True to form, he emphasizedthe underlying principles by whichMCLL has always been guided,namely the promotion of sports-manship, citizenship, civic respon-sibility, and, of course, fun!

As hundreds of members of theMCLL family looked on, playersbeamed thousand-watt smiles asthey accepted trophies andawards. Proud parents snappedphotos as players from T-Ball toJuniors Divisions ran on to the fieldto share well-deserved individualmoments in the spotlight.

Nowhere in the city of San Diegocould a more diverse group of play-ers be found, and all of them were

CITY4| JULY 2016 | MID CITY NEWSPAPER GROUP

As part of his effort to make city governmentmore efficient and accessible for all San Diegoresidents, Mayor Kevin Faulconer introducedan innovative pilot project and mobile appcalled Get It Done San Diego that allows SanDiegans to easily report problems and requestimprovements for their neighborhoods.

“Our city government should be just as inno-vative as people we serve and it has always beenour goal to improve customer service. If wehave mobile apps that can check email, checkthe weather and check in our flights, we shouldhave a mobile app that helps residents checkon street repairs,” said Faulconer.

With Get It Done, which is available foriPhone and Android users, people can reportnonemergency problems to the city throughthe new mobile app and web portal atwww.sandiego.gov. The Get It Done app alsoallows San Diego residents to track the progressof a complaint and increase efficiency for bothresidents and City crews.

To report a problem, people can now takeand upload photos related to over 20 non-emer-gency problems with roads, street lights, trafficsignals and more. The Get It Done app usesGPS information embedded within photos toautomatically update the address and locationof problems. After uploading the photo, theapp user simply has to identify a few detailsabout the problem and click submit.

The Get It Done app will help improve threeimportant functions of city government:

1. It makes it easier to report problems.According to a recent city survey, 83 percent ofrespondents stated that they did not want tocall the city government to report a problem.The new Get It Done app eliminates the needto call the city for various problems, by allowingresidents to address issues online, which wasthe preferred method of 50 percent of surveyrespondents. The app also allows residents toreport problems with their name or anony-mously.

2. Get It Done allows residents to better trackprogress. The app makes it easier for residentsto find out what is happening with a city projectin their neighborhood. This system allows res-idents to check the status of projects in realtime and view information on their “favorite”issues throughout the city.

3. Get It Done increases efficiency for resi-dents and city workers. The app allows users toupload a picture which contains location datausing GPS. This allows the city to process infor-mation much faster because it links the user toCity crews. Similar to the way most privatebusinesses run, the app uses a Customer Rela-tionship Management (CRM) software systemthat directly links reports to a work order sys-tem. The systems connects all reports aboutthe same problem into one group and createsa single report so that every individual is noti-fied about the progress of an issue.

Accion, a nonprofit microlen-der with a 21-year history in SanDiego, has received a $250,000investment from Pacific WesternBank. The funds provided byPacific Western Bank were dis-bursed to Accion in late 2015 andwere approved as a qualifiedinvestment by the CaliforniaOrganized Investment NetworkTax Credit Program from the Cal-ifornia Department of Insur-ance.

Accion will lend the investmentdollars, which were provided atzero percent interest over a five-year term, to underserved smallbusiness owners in Southern Cal-ifornia, increasing these businessowners’ access to capital.

“Our mission is to providebusinesses with access to capitaland the support they need to startor grow their businesses, servingas a true partner in enabling themto create powerful positive socialand economic change,” saidAccion CEO Elizabeth Schott.“These funds will be essential insupporting our clients thatwouldn’t otherwise be able to getthe much-needed funding fortheir business.”

Pacific Western also provideda $15,000 grant to Accion. Thefunds will help Accion deploy theinvestment dollars, directly tounderserved business ownersacross Southern California.

This fund has been used to helpborrowers like Lisa Carroll. Lisabegan working as an accountantnearly 20 years ago after receivingan accounting degree. She worked

for some time at a CPA firm, butdecided to start her own businessin 2001 to allow for a flexibleschedule to care for her son. Lisastarted Number Crunching Inc.,a home-based bookkeeping busi-ness providing accounting ser-vices other small business. Cur-rently, Lisa has about 50 clients,and demand is continuing togrow.

