Japanese Photography from Postwar to Now at SFMOMA

SFMOMA will highlight Japanese photography in two exhibitions at the newly expanded museum this fall—Japanese Photography from Postwar to Now and New Work: Sohei Nishino. These exhibitions celebrate the museum’s commitment to the profoundly important work made by Japanese photographers from the time of postwar renewal in the 1950s to present day. Experience the terrifying magic that these photographs will push on you, it’s a profound experience, to say the least. // October 15, 2016 – March 12, 2017, SFMOMA, 151 3rd St, (SoMa), sfmoma.org

Minted & Musical Chairs at Pro Arts

Pro Arts is pleased to announce the opening of “Minted” a multi-disciplinary survey exhibition of recent graduates from the MFA program at San Jose State University and “Musical Chairs” an installation in the project space by Warith Taha. The title of this exhibition refers to the common phrase, newly minted as in a shiny new coin. It is a play on words: currency, as in money, and currency, as in the newness obsessively sought by the Art World, which is then transformed into currency, as in money. Did you keep up? // Sept 2nd, 6:00pm – 9:00pm, Pro Art Gallery, 150 Frank H Ogawa Plaza, (Oakland), proartsgallery.org
