Picked RAW Peeled, “June Round-UP,” by Patricia Frischer, June 18, 2017.

Oh my, there are so many good exhibitions on right now and it was hard to limit myself to just these four plus

the New Contemporaries exhibition in Barrio Logan at cmcuratorial/basileIE.

Extra-Ordinary Collusion is on view through July 2 at San Diego Art Institute, 1439 El Prado, Balboa Park.

Hours: 10 a. m. to 5 p. m. Tuesday-Saturday; noon to 5 p. m. Sunday, Admission: Free-$5.

Discussion artist/scientist teams, 6-8 p. m. June 28. More info: 619.236.0011.

I am not even going to try to explain the relationship and subjects of all these collaborations between

artists and scientists. Works about cancer and aging were prevalent. Some of the artists developed a great connection

and collaboration. others were truly just inspired by the research of the scientists. But the quality of the artists

chosen to participate was so high, that the show is a winner. I take pride in knowing that almost all of these artists

have been either SD Art Prize recipients or included in our New Contemporaries annual exhibitions.
