Insiders Series: Exhibition Tour With Artist Melissa Walter

Members at the Supporter level or above, register here. Or, please contact Rebecca Crosbie, Membership Coordinator, to learn more and participate: rebecca@icasandiego.org.

Join us at ICA San Diego’s North campus in Encinitas from 6:00-7:30 PM for a special behind the scenes look at the curatorial process! Enjoy a drink and vegan bites followed by a tour with Melissa Walter and ICA’s Curator, Jordan Karney Chaim during the installation of Walter’s upcoming exhibition, Plexus!

San Diego-based artist Melissa Walter (b.1976, Providence, RI) uses abstraction to translate complex scientific concepts into intimate and accessible visual experiences. Alongside works on paper, Plexus introduces ceramic sculpture and video into Walter’s practice as she continues her investigations into DNA identification technology and its application to criminal and civil laws. Walter packs a wealth of information into highly detailed yet restrained compositions that illuminate the profound effects that DNA analysis can have on increasing equity in the American criminal justice system.

You can now register, here! This tour is reserved for members holding a Supporter ($500) membership and above, plus one guest.  If you have any questions about the tour, feel free to reach out to Rebecca at 760-436-6611 x203.
