Organizers of the Live Well Center’s public art program said the pieces were selected based on community member feedback — an attempt to create a building for the community.
San Diego-based artist Kaori Fukuyama stands beneath the installation"Light of Passage," which she was commission to create for the Southeastern Live Well Center. Aug. 28, 2023. San Diego, Calif.
When it came to installing art in the building, Barbara Jimenez, community operations officer at the county, said input from residents was gathered through online surveys, advertisements in local community newspapers, social media posts and community meetings.“What we heard directly from the community — that this is a diverse community and that having the opportunity really to reflect the diversity through art was really important,” Jimenez said.
The artists are Manuelita Brown, Jean Cornwell Wheat, Kaori Fukuyama, Chloe Becky, Wendy Maruyama, JHelen Ramirez, Andrea Rushing, Jose “Bean” Venegas, Francisco Eme, Doris Bittar, Victor Ochoa, Daniel Hopkins, Michelle Guerrero, and XoQue Art in Motion.KPBS Art consultant Leah Goodwin was brought in to help with the art. She’s previously worked on other public art projects, such as an underwater mural in the waiting room of Rady Children’s Hospital.
Goodwin said adding art changes the energy of the building. The walls of the stairwell under Fukuyama’s “Light of Passage” were going to simply be perforated glass until artistEme’s installation “Crisol,” which means “melting pot” in Spanish, has panels of ceramics and both vintage and new textiles placed on the right side of the stairwell. The ceramics, created by artist Evan Lopez, represent the local ecosystem while the textiles represent various cultures in San Diego.
