Relocating a University
Presentation and sculpture
by David White

Friday June 1st
6:30pm - 7:00pm
San Diego Museum of Art

"Relocating a University" is a project that takes as its starting point the "relocation" of the campus of the University of California, San Diego from La Jolla to Balboa Park. In 2010 White produced a performance for the first Summer Salon Series season in which he traversed a portion of Balboa Park intersecting the neighborhoods of North Park, Golden Hill and the Balboa Park Golf course. This same stretch land is roughly equivalent in size to the UCSD campus. What would it mean if the founders of the campus, as was once considered, had decided to locate the university in this setting adjacent to more urban neighborhoods? What would would it mean to have a world class university in such close proximity to so many of San Diego's cultural institutions?

This event is free with admission to the museum.
