TNT: Thursday Night Thing

museum of contemporary art san diego

The Loft is proud to be partnering with the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego at their downtown location for the return of TNT (Thursday Night Thing)!

Taking inspiration from Tara Donovan's large-scale installations that are based on the physical properties of accumulated everyday materials, this TNT will celebrate the "Material Wonder" in the everyday. Donovan, a recipient of the 2008 MacArthur "genius" award, is known for using mass accumulations of ordinary objects, such as straight pins, paper plates, toothpicks, drinking straws, and pencils, to mimic the organization of geological or biological forms.

MCASD, along with local community partners The Loft (UCSD ArtPower!) and Sezio, will present an interactive art-making activity led by local artist David Adey, performances by famed balloon artist Addi Somekh, and live music by Money Mark and Birds and Batteries.

Tickets are $10 general, $7 students, and free to MCASD Members. Limited pre-sale tickets can be purchased online. (Online pre-sale ticket buyers will receive a free download for a Birds & Batteries EP.)

Please note this event is downtown at MCASD not at The Loft!
