AUGUST/SEPTEMBER
The Privilege to Breathe: Adia Millet.
Through Aug. 25. is a series of abstracted
textile pieces based on a few questions Millet
began to ask herself about privilege. Using
a combination of recycled and discarded fabrics,
Millett pieces together images of hope.
Through this process of investigation, she discovered
something we all have—the privilege
to breathe. San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles,
520 S. First St., San Jose. 408/971-0323.
La Vie de Bohème. Through Oct. 13. This
exhibition celebrates the collaboration between
two cultural institutions, San Jose Museum of
Quilts & Textiles and Opera San José. Showcasing
costumes, illustrations and props from
SJ Opera’s production of “La Bohème,” the

bohemians, and how their lives become intertwined.
San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles,
520 S. First St., San Jose. 408/971-0323.

Museum. San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles,
520 S. First St., San Jose. 408/971-0323.
Surreal Sublime. Through Sept 15. Landscape
Art as a historical genre is rooted in
the capture of nature through representation,
imagination, and emotion. Introduced in the
18th century, the “sublime” was a category of
landscape painting described as leaving one
with a feeling of both pleasure and fear of the
overpowering qualities of nature. Admission
$6.50, students, $8, general. San Jose Institute
of Contemporary Art, 560 S. First St, San
Jose. 408/283-8155.
Tracey Snelling: Clusterf*ck 9. Through
Sept. 15. Berlin-based artist Tracey Snelling’s
Clusterf*ck series consists of immersive installations
that combine sculpture, video projections,
lights, rugs, kitsch, and odd accessories,
creating the illusion of being transported to a
foreign world. A cacophony of symbols and
sounds places the viewer at the conjunction
of different, sometimes opposing cultures – all
simultaneously animated in Snelling’s world.
