On display through January 17, 2027.

Yerba Buena Center for the Arts
GaHee Park: Behind the Curtain
GaHee Park: Behind the Curtain presents recent paintings that explore fantasy, sexuality, and mortality through ambiguous depictions of private moments. Quiet portraits of domestic solitude merge with uncanny still lifes and gentle seaside landscapes, as Park inverts inner psychology and the outer world. Insects, snails, and sardines linger, while contemplative women peer into cocktail glasses—who is imagining who? Curated by Dorothy Dávila, GaHee Park: Behind the Curtain is the artist’s inaugural solo institutional exhibition in the U.S. On display through January 3, 2027.
Dread Scott: The Body Politic
Dread Scott: The Body Politic brings together work that reflects Dread Scott’s longtime commitment to art that confronts political issues and interrogates American patriotism. In the exhibition are two newly commissioned projects, as well as a selection of pre-existing works. The exhibition draws on the urgency of the present moment, inviting viewers to consider their own positions within the systems his work lays bare. On display through January 31, 2027.
Rael San Fratello: Prototypes and Provocations
Prototypes and Provocations is the most comprehensive presentation to date of the award-winning work of Oakland-based architecture and design studio Rael San Fratello. Founded by Virginia San Fratello and Ronald Rael in 2002, this mid-career survey traces Rael San Fratello’s evolution from their early experiments merging clothing and construction, to a series of bold projects centered on the U.S.-Mexico border, to their trailblazing work fusing 3D printing with traditional earthen materials. One of the centerpieces of the exhibition is a new, large-scale commission titled "Sanctuary". 3D-printed entirely onsite using only soil, straw, and water, the cylindrical structure serves as a demonstration of the ecologically-sound building techniques that Rael San Fratello have developed. On view through January 31, 2027.
