SAN FRANCISCO, CA (November 18, 2020)—An immersive and vibrant range of exhibitions take over the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) this spring. In addition to Nam June Paik, the U.S. exclusive presentation of the artist’s radical and experimental art, the museum presents Tatiana Bilbao Estudio: Architecture from Outside In, a retrospective celebrating the Mexico City–based architect’s community-centered projects. A visitor favorite last on view at SFMOMA in 2010, Olafur Eliasson’s interactive One-way colour tunnel returns to SFMOMA’s Oculus Bridge. Eliasson’s projects are joined by works by Teresita Fernández and Anish Kapoor in Contemporary Optics, an exhibition united in its focus on color, light and human perception.

SFMOMA’s Pritzker Center for Photography, the largest space dedicated to the medium in any art museum in the United States, presents Diana Markosian: Santa Barbara, a poignant documentary project at the intersection of photography and film. This unique series recreates the story of Markosian's family's journey from post-Soviet Russia to the United States in the 1990s. SFMOMA’s New Work series provides a platform for experimentation: a dedicated gallery for artists to develop or premiere a body of work or present existing work in a new context. This spring, New Work: Charles Gaines includes two major installations that explore the history of racism in the United States by returning to the 1857 decision that denied Dred and Harriet Scott their right to sue for their freedom based on the intentions of the country’s founding.

SFMOMA is the exclusive U.S. venue for Nam June Paik, the major retrospective of Paik's radical and experimental art organized with Tate Modern, London. One of the first truly global artists renowned for his pioneering use of emerging technologies, Paik's collaborative practice bridged art, music, performance and mass media, all in dialogue with philosophies and traditions from both Eastern and Western cultures. Bringing together over 200 works that span a five-decade career, from early compositions and performances to large-scale video and television installations, this immersive exhibition offers an in-depth understanding of the artist’s trailblazing practice and his vision of a multidisciplinary, interconnected future.
