The anthology is co-edited by Lauren Pratt, Tashi Wada (Music BFA 08), and CalArts faculty Robert Wannamaker.
This summer’s residency brought together more than 200 MFA students, faculty, and visiting artists across VCFA’s six low-residency programs.
The show includes works by Catherine Opie (Art MFA 88), Dean Sameshima (Art BFA 97), Lyle Ashton Harris (Art MFA 90), and Matthew Rolston (Chouinard 74).
‘Pee-wee as Himself’ earns five nominations, including posthumous recognition for CalArts alum Paul Reubens (Theater BFA 73).
The exhibition runs Sept. 6–Jan. 11, 2026, at the Ciccillo Matarazzo Pavilion in Brazil.
‘Sometimes a straight line has to be crooked’ highlights a formative mentorship and decades of work spanning two generations of artists.
