San Diego’s Balboa Park is home to some of the most extraordinary, artistic, and historical things San Diego has ever seen. In particular, the park’s Museum of Photographic Arts (MOPA) showcases some of the most abstract and profound works of art.
One exciting exhibit going on now is the Self/Reflection: 10th Annual Juried Youth Exhibition. This exhibit showcases youth’s self-portraits and they unique ways they perceive and identify themselves through the use of their photography. The exhibit showcases artists from children in kindergarten to teenagers in high school from many school’s throughout San Diego County as well as artists from Tijuana, Mexico.
Despite its name, MOPA’s newest exhibit, The Time Between: The Sequences of Minor White, there is nothing minor in the depth of White’s works. With this new exhibit out for the public, visitors can enjoy the selections of his renowned sequences from the 40’s and 50’s.
White’s exhibit also shows reference to his own inner struggles to finding out his own identity, through sequences with images involved with his struggle of his own sexuality. His art can be used as a special source of inspiration for up and coming photographers to show their own struggles, and muses in which they used to overcome them in order to let their artistic capacity grow.
White’s exhibit, The Time Between: The Sequences of Minor White, can be seen from now through Jan 31, 2016. Admission is $8 for adults, $7 for Seniors and retired/dependent military with ID, and $6 for students with ID. Despite the price, MOPA is the ideal place for lovers of photography to see showcased professional, and up and coming artists’ works.