In order to serve more clients,Lisa was in need of equipmentupgrades for increased storagecapacity and online security tohandle sensitive client informa-tion. Accion was able to approveLisa for a $10,000 loan for equip-ment upgrades to grow her clien-tele base.

“I was able to receive the capitalI needed to take my business tothe next level,” said Lisa. “Thanksto Accion I was able to hire twosubcontractors, so that I can ser-vice more clients and grow therevenue for my business.”

The tax credit program pro-vides tax credits to investors andhelps CDFIs raise funds for pro-jects that create social and envi-ronmental benefit in California.Without the program, many ofthese community developmentprojects would not be funded.

Each year the Department ofInsurance may award up to $10million in tax credits to support$50 million in capital from insur-ance companies and otherinvestors for community devel-opment. Investors earn a tax cred-it worth 20 percent of their invest-ment.

Small Business Trends recently con-ducted a study of the U.S. CensusBureau’s Survey of Business Ownersto discover the types of business own-ers drawn to various US cities.

With 33,386 small businesses, SanDiego ranked No. 7 on the list of topcities for small business entrepreneurs.

Certain cities in the United Statesare more popular with small businessentrepreneurs than others — and hereat Small Business Trends we set outto identify them. And as we identifiedthem we uncovered numerous pos-sible reasons why these are the topcities for small business entrepreneurs.

Some cities offer business friendly

tax structures or other incentives.Some cities, due to their large pop-

ulation centers, have access to largerpools of customers and employees.Some cities have greater networkingresources leading to greater potentialbusiness opportunities. Other citieshave significant numbers of incuba-tors and accelerators making themgreat cities to launch a startup.

Then there are cities that have aplethora of amenities, entertainment,cultural and lifestyle attractions. Andstill others do a great job meeting theneeds of small business entrepreneursthrough business support services andinfrastructure.

San DiegoWith 33,386 small businesses, the

eighth most populous city ranks sev-enth on our list of top cities for smallbusiness entrepreneurs. San Diegodraws in entrepreneurs from a varietyof industries, including aerospace,maritime, cybersecurity and manu-facturing.

Some of the city’s small businessamenities include research, advocacyand similar support programs. It alsooffers programs to help small busi-nesses get funding through loans andbonds.

While Mission Hills is home to anabundance of historic homes in a vari-ety of styles like Craftsman and Mis-sion Revival, the neighborhood canalso boast of homes like the CleaHouse.

Designed, engineered and built byboutique San Diego firm NakhshabDevelopment & Design, the new LEEDGold-certified Clea House, althoughjust minutes from Downtown SanDiego, is set on a serene Mission Hillscanyon slope. This mid-century mod-ern-inspired single-family home com-plements its surroundings and pre-serves the property’s existing terrainwith a seamless cantilever design. Ele-gantly perched on a three-story accesscolumn that encases an elevator, a stair-way and one “bonus” room per floor,the nearly 4,000 square-foot CleaHouse functions primarily as a single-level residence with large, open spacesthat beautifully blend the indoors withthe outdoors.

Architect and NDD principal SoheilNakhshab defied the challenge of theproperty’s steep lot by rising above itwith the use of innovative engineeringand architecture that he says enable thehouse to appear to “float over theslope.” The home’s unique concretestructure, simple lines and minimalistapproach all lend to its distinctivemodern aesthetic.

Upon entering the home, residentshave the choice of ascending the stair-way, taking the elevator to the mainfloor or stopping at any of three mul-tiple-use “bonus rooms,” each completewith full bath and shower. This stackof rooms adds to the versatile appealof Clea House while underscoring itsability to serve a multi-generationalfamily and provide residents the abilityto age-in-place. The bonus rooms canfunction as a variety of auxiliary spacessuch as a home office accessible toclients without having to enter themain living area, yoga studio, hometheater, music room or extra bed-rooms.

