di Rosa Center for Contemporary Art has announced the opening of Far Out: Northern California Art from the di Rosa Collection, the inaugural exhibition at the museum’s new location, di Rosa San Francisco (1150 25th Street).
The exhibition brings together historical and contemporary works, highlighting the radical and progressive ethos of Northern California artists and introducing wider audiences to di Rosa’s seminal collection.
Far Out is co-curated by Kate Eilertsen and Twyla Ruby and will be on view August 2- October 3, 2025.
The exhibition features artists working from the 1960s through today, including Sandow Birk, Joan Brown, Enrique Chagoya, Bruce Conner, Jay DeFeo, Mildred Howard, Packard Jennings, Lynn Hershman Leeson, and Peter Saul, among others, to explore the myriad ways that artists working on the periphery of the mainstream art world have long been progressive forces for material experimentation, creative dissent against authority, and innovation apart from art historical traditions.
Divided into thematic sections, the exhibition reveals the way Northern California artists have always used their position of working on the margins of the art world to push and challenge art historical assumptions.
