SFMOMA: Rafael Lozano-Hemmer

New exhibition: Unstable Presence
Air + water, music + voices, text + light, with poetic & political dimensions that engage our sense of play and agency.

Air and water, music and voices, text and light — these are materials of media artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer. Over the past few decades, the artist has earned international recognition for large-scale participatory installations that frequently incorporate technology and the architecture of public spaces.

Rafael Lozano-Hemmer: Unstable Presence offers a new perspective on his “anti-monuments” and their poetic and political dimensions. The works highlight the ephemeral and unstable relationship between physical presence and the natural and technological spaces we inhabit, bringing together recent sculptural and performative installations realized on microscopic and macroscopic scales and engaging our sense of play and agency.

Thursdays from 7–8 p.m: Enjoy the artwork Sphere Packing: Bach as it switches to a special performance mode and plays a single composition — Matthäus-Passion, BWV 244, pt. 2: no. 39, aria, “Erbarme dich, mein Gott” (Have Mercy, My God) — on all of its 1,128 loudspeaker channels.
