The California Center for the Arts, Escondido Museum is pleased to present Quint: Three Decades of Contemporary Art. The exhibition, based on the program of one of San Diego County’s most influential galleries, will open on August 15th and continue through December 31st, 2009. Works in the exhibition, the majority of which have been borrowed from Southern California museums and private collections, present an extraordinary survey of the range of regional, national, and international artists supported and promoted by Quint Gallery over nearly thirty years.

Since opening his first gallery in La Jolla in 1981, Mark Quint adopted a unique, almost nomadic approach to the business of contemporary art. Rather than establishing itself in a permanent location and then expanding over time, Quint Gallery would more often adapt its spaces and program according to the needs of the artists it was interested in presenting. From formal gallery and raw open spaces in downtown San Diego, to large industrial workspaces for artists near Miramar Naval Air Base, to unexpected (and often elegant) spaces secluded in back alleys in Hillcrest or La Jolla, Quint Gallery has maintained the flexibility to represent artists employing a wide variety of practices, mediums, and formats.

Quint Contemporary Art is pleased to exhibit works by artist Jan van Munster. The exhibition opens on April 3rd, 2009 with a public reception from 6-8 PM and continues through May 16th, 2009.

Dutch based sculptor, Jan van Munster, graduated from the Academy of Visual Arts, Rotterdam and pursued his MFA at the Institute of Applied Arts, Amsterdam. His work has been included in the collections of some of the most prominent museums throughout Europe including the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, Frans Hals Museum in Haarlem, and the Museum of Modern Art in Antwerp. Jan van Munster has been exhibiting with Quint Contemporary Art for over two decades. In the early 1990’s, he was invited to take part in Quint Krichman Projects, a residency art program in San Diego. In 2003, van Munster received the Wilhelmina-ring, which is the Dutch oeuvre prize for sculpture, a prestigious award that celebrates his extensive career in the arts. An artist who has worked with a range of materials, Jan van Munster is incessantly enthralled by energy.
