For Dear Life: Art, Medicine, and Disability is the first exhibition to survey themes of illness and disability in American art from the 1960s up to the COVID-19 era.
It narrates the history of recent art through the lens of Disability, recognizing the vulnerable body as a crucial throughline for art in the United States amid the upheavals and transformations of past decades.
It’s part of PST Art, an enormous collaboration of Southern California arts institutions around the theme of art and science.
Inhabiting seven galleries at MCASD, For Dear Life is accompanied by a rotating program of film and video. A lavishly illustrated publication published by Marquand Books and distributed by the University of Texas Press will be available for purchase.
