Comprised by the work of 25 artists working primarily in Southern California/Baja, the show opens January 30, 2016 and runs through February 28, 2016.

Ginger Shulick Porcella  is currently the Executive Director for the San Diego Art Institute, the only contemporary art museum in Balboa Park, dedicated to the work of artists living in Southern California/Baja. Porcella is a Curator with Artist Pension Trust (APT Global) and has curated exhibitions for galleries and museums across the U.S. including: “LUMEN”, an international video and performance art festival (Founder and Head Curator 2010 and 2011); “Ivory Tower”, a video exhibition concurrent with Art Basel Miami Beach 2011; “The Typhoon Continues and So Do You” at Flux Factory; “The Sixth Sense and Other Myths” at NYC Industries for the Blind; the criticallyacclaimed “Future/Past” at REVERSE Gallery in NYC; and most recently “Beyond Limits: Postglobal Mediations” and “Women’s Work: Masculinity and Gender in Contemporary Fiber Art” at the San Diego Art Institute. Porcella’s exhibitions have been positively reviewed in The New York Times and USA Today, and her  work has been featured in Hyperallergic, creem magazine, The L.A. Times, and Modern Painters.

Thunder in Our Hearts is a small-works show featuring the work of Southern California artists working at the intersection of sound, video, performance, and installation. Taking its title from Running up that Hill by Kate Bush, the exhibition focuses on tiny works with large impact, small gestures, intimacy, coldness, brief connections, lights, flickers, and tones. Participating artists include: Robert Andrade, Banrei, Brian Benfer, Cindy Santos Bravo, Einar & Jamex de la Torre, Don Edler, Dave Ghilarducci, Brian Goeltzenleuchter, Marina Grize, Gordon Holden, Debby & Larry Kline, Davin Kyle Knight, Alex Kohnke, Angele Lebert, Nicholas Lesley, Omar Lopex, Justin Manor, Carolina Montejo, Margaret Noble, Sean Noyce, Don Porcella, Jason Sherry, Ali Silverstein, Suzanne Thorpe, Katya Usvitsky, and Perry Vasquez.
