The UC Irvine Beall Center for Art + Technology is pleased to host a workshop with Getty PST resident artist Lucy HG Solomon of Cesar & Lois in conjunction with the exhibition Future Tense: Art, Complexity, and Uncertainty.

RSVP HERE

Please join art collective Cesar & Lois on Saturday, November 2 from 2-4pm in exploring their latest project, Being hyphaenated (Ser hifanizado), a living sculpture incorporating specimens from California ecosystems. Visitors will discover the magic of photosynthesis, breathe with microorganisms, and create art with living materials.

STEAM Ambassadors from CSUSM will guide guests through a series of art and science activities, including peering at fungi through microscopes; observing photosynthesis in real time; creating mini plant lights; and making symbiotic collages with local plant species.

The Hyphaenated Workshop is free and may be enjoyed by visitors of all ages.
