We’re proud of you MCASD.

A month after bringing Fallen Fruit down from LA, and a week after a sold-out screening of Beautiful Losers (which was apparently a difficult sell to the institution’s higher-ups, but don’t get us started), the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego had the wisdom to highlight local artist Wes Bruce’s Evidence of Searching at last night’s TNT. Here’s a photo journal from the install & exhibition.
