Maria Fernanda Cardoso: Cardoso Flea Circus
Colombian-born artist Maria Fernanda Cardoso has created a whimsical installation inspired by the novelty of flea circuses. The Cardoso Flea Circus includes the elaborate stage setting of a big-top tent equipped with miniature props such as cannons, netting, tightropes, and tall diving platforms above thimbles of water. Accompanying this installation is a video of the artist dressed in circus attire leading her fleas through a series of daring tricks. The remarkable acrobatic efforts of the fleas include dancing, tightrope walking, high dives, and weight lifting. On view in the installation Gallery of the main museum in Newport Beach.

Major Art/Minor Artists
This exhibition of art by elementary-school students has been a yearly tradition since 1992, when the museum established a partnership with the Santa Ana Unified School District. Students from Santa Ana’s “Special Studio” program work on a variety of projects in diverse media, from oil pastels to clay to photography. The culmination of their yearlong efforts is the opportunity to see their work on public display. On view in the museum’s satellite gallery in South Coast Plaza.
