A San Diego native, Dave Hampton is engaged in the study of California’s postwar visual art and architecture community. He has worked with many artists and object makers who were active in the region during the 50s, 60s and 70s, with a particular focus on modernism and San Diego artists and craftspeople. He regularly wrote for the KPBS Culture Lust blog and often appears on KPBS radio and television in relation to San Diego’s midcentury art and architecture community. In 2012 he was presented with the Ruocco Award for innovation in the arts and architecture by the group Citizens Coordinate For Century 3.
