Even as Arts Month in San Diego is ending, October is starting with a bang. This Saturday, Helmuth Projects and disclosed unLocation are hosting two openings featuring sculptural work by local artists.
Located at the Library Lofts downtown, the newly opened Helmuth Projects will present STRICKEN, a real-time endurance installation by Jenna Morrow. For 24 hours Morrow will knit without stopping, a feat she describes as “an absurd attempt at a simple task” with the goal of “reducing control over the body and process so that the results are autonomous from the intentions." The performance will begin promptly at 6am on Saturday and The Scarf will be considered complete Sunday at 6am. If you can’t make this one, there will be a live web-cam feed, but the unique nature of this exhibit makes it an art event not to be missed.
Over in South Park, disclosed unLocation will present Partial Knowledge of Things, a solo show by Josh Jon Miller, a resident artist at Space4Art. Miller will exhibit an array of sculptures, figurines and paintings in the cozy 10'x20' gallery space. From the artist: “Objects are seen as autonomous things, made, used and forgotten but they are more like limbs and surrogates of the owner - physical and psychological parts of our identity.” disclosed unLocation will open its doors to the public from 6-10pm also on Saturday, October 1st.
Helmuth Projects is located at 920 E Street, Suite 103, San Diego - 92101
disclosed unLocation is located at 1925 30th Street in South Park - 92104

Suzie's Farm, the supplier of local produce to many of your favorite San Diego restaurants, has been growing a two acre patch of sunflowers on their property just south of Imperial Beach. Beginning this weekend they plan to host a variety of art and music events within their newly cut maze in the sunflower field.
Saturday, September 24th The Tree Ring will perform before a dinner prepared by local award-winning chef Gavin Schmidt. There will be secret garden rooms containing various cocktails along with art installations by farmer/artist Elspeth Sherman. If you can't afford the $150 for the dinner and music performance, then come down to the farm on Friday, October 7th to explore the maze and check out the art for a free opening.