An elevator allows direct-access tothe home’s primary living areas, creat-ing greater accessibility to its elderlyresidents. The main floor offers anabundance of light and space andincludes a large entertaining room forboth family and guests, and is a focalpoint for panoramic views out a frontwall of windows that spans almost theentire length of the home. Sleek teakcabinetry surrounds a seven-foot longcustom metal crafted fireplace provid-ing generous storage and addedwarmth to the living room. The samecabinetry is employed in the adjoiningkitchen and cleverly implemented toconceal most of the appliances, creatingcontinuity between the two spaces andadding to the home's minimalist aes-thetic. A massive Carrara marble islandprovides a large workspace and an ele-gant and inviting bridge between the

kitchen, living room and dining room.The backside of Clea House spills

out onto a large patio nestled into thehillside through another glass wall, thistime a 20-foot wide Fleetwood slidingglass door that tucks away into thewalls when open. Stairs from the patiolead up to a large rooftop deck onwhich residents enjoy the beautiful SanDiego climate and peaceful canyon set-ting. An array of 25 discreet solar pan-els are cleverly integrated into therooftop design to provide an annual11,200 kWh of power. “We receivemore solar credits than we use so ourelectric bill is non-existent,” says Soheil.Below, a rooftop garden on the garageprovides added visual interest and con-tinues the natural landscape of thecanyon through the property.

The second half of the main floor iscomposed of three one-bedroom suitessituated around a separate and moreintimate gathering room. As elsewherein Clea House, the details impress: flushdoors with hidden frames, elegant fix-tures and finishes, and bathrooms withmotion sensors to light middle-nightvisits. Instead of bathtubs, Nakhshabdecided to build oversized showers, andthe one in the master bath features animpressive 10-foot wide enclosure thatincludes his and her dual showers onboth sides.

In line with the NDD's green designphilosophy, sustainable measures areused throughout the home to the stan-dard of LEED Gold including droughttolerant landscaping, nontoxic pestcontrol, water efficient fixtures and fit-tings, high efficiency LED lighting,Energy Star appliances, solar PV, andenvironmentally preferable products.This NDD signature home offers theminimalist but luxurious and sustain-able design for which the firm's teamis famous.

The Clea House is at 540 OtsegoDrive.

August 13It’s Bassist Juan Croucier’s TurnOnly one San Diego band was ever featured on TV’s legendarytell-all show “Behind The Music” — Ratt. Various members havetoured with their versions of the band since its initial split in theearly ’90s, and on Aug. 13 at Brick by Brick, it’s bassist JuanCroucier’s turn. Though Croucier was only a backup singer duringthe band’s 1981-1991 arena-filling heyday, here he sings lead,turning in credible versions of all the hits, including “Round andRound” and “Lay It Down.” While there won’t be much new inthe set, die-hard fans will enjoy a chance to hear these songs onemore time from an original source. www.brickbybrick.com

July — August Trumpeter Gilbert Castellanos on TapThe Wednesday Jazz Jams at Panama 66 have been moved indoorsfor the summer. The Young Lions Jazz Series, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.will continue on the patio, but the jam, hosted by trumpeter GilbertCastellanos, will now instead take place in the 300-capacity San DiegoMuseum of Art’s Copley Auditorium, from 8:30 to 11:30 p.m. Foodand beverages will be available, with the performances a must for anyfan of jazz. A rotating cast of world- class musicians takes part eachweek, but Castellanos alone would be worth the trip to Balboa Park. www.panama66.blogspot.com

August 10Benefit Concert for Guitarist Michael FortunaSan Diego’s musicians are always among the first to pitch in wheneverneeded, so it’s only natural that when one of their own is in need, amultitude of the area’s best will gather for a benefit concert. Such willbe the case on Aug. 10 at the Music Box when many of the country’stop tribute bands gather to raise money for guitarist Michael Fortuna,who was injured in a traffic accident last month. Fortuna, best knownas frontman for the Radiohead tribute act Karma Police and guitaristin Oasis tribute Foasis, has racked up extensive medical bills in hisrecovery, but hopefully this concert, featuring Strange Love (DepecheMode), The Cured (The Cure), Light My Fire (The Doors) and morewill help defray expenses. This is a wonderful opportunity to do agood deed and take in a great night of music at the same time. www.musicboxsd.com

