Beyond Limits: Postglobal Mediations
Opening Reception SATURDAY OCTOBER 4, 2014 6 – 8pm
The San Diego Art Institute (SDAI) is pleased to present “Beyond Limits: Postglobal Mediations” opening at our gallery space in Balboa Park. This exhibition will explore the boundless confluence between art, life, and technology in a post-global society.
Curated by SDAI Executive Director Ginger Shulick Porcella and Brazilian curator Denise Carvalho, this exhibition will demonstrate that the future of the arts lies on a borderless, multidimensional circuit of experimentation. Featuring both local and international artists, “Beyond Limits” will bypass all borders that create hierarchies or limit the exchange of ideas. The exhibition will run through November 15, 2014 and will feature a series of lectures, performances, and video screenings.
“Beyond Limits” is an exhibition in which artists have envisioned a world without boundaries—whether physical, racial, technological, or psychological. “Beyond Limits” will bypass all national representations and increase the focus on a multinational, multicultural, multi-identity, multimedia, and multi-language based society. This exhibition is held in tandem with the international Mediational Biennale, occurring in parallel exhibitions in distinct international venues and museums including the Mediations Biennale in Poznan, Poland; Museo de la Ciudad, Uruguay; Petah Tikva Museum in Israel; MareArticum—Baltic Contemporary Art Biennale, Nakanajo Biennale, Japan; and the Kunsthall Faust in Hanover, Germany.
