Overview
Arranged thematically across time and media, California Current places historical works in conversation with contemporary ones, emphasizing both continuity and change.
Together, they ask: What has drawn so many people to this region? What has allowed communities and creative practices to take root here? And what continues to keep so many of us — despite the Bay Area’s contradictions, pressures, and constant reinvention — deeply connected to this place?
Presented as part of the Further Triennial, this exhibition features works by artists Pacita Abad, Saif Azzuz (Libyan-Yurok), Robert Bechtle, Bernice Bing, Kota Ezawa, L. Frank (Tongva, Rarámuri), Lynn Hershman Leeson, Mildred Howard, Amalia Mesa-Bains, Chiura Obata, among others.
