Harun Farocki’s influential 2003 essay film and Mahmoud Alhaj’s recent videos examine how perception is controlled as a result, or a tool, of war and conflict.

Known for their melodic yet melancholic sound, Ryli will provide a sonic juxtaposition to Gahee Park’s moody and introspective paintings.

The exhibition reflects Dread Scott’s longtime commitment to art that confronts political issues and interrogates American patriotism.

Park invites us to peek behind the curtain, as she lays claim to her own power as a surrealist painter working across fantasy and intimacy.

The most comprehensive presentation to date of the renowned Bay Area design studio Rael San Fratello.
