'Animal, Vegetable, nor Mineral' features the multimedia work of Miljohn Ruperto, utilizing virtual reality, sculpture, and animation to critique how humans categorize and expand into both physical and digital landscapes. Simultaneously, 'Jeremy Frey: Woven' presents over 30 intricate baskets by the MacArthur Fellow and Passamaquoddy artist, marking the final and only West Coast stop for this career-spanning survey.

Exhibition spotlights civic engagement of artists

The Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University has opened a new iteration of its Archive Rooms series, featuring two concurrent exhibitions: "Archive Room: Ester Hernandez" and "Archive Room: Ruth Asawa." The Hernandez exhibition showcases seldom-exhibited artwork, ephemera, writing, and family photographs from the artist's archive, including her iconic print "Sun Mad" (1982) addressing pesticide contamination, alongside materials documenting her community-based practice and activism. The Asawa exhibition highlights her arts advocacy through teaching materials, photographs, and projects from the Alvarado School Arts Workshop, an artist-in-residence program she co-founded in 1968 that operated in 50 San Francisco public schools.
