I am really looking forward to playing an eclectic mix at the museum. Friday, October 17, 6–9p $5 after 5p (Free for members) 110 S Market St, San Jose Tickets: bit.ly/ektorgarcialooseends ektor garcia: loose ends, the first solo museum exhibition in California by Mexico City–based artist ektor garcia marks a homecoming for garcia, who was born in California and spent his formative years in the Bay Area. garcia’s work draws on handcraft traditions and a DIY punk sensibility to create constantly evolving objects made of copper wires, cast metals, glass, and fiber. His exhibition at SJMA repurposes new and existing sculptures into a single, original installation that is both intricate and psychologically charged. The evening will feature International and funk music spun by DJ Valdespín, @valde_spin ––––––––––– Image 2: ektor garcia, tejidos, 2023. Copper, 80 x 18 1/2 inches.
