The Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara (MCASB) is pleased to announce the second solo exhibition after reopening in January. Cameron Patricia Downey: Orchid Blues will open with a free public reception from noon to 4 p.m., Sunday, September 17, 2023. The exhibition will be on view September 17 – December 23, 2023.
An anti-disciplinary artist and environmental scientist from Minneapolis, Minnesota, Downey mediates concepts and bounds of world-building and survival artistry by way of Black, fantastical, and precarious spaces and forms.
In sculpture, film, photography, the written and the performed, their work engages and engulfs a language of epics out of the minutiae.In the artist’s debut solo institutional exhibition at MCASB, Downey’s Orchid Blues crosses, circles around, and dwells in found, amassed and preserved objects — known to be personally and communally dear. Across sculpture, installation, and image making, building materials, trash, junk, and the well-used, converge and deteriorate.
