The sixth edition of YBCA's signature triennial exhibition, Bay Area Now, a roundup of exemplary talent across an array of disciplines, continues with a visual arts exhibition showcasing 18 artists and artist collectives. Included is photography by Tammy Rae Carland and Sean McFarland; paintings by David Huffman and Robert Minervini; video works by Ranu Mukherjee and Richard T. Walker; sculptures by Mauricio Ancalmo, Suzanne Husky, Allison Smith, and Weston Teruya; conceptual work by Amy Balkin and Tony Labat; installations by Chris Fraser, Brion Nuda Rosch, Chris Sollars, and Rio Babe International; and textiles by Ben Venom.
Sean McFarland gives a lecture/performance about the natural history and development of Golden Gate Park, which conjoins fictional and factual elements, both presented as truth.
We kick off the series tonight with Michael Stabile in person, to screen parts of his documentary, Smut Capital of America, and to present an illustrated overview of San Francisco’s sexual underground of the time.
