More about the exhibitions:
Al Farrow: Divine Ammunition comes home to San Francisco as Bay Area sculptor Al Farrow completes his most recent piece, The White House, which will debut alongside the public premiere of Farrow’s privately commissioned work, Temple Emanuel (2017). This exhibition casts a striking visual commentary on religion, war, history, culture, faith and the contemporary political climate. Through the display of twenty-four of Farrow’s ornately rendered sculptures of churches, synagogues, mosques, mausolea, ritual objects and reliquaries created from munitions, this exhibition examines the relationships between religion and violence, peace and brutality, the sacred and the unholy.

This exhibition is presented in partnership with Catharine Clark Gallery.
Support for Al Farrow: Divine Ammunition is provided by the Phyllis C. Wattis Foundation

 

Tex Gieling: Sixty Years highlights metal arts legend, Imogene “Tex” Gieling’s prolific practice and visually charts her creative and technical shifts and growth over a lifetime. Guest curated by Elizabeth Shypertt, the pieces selected for the exhibition showcase the wide range of work produced during her illustrious career. The objects will be arranged by decade allowing the viewer to see not only the development of different techniques but also the artistic changes Gieling went through over the years.

 

MCD exhibitions and programs are generously supported by the Windgate Charitable Foundation, Grants for the Arts, Hunter Douglas and Eclipse.
