Janeane speaks with Susan Davidson, a curatorial advisor to Langson IMCA, and the curator of Picturing Summer. Over her distinguished career as a curator and art historian, Susan has served as a curatorial advisor to the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation and has worked at the Guggenheim Museums (New York, Venice, Bilbao, and Abu Dhabi) and The Menil Collection in Houston. Newest exhibition, Picturing Summer, opened on July 20 in the interim space at 18881 Von Karman Avenue, Suite 100 in Irvine. Curated by Susan Davidson with interpretive text written by Dada Wang. The selection of over 30 paintings depicts our state's unique geography and lifestyles across a range of eras and landscapes, ocean views, and leisure activities—all specific to the summer months. The student Gallery Guides and Visitor Experience colleagues are on site to greet you and introduce you to art-making activities inspired by the artworks on view. Please stop by, say hello, and tap into your own creativity! Admission is always free—we are open to all—and parking is validated for up to two hours in the adjacent Airport Tower parking structure. And when you visit, please take a moment to explore our new In Focus gallery, featuring work from The Buck Collection as well as recent art acquisitions. Our new Reading Lounge also awaits you and is ideal for learning more about the artists represented in our collection and their responses to the California experience. Langson IMCA produced a brief video about the exhibition. Get a sneak peak at the in-gallery visuals. The video is produced by Bower Blue and Mike Rosetti.