July 29Popular Kneehighs Keep the Albums ComingRock influenced hip hoppers The Kneehighs host a CD release showfor their latest album, “We Put The Fun In Dysfunction,” at the Cas-bah on July 29. The bar was set high by their previous effort, “Riseand Shine,” which took home the 2007 San Diego Music Award for“Best Hip Hop Album.” But “WPTFID” is another winner, full ofgreat hard groove-edged tracks such as “I Swear I’m Never DrinkingAgain” and soul tinged “Future Speak.” Both are standouts amid thedozen tracks here —clear indicators of why, after more than a decadeperforming in the area, the Kneehighs remain one of San Diego’smost popular bands. www.casbahmusic.com

August 14A Rare Appearance by Rhett MillerFormer Old 97’s frontman Rhett Miller performs at the Soda Baron Aug. 14. One of the most respected singer-songwriters of thepast 20 years, Miller normally plays much bigger venues than this,making it a mandatory show for any of his legion of fans. His mostrecent album, “The Traveler,” continues Miller’s fine tradition ofAmericana, but whatever he ends up playing at this intimate concertwill thrill anyone lucky enough to be in attendance.www.sodabarmusic.com

If you ask people to name themost poignant detail from themovie “Titanic,” most will say it isthe moment Kate Winslet’s charac-ter, Rose, in a moment of passion,places her hand onto the foggedwindow of the backseat of an auto-mobile parked in the ship’s storageroom. It is when Rose and her newlove, Jack, consummate their rela-tionship, hours before the ill-fatedship sinks and their lives changeforever.

But before that 1912 RenaultType CB Coupé de Ville was drivenonto the set of “Titanic,” it belongedto James Cooley and his daughter,Carmen Cooley-Graham. Thestately sedan was used to drive fam-ily members to special occasions,like Carmen’s wedding, her little sis-ter’s graduation, and her baby’shomecoming from the hospital.

The Cooleys knew they wouldmiss this special car when they soldit to the producers of “Titanic,” butit wasn’t their only classic car. Notby a longshot. The family alsoowned another 28 vintage cars, 22of which are more than 100 yearsold. Their collection, housed at theJ.A. Cooley Museum in North Park,was named the best display of 100-year-old cars in the United Statesby The Smithsonian Institute.

The vintage automobiles sharespace at the J.A. Cooley Museumwith an artfully cluttered collection

of antique model trains, cameras,clocks, toys, typewriters, phono-graphs, and bric-a-brac. FounderJames Cooley has been a collectorfor 73 years, and has been in his

Park Boulevard location for 45years. Half of the building is a retailstore called Frank the Train Man,named for Cooley’s late partner andfriend, who was an avid train col-

lector. Cooley became interested in col-

lecting during the World War llscrap drive, when the United Statesgovernment was rounding up scrapmetal for the war effort. YoungCooley found plenty of junk metal,but also stumbled upon some beau-tiful automobiles that intriguedhim. After his first rescue, hebecame hooked, and has since builta successful career and business col-lecting automobiles and memora-bilia. “I started collecting (cars) sothey’d be around so everyone couldenjoy them,” he says, resting in hischair by the window at the store-front museum.

Cooley was not born with anantique spoon in his mouth. In fact,he came from very humble begin-nings. But through his passion,Cooley has built a career that sup-ported his 13 children. Carmen,who is a local residential Realtor,explains that she and her two sistersare the children of James and theirmother Carmen, who helps runsthe museum. Another 10 childrencome from five previous marriages.“My father collected wives like hedid antiques,” she says with a laugh.

If one wants to join the Cooleyfamily, he or she must love cars.When Carmen was dating the manwho is now her husband, James

A team of engineers tested a six-story, lightweight steel-framebuilding on the world’s largestoutdoor seismic shake table lastmonth at the University of Cali-fornia San Diego. The goal is tobetter understand how cold-formed steel structures withstandearthquakes and the fires that mayfollow. This is the tallest cold-formed steel-frame structure toever undergo tests on a shaketable.

The engineers, led by UC SanDiego Professors Tara Hutchinsonand Gil Hegemier, from the Cen-ter for Extreme Events Researchat the Jacobs School of Engineer-ing at UC San Diego, put the six-story building through a series ofincreasingly intense earthquakesimulations. Researchers fromWorcester Polytechnic Institutetested the building’s performanceduring a live fire. During bothseries of tests, UC San Diegoresearchers were to fly smalldrones to map the structure andassess damage.

