The current exhibit held by the faculty of the department of art and art history at San Jose State University is called: (Inter) Facing. This digital media art exhibit runs until September 20th, 2019 at The Natalie and James Thompson Art Gallery. Virtual reality drawings and an opera with video game imaging are some of the highlights. With six annual exhibits the Natalie and James Thompson Art Gallery is worth visiting often.
Across this gallery is the O Belcher Gallery that also has a digital media installation with some techno music.
While wandering the hallway I found two more galleries. I really liked that it wasn’t just art ‘presented’, but one could feel that a lot of thought went into how it got presented. Not a straight line, for example, had the outline of the exhibit on six papers on the wall.
Every gallery had a notepad for you to write and critique the exhibit.
You could feel that art in its myriad forms was present throughout SJSU.
During the academic year the galleries are open Monday – Friday 10 am – 4 pm. Tuesday evenings 6 pm – 7:30 pm. Admission is free.
Where do you feel the future of art?
While at SJSU you should go see the Victory Salute by Rigo 23.
