Cal Poly Art and Design Students to Exhibit Original Work in Downtown San Luis Obispo June 13-21
A collective of nine graduating Cal Poly art and design students, calling themselves Big Artist Corp., will host a weeklong exhibition titled "This is Not a Couch" in downtown San Luis Obispo from June 13 to June 21. The show, located at 750 Higuera St. in the former Gaia's Gallery, features about 50 original works ranging from hyperrealism to abstraction, with an opening reception on Friday, June 12. The title references René Magritte's "The Treachery of Images" and the students' shared studio couch, which became a symbol of their collaborative experience.
