Stories from the Collection, San Jose Museum of Art
March 7 – ongoing
Tending and Dreaming: Stories from the Collection launches the first dedicated collection galleries at the San Jose Museum of Art. Providing unprecedented access to core works in San José’s only publicly held art collection, SJMA’s collection galleries position artists as storytellers to imagine the Museum as a space where culture and meaning are actively made and always in process.
Creep is an ode to the beauty, complexity, and seeking behavior of the slime mold Physarum polycephalum. Created in 2004, it was my third, but not my final, project with this stunningly gorgeous slime mold. Non-toxic dyes and time-lapse video cycles across three monitors, slightly out of sync so that new juxtapositions are constantly evolving.
