For more than 15 years, the San Diego Visual Arts Network has presented the San Diego Art Prize to bring greater awareness to the quality of visual arts in the region
Soon after her arrival in San Diego in the late 1990s, Patricia Frischer made her way to the Museum of Contemporary Art. There, Frischer asked for a visual arts directory — an authoritative almanac of art classes, services and professionals in the region.
Frischer went on to found and coordinate the San Diego Visual Arts Network , an online directory and calendar of visual arts events. For more than 15 years, SDVAN has also presented the San Diego Art Prize; inspired by the British Turner Prize, the award aims to bring greater awareness to the quality of visual arts in San Diego.“It was to escalate — in the same way as the Turner Prize did — the distinction and the excellence of work by artists in San Diego,” Frischer said.
From Oct. 28, 2023, through Jan. 13, 2024, the four artists’ works will be showcased at the San Diego Central Library Gallery in an exhibition, curated by Lara Bullock, senior civic art manager for the city of San Diego.Much of the Turner Prize-nominated artist’s work is of an ephemeral nature — relying on organic materials to construct site-specific installations. The result is a body of work that often has its own lifetime within an exhibition period, Bullock said.
For the “Being Here With You/ Estando aquí contigo” exhibition at Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in 2018, the artist piled pots, coolers, branches and other materials on top of each other to cast a 17-foot-tall pillar-shaped sculpture.
