The San Jose Museum of Art will launch a new exhibition series called “Beta Space” this March. Like the legendary Silicon Valley garage, Beta Space will serve as an experimental laboratory for artists, collaborative ventures, and catalytic ideas. The Museum has converted the north gallery on the second floor for this ongoing series of exhibitions. The first installment features new works by Appel and Ochoa, two Los Angeles-based artists known for rethinking the built environment. Appel focuses on domestic settings, while Ochoa explores urban landscapes. Beta Space brings the two artists together for an artistic “conversation” to imagine alternative urban spaces and domestic habitats.
