Kim MacConnel: Collection Applied Design
Oct 09, 2010 - Jan 23, 2011
Collection Applied Design: A Kim MacConnel Retrospective is the first full-career retrospective to be presented in San Diego of this influential, San Diego-based artist. Kim MacConnel, a pioneer of the 1970s Pattern and Decoration movement, has uniquely and variously engaged the decorative throughout his career. The artist draws inspiration from such wide-ranging and multicultural resources as the textile arts of numerous world regions, found graphic images, and Henri Matisse.
MCASD hosted MacConnel鈥檚 first major exhibition in 1976 and has since featured his work in both solo and group exhibitions. This retrospective seeks to go beyond a chronological examination of artistic development to evoke the experience of past exhibitions of MacConnel鈥檚 work. The exhibition will be accompanied by a 100-page fully illustrated catalogue including an essay by guest author Richard Marshall and an interview with the artist by MCASD Curator Robin Clark.