The $1.5 million project is sup-ported by a coalition of govern-ment agencies, foundations andindustry partners including theU.S. Department of Housing andUrban Development, the Califor-nia Seismic Safety Commission

and partners from the steel indus-try and insurance companies. Theresearchers received approximate-ly $1 million in in-kind donationsfrom industry partners to buildand outfit the structure.

“The California Seismic SafetyCommission is charged with sup-porting research and educationthat improves the safety of the cit-izens of the state in the event ofan earthquake,” said commissiondirector Richard McCarthy.

“We were happy to support thisinnovative research studying howthis type of construction, inincreased use in California, can bemade safer in the case of an earth-quake or fire. This testingsequence illustrates how applyingcost-effective partnerships effec-tively and new technologies suchas drones and remote sensing canhelp reduce the earthquake riskto people and property.”

Researchers installed more than250 sensors, over 40 video cam-eras, and a GPS system providedby the Orbit and Permanent ArrayCenter at UC San Diego’s ScrippsInstitution of Oceanography, togather data during the tests. Somesensors are sensitive enough todetect movements caused by thewind.

“What we are doing is theequivalent of giving the building

an EKG to see how it performsafter an earthquake and a post-earthquake fire,” said principalinvestigator Tara Hutchinson.

Hutchinson and her teamwanted to see how a six-storybuilding made from lightweightsteel performs during and after atemblor. She and colleaguesbelieve it will fare well, in partbecause it’s lighter than a concretebuilding of the same height andas a result has less mass to gener-ate damaging forces. At the endof the testing, the building will besubjected to a simulated earth-quake that is stronger than whatthe structure was designed towithstand, in an effort to betterunderstand how it might fail andto validate computer models ofstructural response that can beused to predict performance dur-ing different earthquakes. Thebuilding’s architectural layout isdesigned to replicate a multi-fam-ily residential structure. But in thiscase researchers are pushing thelimit of structural height, erectingthe building 64 feet above theshake table platen. The largestbuilding of this construction typetested before today on a shaketable was a two-story residentialstructure in 2013.

Shake then FireDuring the seismic testing part

of the project, the building under-went a series of temblors ofincreasing intensity. Simulationsincluded motions recorded dur-ing the 1994, 6.7-magnitudeNorthridge earthquake; the 1992,7.2-magnitude Cape Mendocino

Earthquake, both which occurredin California; and the 8.8-magni-tude earthquake that took placein 2010 in Maule, Chile.

Live fire tests took place afterseismic testing. Researchers led byBrian Meacham, a professor at theWorcester Polytechnic Institute,ignited pans of heptane, a liquidfuel, in eight rooms on the build-ing’s second and sixth floors toachieve temperatures as high as1000 degrees Celsius — almost2000 degrees Fahrenheit, withinthe seismically damaged rooms.Using temperature probes andvideo cameras, the researchersassessed how damage from thesimulated earthquakes affectedthe ability of the passive fire pro-tection systems to contain firesand prevent the spread of smoke.

DronesFalko Kuester, a structural engi-

neering professor in the JacobsSchool, deployed unmanned aeri-al vehicles (UAVs) during both theseismic and fire testing to create a3D model and video of observeddamage. Data from the fire testswill allow the researchers to cap-ture the thermal profile of thebuilding. This effort aims to deter-mine whether drones equippedwith heat-detection camerascould be used to find survivorsand assess damage after earth-quakes and the fires that often fol-low them.

The building is also equippedwith appliances, such as waterheaters and stoves that couldpotentially ignite a fire if theymove excessively during an earth-

quake. State Farm Insurance andthe Insurance Institute for Busi-ness and Home Safety providedfunding to place these appliances,both braced and unbraced,throughout the structure.Researchers are hoping to evaluatewhich restraint system is mosteffective during an earthquake.State Farm also has installed asmart device that detects seismicwaves in the building. When thewaves reach a certain threshold,the device is designed to shutdown services to a residencebefore the worst of the earthquakehits.

UC San Diego’s shake table ispart of the Natural Hazards Engi-neering Research InfrastructureNetwork funded by the NationalScience Foundation, supportedthrough a five-year, $5.2 millionNSF grant for the facility’s opera-tion and maintenance:nheri.ucsd.edu.

