Alida Cervantes, Angélica Escoto, Carlos Castro Arias and Cog•nate Collective were chosen this year by a newly expanded jury of nonlocal curators representing the Whitney Museum, San Francisco's MOMA and other institutions.
The San Diego Art Prize has been around since 2006, celebrating the border region's visual art talent with an annual prize. Until recently, the prize was given to two emerging artists, each paired with an established or midcareer artist, but now four artists each take the prize and exhibit work together. This year's exhibition of winners will be held at the Central Library Art Gallery, opening Sept. 17.New this year is an expanded jury.
Essary said they wanted to change that, and she hopes that this new outside jury for the Art Prize is a step toward building a broader community to support San Diego artists. She said the idea first came from Institute of Contemporary Art San Diego's Andrew Utt, so she started asking around."I was really surprised at how excited the curators were from outside of our region," she said."They were really excited to learn about the artists that were coming from the borderlands.
Colombian artist Carlos Castro Arias teaches at San Diego State University, and his work often uses found objects — whether common everyday things or more unsettling items such as bones — and blends popular culture, religion and ancient myth. Last spring he had a solo exhibition at Bread and Salt,"Remorses and Other Maladies."Julia Dixon Evans
