Parkeology: In Dust We Trust was a retrospective exhibition at The San Diego Art Institute, featuring Season I of Parkeology events in Balboa Park.
True to our motto, each of the Parkeology projects began through sifting through boxes, snooping in basements, and following up on another kind of dirt: gossip. Over time, these fragments grew into the five exhibited collaborative events and their respective costumes, objects, and documents.
These five Parkeology projects are only a handful of shards in the kaleidoscope of activity that occurs amidst the 1,400 acres of developed land in Balboa Park. Accompanying park relics featured in the exhibition were also displayed, carrying their own complex histories yet to be excavated.
