Brenda Biondo: Play At San Diego Museum Of Art

By Leave a Comment

San Diego Museum of Art presents Brenda Biondo: Play, an exhibition that brings together 25 photographs by the Denver-based photographer.

The first series, Playground, is a collection of contemporary photographs of children’s playgrounds from the 1920s to the 1970s, which have been published in “Once Upon a Playground: A Celebration of Classic American Playgrounds.” These images capture the nostalgic cultural artifacts that shaped generations of Americans in an effort to preserve their place in history as most are now considered safety hazards.

The second series of works, “Paper Skies,” includes carefully crafted, abstract images of the sky printed onto aluminum panels. These images are created by printing photographs of blue sky, gray clouds and warm sunsets, and cutting, folding, and re-photographing them against the sky.

The exhibition will be on view July 1, 2017 to Jan. 7, 2018. For additional information call (619) 232-7931.

$8 – $15
