The La Jolla Historical Society is yet another local institution that will be participating in PST ART, but before that, “Order/Disorder” will feature works from five local artists whose work focuses on the natural environment. For this exhibition, however, artists Kline Swonger (sculpture and installation work), Britton Neubacher (botanical design), Oscar Romo (sculpture and multidisciplinary works), Annalise Neil (painting and cyanotype photography), and Courtney Mattison (large-scale sculptural installation) will specifically focus on the ecosystems of La Jolla, such as caves, tide pools, watersheds and cliffs. Of the five, I think I’m most excited to see the cyanotype works from Neil, who is fresh off a solo shows at Sparks Gallery in Downtown and OMA West in Oceanside.
Runs Feb. 10 through May 26 at La Jolla Historical Society Wisteria Cottage Gallery, 780 Prospect St., La Jolla, (858) 459-5335, lajollahistory.org
