2021 Graduating MFA Exhibition
April 23 - May 30, 2021
San Diego Art Institute, Balboa Park

Open for in-person visits by appointment!
Through a fusion of historical knowledge with contemporary analysis, artists both reflect on current challenges and envision a hopeful, speculative future. The last year has delivered unparalleled challenges, as well as, inspiration to respond to them. The graduating students from the University of California, San Diego Department of Visual Arts graduate program have endured a time of video conferencing, stay-at-home orders, and limited access to campus facilities. In terms of making art, this is not ideal. However, they have overcome these obstacles to produce an outstanding selection of works that will be displayed at the San Diego Art Institute (SDAI) this April and May.Joel Slayton

The Revenge of the Real: Politics for a Post-Pandemic World
By Professor Benjamin Bratton
The Revenge of the Real envisions a new positive biopolitics that recognizes that governance is literally a matter of life and death. We are grappling with multiple interconnected dilemmas--climate change, pandemics, the tensions between the individual and society--all of which have to be addressed on a planetary scale. Bratton argues that instead of thinking of biotechnologies as something imposed on society, we must see them as essential to a politics of infrastructure, knowledge, and direct intervention. In this way, we can build a society based on a new rationality of inclusion, care, and prevention.
