Justin Hoover, a Bay Area-based curator and artist, will visit CSU Monterey Bay on Sept. 19 as the annual visiting artist series gets under way.

Hoover is gallery director and curator at SOMArts, the South of Market Arts Center in San Francisco. His own work deals with language failures, migration issues and global translocation through performance, video and installation art.

His creativity blurs the line between exhibitions, performances, happenings and community engagement structures.

The public is invited to this free presentation, which will start at 6 p.m. in the Painting Studio (Bldg. 72), located on Inter-Garrison Road near the intersection with Fifth Avenue. Driving directions and a campus map can be found here.

Please note that visitors must purchase a parking permit. Permits can be purchased online.
