Thing TWO: Dwelling: New Acquisitions | Cantor art center
October 4, 2024 – Ongoing
Dwelling: New Acquisitions showcases recent acquisitions to the Cantor Arts Center's collection and explores how these works expand our understanding of home. This exhibition highlights that home can be more than just a physical space; it can also be a familial tradition, a challenging reality, or the inner world of one's own mind and body. By offering diverse perspectives and experiences, this grouping of works suggests that art itself can serve as a meaningful dwelling place.
Titled after a blanket sculpture by artist Marie Watt that anchors the exhibition, Dwelling also includes works by artists Pacita Abad, Robert Bechtle, ektor garcia, Ficre Ghebreyesus, Sasha Gordon, Mike Henderson, Nina Katchadourian, Margaret Kilgallen, James Leong, Narsiso Martinez, Jiab Prachakul, Ben Sakoguchi, Stephanie Shih, Rose B. Simpson, Joey Terrill, Lava Thomas, Arleene Correa Valencia, Gary Woo, and Oscar yi Hou.
Dwelling: New Acquisitions is curated by Veronica Roberts, John and Jill Freidenrich Director, and Aleesa Pitchamarn Alexander, PhD, Robert M. and Ruth L. Halperin Associate Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art and Co-Director of the Asian American Art Initiative; with Kathryn Cua, Curatorial Assistant, Asian American Art Initiative, and Jorge Eduardo Sibaja, Curatorial Assistant.

Every year, SFCB selects two to three artists to create a special edition of artists' books — each just 4 x 4 inches and limited to 100 copies. We provide workspace, studio access, technical support, and a materials stipend to help bring each project to life.
Since the program launched in 2008, more than 40 editions have been created. This year, SFCB is excited to be working with artists Paul Oh (Rascally Sophist Press) and Nick Shick on their editions. SFCB Studio Director Chad Johnson says of this year’s program: “SFCB’s Imprint Committee is excited to announce two new editions from our annual Small Plates series. Without revealing too many details, this year’s books by Paul Oh and Nick Shick include plenty of planning, letterpress printing, and soul. We can't wait for you to see them!”
Reception 6 - 8 pm; artist remarks begin at 6:30 pm.
LOCATION: San Francisco Center for the Book, 375 Rhode Island Street, San Francisco, CA 94103
