Program and Opening of the Time Capsule

Saturday, September 7 @ 6PM

Join us on Saturday, September 7th at 6 pm for a program to mark the unlocking and opening of the ten-year Santa Ana time capsule installed at Grand Central, developed originally in 2014 as part of artist Daniel Tucker’s GCAC artist-in-residence. The event will kick off with a discussion between Tucker and Rosten Woo about the video Future Perfect: Time Capsules in Reagan Country on display in the gallery, which documents the creation of the time capsule. The conversation will be followed with a reading of a letter to the future by Manny Escamilla, who co-organized the 2014 time capsule with the Santa Ana Public Library History Room. Concluding the evening, the time capsule will be opened and displayed in the Grand Central Art Center gallery. People who placed items into the original time capsule and those interested in local history and California political history are highly encouraged to attend. 

Daniel Tucker’s original residency in development of the time capsule was supported in part by a grant to Grand Central Art Center from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.
