Michael Arcega is an interdisciplinary artist working primarily in sculpture and installations. His art, though visual, revolves largely around language. He mines history for residue from cultural clashes such as accents, Spam, Jesus nightlights, and cocoa crispies. Michael received his BFA in Interdisciplinary Studies at the San Francisco Art Institute in 1998. His work has been shown in San Francisco, Oakland, Marin, Los Angeles, Detroit, and Lisbon. He was awarded a residency at the Headlands Center for the Arts for the fall of 2005. Michael is represented by Heather Marx Gallery in San Francisco.
