| Event Description |
The San Diego Museum of Art is launching its first ever-virtual exhibition, Juan Sánchez Cotán and Cauleen Smith: Mystical Time and Deceptive Light, which will be available for online viewing beginning June 18. The exhibition features a video installation by Cauleen Smith, an interdisciplinary artist whose work reflects upon the everyday possibilities of the imagination. The exhibition was originally scheduled to open this past March inside the Museum’s galleries.
Smith became captivated by the work after a visit to the Museum, and her profound connection with this work resulted in her creation of Flori Canta to address the questions posed by the master more than 400 years ago. Flori Canta runs on a 30-minute continuous loop, punctuated at five-minute intervals by the voices of women—from Nina Simone to Mary J. Blige—singing about flowers. |
