About
editThe Institute of Contemporary Art San Francisco is a non-collecting institution with a 11,000-square-foot gallery space that opened in October 2022, funded through Silicon Valley–based donors.[3][4][5] Donors of the opening of ICA SF included Deborah and Andy Rappaport, Pamela and David Hornik, and Kaitlyn and Mike Krieger.[6][7][8] The space was designed after the European kunsthalle, specializing in displaying temporary, boundary-pushing art.[9] Ali Gass is the founding director.[10][11]
In 2024, ICA SF announced plans to relocated from its original Dogpatch neighborhood to a larger five-story modernist building known locally as “the Cube” at 345 Montgomery Street in the city’s financial district, expanding exhibition space from 11,000 square feet to 26,000 square feet.[12][13]
Exhibitions
editThe opening programming was a solo exhibition by Choctaw-Cherokee artist Jeffrey Gibson's, "This Burning World"; and a group exhibition curated by Tahirah Rasheed and Autumn Breon, of work by Oakland-based artists Liz Hernández and Ryan Whelan.[14][15][16]
