the art life

The Bay Area continues elbowing its way into the art world’s major leagues with a large scale show at Fort Mason devoted solely to the career of Sophie Calle, the internationally acclaimed French conceptual artist whose photographic and video work is dramatically autobiographical. Through August 20. Free but reservations are recommended.

hoop dee do

The most consistent antidote to the shock of daily political news is thrice weekly on Channel 40 where the Warriors  regularly give us reasons for leaping off the couch. If you can never get enough of this excitement you might want to head out to the SOMArts Cultural Center this weekend for “Dubz Against the […]

this is our youth

If your fading memory of hippie art is Victor Moscoso posters for the Fillmore, the Berkeley Art Museum would like to update you. Their current exhibition, “Hippie Modernism: The Struggle for Utopia” is not an in-depth look at tie-dye, pukka shells, or roach clips but at the way the urge to change consciousness and society […]

Try it on Saturdays since the parking is ridiculous Before they leave the Union Square district you might want to have a last […]

More typical of his light works which have the kind of glowing spirituality usually associated with Rothko, is his current exhibit at the Pace Palo Alto. He uses holographic […]

off-grid art

Joy, wit (and a few scary scrawls) hang from the walls of “Home 2016” the current exhibit at the admirable Creative Growth Gallery in Oakland’s Uptown. For over 40 years this space has showcased the stirring talents of people with disabilities. No excuses have to be made for the level of skill these artists present. Their […]
