Nam
June Paik was ahead of his time: In 1974, visionary genre-leaping
artist Nam June Paik coined the term "electronic superhighway." Nearly
50 years later, in a time unimaginable without the internet, SFMOMA is presenting Nam June Paik, his first-ever West Coast retrospective
and the only U.S. venue for 200 spectacular works by the father of
video art.

Erina Alejo ~ Mission
Artist and researcher Erina Alejo, born and raised in San Francisco,

renter with her family in an Francisco, documented through their long-term
project, A History of Renting (2015–ongoing). Alejo’s SFMOMA commission,
