| Event Description |
Lux Art Institute, San Diego’s interactive art destination, hosts its monthly Lux @ Night - an evening of cocktails, art, and merriment, amidst Lux’s four-acre site that overlooks the San Elijo Lagoon and an expansive wildlife preserve that stretches to the Pacific Ocean.
Tonight, visitors have the opportunity to meet Lux’s new artist-in-residence, Daniel Wheeler. Once called a “free-form cultural anthropologist,” Wheeler, who has produced installations, drawings, photographs, and sculptures for the last twenty years, uses the Southern California landscape to capture a sensory experience of our surroundings.
While enjoying music and refreshments, guests can view Wheeler’s exhibit, GULP (Generative Urban Landscape Project). Debuting at Lux, GULP is a series of oversized photographs taken from within swimming pools that provide a thoughtful perspective of the sky and greenery above. Visitors will also have the opportunity to view a DVD in the studio that serves as a visual narrative of Wheeler in the midst of creating the striking images seen in GULP.
At Lux, visitors don’t just see art, they “see art happen,” for an interactive art experience. Artists live and work on site, while producing a commissioned work of art. Throughout the year, Lux invites significant regional, national, and international artists to participate in the Lux residency and encourages visitors from across the country to observe and engage with them.
