Time, Work, and Memory Explored Through New Contemporary Art Exhibitions

The City of Irvine is opening two new exhibitions at the Irvine Fine Arts Center on November 15, 2025: "Swing Shift" and "Alisa Ochoa: Splinters." Swing Shift is an interdisciplinary group show featuring nine artists exploring labor in its various forms—formal, informal, domestic, and industrial—through video, sculpture, drawings, and poetic interventions. Alisa Ochoa: Splinters presents new video and ceramic works by the Orange County-based artist, reflecting on memory, love, loss, and renewal. A free public reception will be held on opening day.
