…ree months. “That teamlab animation is something to marvel at,” Kimball says. “It’s immersive. It’s so animated. There’s so much to look at.” Kimball insists she’s not really feeling competitive with Pace, though she wishes her organization had resources more in line with the shiny new neighbor up the road. “Pace certainly has a kick ass team,” Kimball says. “They also have a kick ass budget. There aren’t a lot of us who can mount a Turrell show…

…ecome artists themselves, whose working process required research as well as the act of art-making to be on view at a contemporary art museum,” Shapiro said. The anchoring piece of the exhibition, American Progress, and the projected seals of tribes from across our country “make visible the commitment of both the students and the artist to present a counter-narrative to the much more common displays of American history in museums,” she added.

There’s this shadow quality — he was very interested in the transience of time and light. Hopefully you get lost in it a little bit.” “Agnes Martin’s (Untitled #21) is anot…

Art Silicon Valley/San Francisco, which highlights postwar and modern works, is returning to San Mateo in October for its fifth annual edition; over the course of its three days, the event has drawn more than 10,000 visitors.

…with me right now in a very contemporary way. He looks at what’s discarded and hand crafts it, with great care, into a beautiful object that’s given a different life,” said Aimee Shapiro, director of programming and engagement at the Anderson Collection. “He’s a young artist whose work addresses issues of police brutality and racism – issues that have existed for a long time and came to the forefront this year. I can’t help but want to be in the…

…t collection. I was in the middle of a room surrounded by large canvases of colors. One of them, covering almost the entire wall, was simply a large pattern of burgundy, black and white. However, there was something very calming about looking at it. I used to criticize such artworks a lot, not understanding the value placed on artists like Rothko. But seeing such pieces in a museum in front of you feels very different than looking at images onlin…

…by Richard Olcott of Ennead Architects, on the Stanford campus. “They consider themselves custodians of the work they collect,” says Jason Linetzky, the director of the Anderson Collection at Stanford.

This reflects Archimedes’ principle, which, for over two thousand years, has explained a fundamental part of reality that seems relatively obvious to us. The spillover effect of a body submerged in a…
