EXHIBITIONS ON VIEW

Barry McGee: SB Mid Summer Intensive
On view July 1 – October 14, 2018MCASB is pleased to present Barry McGee: SB Mid Summer Intensive, a solo exhibition featuring a sprawling installation of paintings, drawings, and sculptural objects by San Francisco, CA-based artist Barry McGee. McGee embraces improvisation as a guiding principle in his work, finding a balance between chaos and meticulous attention to detail. Constellations and groupings of drawings and sculptures are juxtaposed against found objects, ephemera, and collected works by other artists. McGee’s multilayered imagery is born out of elements of the urban experience, including issues of identity, homelessness, and pointed critiques on consumerism and commercialism. More »

MCASB Satellite @ Hotel Indigo Andy Coolquitt: …i need a hole in my head, presented in partnership with Hotel Indigo Santa Barbara, is an exhibition featuring a major commission of new works by Andy Coolquitt. The Austin, TX-based artist has generated a vibrant body of work that includes paintings, sculptures, and video which he uses to form connections between some of the juxtapositional aspects of a place that is simultaneously private and public, homelike and commercial, an exhibition venue and a hotel.
