BLM | UCSD VIS ARTS

3B Collective installation video.

“The gesture was created by MFAs and faculty and in dialogue with the VIS Arts department. This was an action as an internal reflection on the work we within the department are actively committed to working harder on the work reminds us, as we come to work and go in and out of the visual arts department, of the work we have to do.
We welcome the opportunity to facilitate a more public gesture on Library Walk or at the main entrances to campus, as implied by the support shown today by UCSD administration.” -UCSD Vis Arts

I am sad to say that Sam Coronado passed away November 11th. I had the honor of working with Sam and the great staff from the Serie Project while on a short residency in May of this year. Sam was an accomplished artist and tireless promoter of the arts. He was the founder of the Serie Project and Coronado Studio, co-founder of Mexic-Arte Museum, and a contributor to many other organizations and worked closely with many artists.