This is the first time that seis-mic tests focused on a six-storystructure built of cold-formedsteel (CFS). The building, whichis taller than most structures thatuse CFS, included some non-structural components, includingdoors and windows. The exteriorof the building is complete withsheetrock cladding as well as CFSdoor and window frames, eachcommonly used in residentialconstruction.

IPA, Stout, Pilsner, Lager, hops, and bitter are just a few beer terms you will hear tossed around the local bars of San Diego. With San Diego County becoming such a hot bed for craft beer drinkers,

some people may be intimidated by such lingo. Brewmaster Ryan Brooks from Coronado Brewing Company has some tips on finding the ideal beer style for you.

For many of us, the first style of beer we drink is of the lighter variety including Bud Light, Miller Lite, Coors Light, and Mexican Lagers such as Corona, Pacifico, Tecate. These lighter beers were important to my pallet training. There is nothing wrong with a mass produced lighter beer. This is an important step for new beer drinkers in learning what styles your pallet prefers.

The next step for the new craft beer drinker would be to experiment with all-malt versions of Lagers such as: Kirin, Kona Longboard, and Full Sail Session. All of these beers come from 100% malted barley and skip out on the corn, rice or sugar adjuncts that make a beer lighter in flavor and cheaper. This will help you understand some of the different tastes that beer styles have.

One of the good things about craft beer is that you can buy the beer in single bottles, most likely in a 22-ounce bottle. Start off with a familiar style, lager,

pilsner, maybe even pale ale. Trying all the different styles of beer in a smaller portion will help you understand what your pallet can handle.

One of my favorite things to hear from a novice beer drinker is the brutal honesty of their tasting notes. I distinctly remember quotes of “it tastes like wet crackers” or “it smells like how a clear gummy bear tastes.” These are the best real tasting notes. Too many times beer drinkers get that wine snobbiness about them and use generic tasting words that are overused. I’m a fan of honest tasting.

You love it or you hate it. There is no right or wrong answer, if you taste it, that flavor is there for you. Over time you will be able to pick up subtleties that in the beginning get over looked due to a flavor overload from more malt than usual or an increased in bitterness, hop aroma. I encourage all beer drinkers to not always write off a style or brand because of a bad experience. Our pallets are always changing and what you hated at one point can become your new favorite. Take a chance and be open-minded. But most of all enjoy a beer.

There is no reason to be intimidated by craft beer. One of the great things about craft beer is that there are so many different styles to choose from; it’s almost impossible not to find one that you enjoy.

San Diego is becoming NorthAmerica’s bicycling capital, whereannual revenues from wholesale andretail sectors of the bicycling indus-try top $547 million, according to areport by San Diego Sport Innova-tors.

In the wholesale cycling and relat-ed manufacturing, there are cur-rently more than 50 companies withannual revenues of $97.4 million,according to the report. The retailsector — bikes and related cyclinggear — total $220 million per yeargenerated by 227 independent bicy-cle dealers, with those IBDs employ-ing an estimated 1,226 workers.Other bike-related retail activitytotals $230 million with $56 millionin retail salaries and wages.

The report also focused on SanDiego’s Cycling Consumer. One-third of San Diego County residentsor 1.1 million people currently par-ticipate in cycling. That’s a cyclingpopulation that exceeds the entirepopulation of top cycling cities likeAustin, Texas (885,400), Portland,Ore. (609,500) and Boulder, Colo.(102,200). Additionally, 37 percentof San Diego cyclists or 470,000identify themselves as“frequent/avid” cyclists; San Diegocyclists are 29 percent more likelyto purchase a new bike in the nextyear than U.S. cyclists overall; andSan Diego has experienced an 84percent increase in the number ofbicycle commuters since 2000.

The report pointed to San Diegodemographics that support bothcycling participation and industrygrowth. San Diego’s median house-hold and per capita income is$63,996 and $31,043, respectively,versus the U.S. totals of $53,482 and$28,555. An important statistic tocycling growth is that San Diego’s18-34 age group totals 27.4 percentof the population or No. 1 in thecountry.

