This September at Current — an exhibition of hand-crafted design — we invite you to experience the intriguing work and story of Korean designer Kwangho Lee. His rural upbringing has inspired him to apply hand-crafted techniques (knitting) to otherwise uninspired urban materials (power cables), creating transformative and sculptural lighting installations. Lee's latest creation Black Whale is preparing for migration from Seoul to San Diego: make a date to welcome it at Current this September! Additionally, the studio space in the front of The Bakery will be reimagined as "MERCANTILE", a design pop-up shop showcasing a collection of limited edition hand-crafted objects by 8 American designers and artists; including furniture pieces, prints, and hand-stitched textiles. Works by: Miki Iwasaki, Josh Higgins, Neko Burke, Gabriel Salcedo, Casey Lurie, and Philipp Bosshart, with custom denim by Luxury Death Machine, and jewelry by Cloven Hoof.

A group exhibition feature the sculptural work of Greg Brotherton, Nemo Gould, Jeremy Mayer, and Guillermo Rigattieri

Part cinematic funhouse, part film festival, the eighth annual alt.pictureshows returns in force as San Diego’s premier short-film showcase. This year, MCASD is collaborating with the newly opened San Diego State University Downtown Gallery to present a new lineup of engaging and innovative short films from around the world. During this popular, one-night-only event, portions of MCASD and SDSU’s Downtown Gallery—located on Kettner and Broadway—will be transformed into the ultimate micro-cinema where viewers are encouraged to “physically channel surf” from room to room as a selection of shorts screen on loop throughout the night. alt.pictureshows redefines the movie-going experience, allowing viewers to be in control of what films they choose to watch and when they watch them. This year’s lineup features original, live-action shorts by filmmakers such as Sara Colangelo (“Little Accident”s), Rodrigo Ojeda-Beck and Robert Machoian (“Charlie and the Rabbit”), Martin Stitt (“Family Jewels”); as well as quirky, eye-catching animated shorts by Jeff Drew (“One Square Mile of Earth”), Bastien Dubois (“Madagascar, A Journey Diary”), and many other outstanding artists. Please note that many of the program’s short films contain adult content and are not rated.
