Exhibition opens June 17 at La Jolla Historical Society's Wisteria Cottage gallery
Sometimes referred to as an artwork’s first frame, the homes in which artists reside and hone their crafts can provide a glimpse into the creative process otherwise kept private.
To re-create the experience, the exhibition will transform Wisteria Cottage into rooms that might be found in the homes of four participating artists. Similarly, artist irmaSofia Poeter is an artist based in Tecate, Mexico, whom the Historical Society has commissioned to create a room-size installation that has “lots of different elements of her sculptural work,” Lockhart said.
“I think this exhibition is drawing upon a centuries-old fascination with artists’ studio spaces,” Lockhart said. “For years, theorists and some artists have said that the site where an artwork is created is the most important bite to the work. Daniel Buren wrote about the studio being the most important frame, the original frame, for the artwork.”
“I love the idea of trying to share that experience, particularly here at Wisteria Cottage because we are not a white wall, clean, modernist exhibition space,” Lockhart said. “I think that’s something that makes our Wisteria Cottage so unique and wonderful. It’s a space where there is history as a residence and as a bookstore. We have a fireplace in the main gallery, we can see the change in the elevation of the flooring that shows where the kitchen was when Virginia Scripps resided here.
