Commonplaces

Planning for “Erratic Fields” began in 2022 when curator Andrea Torreblanca invited ten artists and curators to participate in conversations that took place during an expedition to the San Quintín nature reserve in Baja California. Over six days, the group explored the site of extinct volcanoes and the caves of the region’s first seminomadic people. They learned about oyster farming, and received training in the conservation of wetlands. Drawing from the expedition participants, Torreblanca invited artists to create new research-based works over the course of three years.
