The isolation and melancholy of suburban American life is the subject of a photography exhibit opening next week at the San Diego Museum of Art in Balboa Park.
“Gregory Crewdson: Dream House,” an acclaimed American photographer’s uncanny images of deceptively serene suburban life, will be on view from Aug. 15 through Nov. 10.
Crewdson’s large-scale photographs feature Hollywood actors such as Julianne Moore, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Tilda Swinton, Gwyneth Paltrow and William H. Macy in highly produced sets with extraordinary detail.
The museum is open Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sundays from noon to 5 p.m. It’s open until 8 p.m. on Fridays during the summer, and is closed on Wednesdays.
In addition to many temporary exhibitions, the museum houses nationally renowned collections of Spanish and Italian old masters, South Asian paintings, and 19th and 20th century American paintings and sculptures.
