD.

Robert Therrien examines and reinvents forms using different materials, varied surfaces, and layers of color, producing sculpture that resides somewhere between representation and abstraction. His 1992 sculpture No Title (Blue Cloud) is on view in the Fayman Gallery in the 1001 Kettner building.

 

Allison Schulnik: Forest > DOWNTOWN, 1001 KETTNER BLVD.

San Diego-born, Los Angeles-based artist Allison Schulnik creates paintings, sculptures, and animated videos populated by a cast of marginal, otherworldly characters that include hobos, clowns, sailors, and mermaids.  Schulnik, who studied experimental animation at California Institute of the Arts, was commissioned by the Brooklyn-based band Grizzly Bear to create Forest as the music video for their song Ready, Able from the album Veckatimest (2009).

From the Collection: Work of the 1970s  > DOWNTOWN, JACOBS BUILDING

On view in the Foster Gallery, this selection of art works, primarily from the 1970s, highlights objects from the Museum’s collection that emphasize materiality, showcase process, and leave room for variability and imperfection.  Materials such as clay, caulking, resin, plaster, tape, and acrylic sheeting are all used in unexpected ways.
