The Spoils (2015)
Using the neighborhood and grounds of Space4Art as their source material, Castro and Noland engaged in a collaborative process to explore the contradictions and inspirations they encountered. Considering the ever-changing dynamics of the city, while accumulating ephemera from the surrounding area, the artists created the exhibit with a nod to their respective backgrounds. While Castro, who recently moved to San Diego, reflects on sedentary and nomadic lifestyles related to the neighborhood environment, Noland, a local of many years, finds a foothold in the stereotypes of a mythic San Diego.
