DEFYING EXPECTATIONS: CONTEMPORARY
NATIVE AMERICAN ART FROM
SAN DIEGO COUNTY
PREVIEW RECEPTION
5:00 – 7:00 p.m.

Breaking stereotypes of Native American Art Defying Expectations
Contemporary Native American Art from San Diego County examines
the work of four contemporary Native American artists. Featured
artists include James Luna, Gerald Clarke, Catherine Nelson-Rodriguez,
and Raymond Lafferty. Works within the exhibit respond to issues
of Native American identity and authenticity, but also to problems
affecting the entire region, such as the housing crisis and water
shortages. The exhibition opens with a preview reception on Saturday,
July 10 from 5-7 pm. OMA’s receptions are known for their
party atmosphere complete with wine and scrumptious hors d’oeuvres
prepared by OMA’s own Culinary Arts Council. Admission to
the reception is $10, and free for OMA members as a benefit of membership.
Defying Expectations is curated by Leah Cluff, a doctoral candidate
at the University of California San Diego, in the Visual Arts department.
The exhibition will be on view through December 12, 2010.

FROM
PAGE TO SCREEN
Character and Creature Designs of Neville Page
Science fiction movies rely on artists to bridge the gap between
fantasy and reality. Neville Page brings to life monsters that
decimate New York City and aliens who wage battle with humanity.
From Page to Screen displays the original designs from Star
Trek (2009), Cloverfield, and Piranha 3D
(which will be released in August), among others, showcasing Page’s
use of traditional media as well as digital tools such as Photoshop
and Zbrush to create fantastic creatures and exotic characters.
The exhibition features Page’s design progressions, from early
pencil sketches, to more developed digital concepts and small 3D
models. Neville Page is one of the most recognizable artists in
the entertainment industry and his iconic designs are known worldwide.
From Page to Screen will be on view in the OMA Groves Gallery
July 18 through August 15, 2010.
July 19-30
APTERA MOTORS 2e ENERGY EFFICIENT
VEHICLE ON VIEW IN THE OMA LOBBY
See the vehicle that made a cameo in 2009 Star Trek. Now a production
automobile, the 100 mpg Aptera 2e will be on view at OMA in conjunction
with the exhibition From Page to Screen: Character and Creature
Design of Neville Page. With the 2e, the driver will experience
a comfortable and reliable ride while achieving more than 100 miles
on a single full charge, equating to an equivalent of well over
200 miles per gallon. This previously unheard of level of efficiency
is delivered by the Aptera 2e's aerodynamically designed, lightweight
composite body that is so strong it can withstand a blow from a
5lb sledge hammer without so much as a dent. The body's strength
is augmented by a collection of traditional safety features like
3 point pre-tensioning seat belts, dual front and side airbags,
front and rear crumple zones and side impact door beams. An estimated
annual charging cost of less than 1/3 the energy cost per year of
a standard vehicle makes the Aptera 2e quite possibly the most energy
efficient production vehicle.

Oceanside Museum of Art presents the Medal of Distinction each year
at the Museum Ball in honor of members of the museum and the community
who have made a significant contribution to the success of the museum.
This year’s honorees are Irv and Valya Simpson and Ann Mortland.
OMA has been like a home for Irv and Valya over the years. They
are honored to live in a community with such a vital and dynamic
institution, where they can be involved with great people, great
art, and engaging opportunities. Being both artists and art aficionados,
Irv and Valya naturally came to be supporters of OMA. They have
continued to give generously of their time and money and have procured
sizable gifts for both the capital and endowment funds. Irv is a
small businessman and artist and has served on the board for eight
years, holding positions as Secretary and Treasurer. He is also
a longstanding member of the Exhibitions committee, curator of two
OMA Regional juried exhibits, and member of the Collections and
Finance committees. As a fiber artist, Valya was exhibited at OMA
in a well-received one-person show, “Cell Memory: Baba”.
She consistently enhances museum events with her vibrant personality
and beautiful, handmade, one-of-a-kind clothing. Together they are
founding members of the Millennium Club.
Ann has been interested in the Museum from its beginning, and became
active after her retirement in 1997. When the new Getty Center opened
in 1998, Ann arranged seven bus trips that were among the first
available through local organizations. Ann has been a dedicated
member of the Special Events Committee for several years, serving
as secretary from 2001 to this year, and chaired or co-chaired the
Museum Ball four times. She also has organized numerous Mardi Gras
brunches and other events, and continues to handle reservations
and table arrangements. Now completing her fourth three-year term
on the Board of Trustees, she is serving as Board Secretary. In
1998, she coordinated the Grand Opening celebrations for the new
building. Ann and her husband Bruce are Millenium Club members and
Gold Founders.