San Diego continues to be a pio-neering leader nationally with anemphasis on high-performance fit-ness; leading engineering of highperformance machines; the birth-place and hotbed of Triathlon train-ing; and a political will to get thepopulation out of cars and ontobicycles, the report states. As of2015, it said, San Diego County hasapproximately 1,340 miles of bike-way facilities, with the city of SanDiego planning to more than dou-ble that number by 2030.

MOPA Acquires Local Collection of Australian Photography

The Museum of PhotographicArts has established the Peter andOlivia Farrell Collection of Aus-tralian Photography in its perma-nent collection with the acquisi-tion of 24 photographs and 100photo books.

The acquisition is part of a larg-er initiative to expand MOPA’spermanent collection to includePacific Rim artists and elevateAustralian photography to awider global audience while sup-porting photographers from thatregion.

“This is an ambitious endeavor

to better share the wonders ofAustralian photography with thepublic,” MOPA Executive DirectorDeborah Klochko said. “We’re notlooking to re-create or redefine it.We want to showcase it, whilelearning more about the phenom-enal work being done.”

Sydney photography collectorand dealer Josef Lebovic donatedthe photo books and supportedPeter and Olivia Farrell in theirdecision to gift their representa-tive collection of Australian pho-tography to MOPA. In addition,the donation will establish an

acquisition fund for the ongoingpurchase of contemporary Aus-tralian photography.

“As residents of San Diego,Olivia and I are delighted to beable to provide such excellentexamples of both past and con-temporary Australian photogra-phy,” Peter Farrell said. “We aresure MOPA visitors will delightin this collection.”

A range of artists are represent-ed in the collection from early20th century icons, such as MaxDupain, David Moore and OliveCotton, to more recent work of

internationally known photogra-phers like Tracey Moffat and BillHenson. Henson’s photographUntitled #20 (LMO SH177 N2A)is the first piece from the newacquisition to be included in anexhibition at MOPA. “DefyingDarkness: Photography at Night”is on display through Oct. 2.

The upcoming 2018 exhibitionand accompanying photo bookwill be one of the major projectsMerry Foresta will undertake asMOPA’s first curator-at-large.

Foresta said she is interested inwhat kind of voice this work adds

to a global conversation aboutcontemporary photography.

“Historically, institutions inAustralia have energetically creat-ed a context for the understand-ing and appreciation of photog-raphy,” Foresta said. “We will havean opportunity to see the broadrange of work offered by Aus-tralian artists. With its strongemphasis on engagement withnew artists and audiences, MOPAoffers an opportunity to experi-ence new art and big ideas.”

Take a stroll in the famous Polan-co neighborhood of Mexico Cityand visit Museo Jumex, whichhouses the largest private contem-porary art collection in Latin Amer-ica.

Opened in 2013 and designed byrenowned British architectSir David Chipperfield, the muse-um presents thought-provokingcontemporary art shows as well asacclaimed international travelingexhibitions.

In addition to a rigorous visualarts program, Museo Jumex hasbecome a key figure for the researchand reflection of contemporary artin Mexico, hosting public and edu-cational programs including differ-ent types of reading workshops,interactive events and other activi-ties.

If you can make it there bySeptember you’ll see Peter Fischliand David Weiss’s renowned exhi-bition, “How to Work Better,” whichopened this June, bringing togethermore than 200 of their artists’ col-laborative sculptures, videos, pho-tographs and installations.

It follows the innovative and awe-inspiring exhibition, “The NaturalOrder of Things,” which incorpo-rated more than 100 works fromColección Jumex and served as aframework to present Chief CuratorJulieta Gonzalez’s vision for themuseum.

Her curatorial approach identi-fies culture, the built environment,information and technology, andthe relationship between art andlife, as key fields of agency in con-temporary art. Gonzalez has been

a curator for museums across theworld, including New York City,London and other parts of LatinAmerica.

Later this year the highly antici-pated exhibition of Canadian col-lective General Idea will open, pre-senting mixed medium works fromOctober 2016 through February2017.

When you’ve gotten your art fixfor the day, be sure to stop at themuseum’s bookstore housing one-of-a-kind publications and take abreak at the café with a fresh cupof espresso.

Then you will find yourself in thebeloved district of Polanco, whereyou can enjoy the cultural diversityand abundance of high-end storesand top-rated restaurants.
