Matt Stallings “Strange Calculus” and Matt Forderer “Sweet Emotions”
Plus the first in an ongoing series of dynamic outdoor light sculptures by architect/artist Adrian Sierra Garcia. Video above courtesy of Kaarin Vaughn
CM Curatorial and basileIE is a joint space in Barrio Logan near Chicano Park. Chris Martino is curating both rooms that are connected and both have huge garage doors that open to the street. The first show was of his own work and the work of Paul Basile (basileIE) and the second show is the two Matts...Stallings and Forderer. All the work has an aesthetic that seems to tie it together but is still in the process of being defined. There is a large degree of pop culture, lots of graphic design skill (Chris himself is a graphic designer), bags of humor and this is overlayed with a political agenda and more than a touch or surrealism.
We enjoyed both of these shows and will be looking forward to seeing a range of other artists, including some women and hopefully some members of the Chicano art muralist movement. After all, you are in their hood.
