Bay Area Visual-Art Institutions Reconnect Regional Histories and Global Cultural Networks

The region’s first large-scale art triennial has unveiled flagship exhibitions across San Francisco and Berkeley, scheduled across March–June, centering overlooked artists, counterculture histories, Filipino heritage, outsider art, and community venues. SFMOMA’s planned October exhibition of roughly 180 works, including about 140 from RM’s collection and shaped by his curatorial involvement, adds a major Korean and international art signal while testing how celebrity collecting can broaden museum audiences.
