与圣地亚哥县冲浪者基金会合作展出的展览

她们是阿特拉斯的七个女儿。
她们的名字是伊莱克特拉、玛亚、塔吉特、阿尔西翁、梅洛普、塞拉埃诺、斯特洛普。
俄里翁追赶他们，但他们在他面前逃跑了。
直到宙斯把它们当作星星放在天上
只有六颗恒星清晰可见。
除了那些视力特别敏锐的人，第七个是看不见的。”
——伊迪丝·汉密尔顿《神话

This spring semester the 海德美术馆 will be transformed into an aquatic temple dedicated to the Seven Sisters of the Pleiades. Meticulously captured by photographer Suda House, the daughters of Atlas have secretly returned to earth, inhabiting Grossmont College’s Performing and Visual Art Center, to spread awareness of the impending doom of a changing climate and humanity’s wasteful use and disposal of single-use plastics. Through these large-scale celestial photographs and an accompanying installation of plastic refuse, House seeks humanity’s reprieve from the worst-case scenarios of ecological collapse and postulates a solution grounded in history, scientific data, and mythic plausibility. Climate change is here and House’s narrative premise highlights the peril our progeny will confront. While many have ignored the inevitable, few have taken action and others have pleaded up to the sky, calling for help to avert the inescapable destruction of our world.

Limited edition prints of The Seven Sisters on display will be available for purchase. All proceeds will be donated to the Surfrider Foundation San Diego County. This powerful network of grassroots activists is dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the world’s ocean, waves and beaches, for all people. The San Diego chapter serves as the first response to local threats to our 70+ miles of coastline.

Suda House is a photographer of national and international reputation living and working in San Diego. She has taught photographic processes since 1977, first in the Los Angeles area and from 1980 she has been a professor of art and photography at Grossmont大学, where she has also served as Art Department Chair and coordinated the Digital Media Arts Lab. Presently she is a trustee with the Museum of Photographic Arts (MOPA), where she chairs the Visual Learning Committee.

可取之处 will be on display at Grossmont大学’s 海德美术馆 from February 22nd until April 9th 2022. An artist reception will be held on March 22nd from 4:00pm - 7:00pm. Walk-in visitation is available for all students currently enrolled in any on-campus classes or any staff and faculty already approved to be on campus. Students learning remotely, faculty and staff operating remotely, and the general public can request an appointment to view the exhibition. To schedule a visit, please contact alex.decosta@gcccd.edu.
