Sana Cruz Collects
EXHIBITION FOR THE SANTA CRUZ MUSEUM OF ART AND HISTORY
Imagine you visit someone’s home. You spot a collection of vintage flashlights on the shelf. Or an array of smashed metal objects near the fireplace. Or hundreds of model airplanes flying across the ceiling. What might these objects say about your host?
Santa Cruz Collects featured eclectic personal collections from residents of Santa Cruz County to explore our relationship to stuff. What drives us to collect things. What stops us from letting things go.
From cat whiskers to vintage street signs, family ephemera to "junk" the collections were personal and professional, humble and extraordinary. Included in the “collection of collectors” were four artists who created assemblage sculptures with the objects they collected.
