Dreamtigers: University of California, Santa Barbara MFA Exhibition
Co-curated by CAF Executive Director Miki Garcia and Artist and Professor in the Department of Art, UCSB, Jane Callister
Organized by CAF Executive Director, Miki Garcia and Artist and UCSB Department of Art Professor, Jane Callister, Dreamtigers according to Callister is “the product of diligent organization, many studio visits, and conversations with the artists leading to what we expect will be a lively and varied aesthetic showcase of UCSB's outstanding student artists.” The title borrows from a Jorge Luis Borges’ work of the same name. Considered one of his most personal works, the book comprises a collection of poems, parables, and short stories that at first glance seem dissimilar, but taken together form a subtly cohesive portrait of the author. Adopting this framework, this exhibition at CAF also offers a range of distinct artistic practices and expression from the five MFA graduates. Altogether, Dreamtigers is a unified presentation of emerging artists working in the field today.
