CSULB Painting professor Fran Siegel in exhibitions at Oceanside Museum of Art and at Wonzimer Gallery, Los Angeles

CSULB Painting professor Fran Siegel will be in an upcoming exhibition at Oceanside Museum of Art entitled Transformative Currents: Art and Action in the Pacific Ocean. The exhibition examines the historical causes and ongoing effects of the cultural and environmental devastation of the Pacific Ocean and art's potential to enact positive ecological change, both planetary and local. The exhibition opens twice on August 17 and September 7, 2024, and will run through January 19, 2025. Professor Siegel will also be participating in an exhibition at Le Napoule Art Foundation, near Cannes, France. The show, entitled Résonance is "a multimedia exhibition illustrating the encounter between an artist and a place during the suspended time of a creative residency at La Napoule Art Foundation", and it will run from August 10 through September 27, 2024. Lastly, she will be in a group show at the Wonzimer Gallery in Los Angeles, entitled Echoes of Voynich: Coded Systems in Contemporary Art. This show is inspired by the heretical Voynich Manuscript - a mysterious 15th Century herbarium with scientific drawings and a coded text that has never been deciphered. This exhibition is also part of the Getty's Pacific Time Standard series and will run from September 13 through October 18, 2024.
